it's gutting to see access and widening participation initiatives being binned across the university sector. ELCE here at Bristol, Essex Pathways here. nothing pushes my personal, visceral buttons like the idea of denying academic study to someone whose life it could change
In yet more devastating news, the VC has confirmed her plans to cut 80% of academic staff from Essex Pathways, our foundation year department. This would effectively close down all our existing foundation year programmes through the back door.

But it's not a done deal yet. Please share urgently.

Imagine being a goy and standing up and telling Jewish people they don’t know or understand their own fucking history. That Jews are ignorant and too uneducated to have correct opinions about the Jewish issue of our time that has broken families and communities. You absolute piece of trash.
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.

She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

One great thing about 22 episode seasons is that actors would be contracted to be in a certain number of eps, so sometimes a character will show up just to say "Hey, what's going on here? Welp, see ya!" and then wander out of the story.

I don't think Jewish history offers clear moral lessons absent interpretation, and I don't think trauma brings moral clarity. That said, I do not know how someone can look at Jewish history and think, "I should publicly helping armed agents of the state arrest vulnerable people to make propaganda."

You know something? I can tell from a glance at StopAntimsemitism, BoD or ADL post whether a celebrity has been antisemitic or just supported Palestine.

If it's an instant damning indictment they supported Palestine, if it's a wishy washy rebuke with a call for nuance, they've been balls out AS.
Gonna go out on a limb here and say sending Ms Rachel to Guantanamo will do the exact opposite of stopping antisemitism.

i have zero interest in most modern low budget shlock because it’s doing this self conscious “haha so bad it’s good just like the 80s!” thing. but you can’t produce that intellectually. you need to be trying to make a normal movie and have it come out wrong because you’re a crazy person

You do in fact, love to see it.
BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.”

The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.

Once these Let Billions Suffer voters see how gruesome letting billions suffer gets they will surely come crawling back to the Let Millions Suffer party and we’ll finally be able to win elections without catering to those troublesome Nobody Should Suffer radicals

Once again the most antisemitic presidency in generations, an administration with *actual Nazis* on staff, is determining which Jews are Jewish and which are degenerates (hint: the latter = the vast majority of American Jews)—with the added bonus of using "Palestinian" as a slur.
Donald Trump: "Schumer is a Palestinian as far as I am concerned. He has become a Palestinian. He used to be Jewish. He is not Jewish anymore. He is a Palestinian."

while I guess this is better than literally nothing, waiting two days and starting off by saying you abhor the views of the guy the Trump administration kidnapped and is threatening to deport is so pathetic

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

I'm a representative for the Democrats. A decade ago a grand piano fell on my head and ever since then, my memory restarts every 45 minutes. I am confident our existing legislative playbook will be able to handle this crisis.
No one has tried this before, let's see how it plays out.

*me looking at the democrats refuse to listen to their voters, pretend everything was fine as the wealth divide between rich and poor grew with each passing day, lie through their teeth multiple times, and fund a genocide red and blue voters didn't support* "wow how could the voters do this."
I’ll never get over that all of this was avoidable and our kids could’ve had a better future had voters just made the obviously rational choice in November. It’s water under the bridge now. But what the fuck, people.

Sam Altman is a titanic dipshit and the fact that he’s risen to the very pinnacle of the tech industry is all you need to know about the tech industry.
Hope this encourages folks to think harder about Altman’s proclamations about AGI.

He is now saying fusion, arguably the world’s most famous perennially ‘just a few years away’ technology, will save us from the massive energy demand of creating AGI, which, he says, is just a few years away.
Sam Altman is just blurting out words now
