In the past week alone he has attacked Nigeria and then Venezuela and also threatened to attack Iran (again).

Happy new year all, my yearly reminder that we should all cite Black scholars, especially folks doing research on race/ethnicity/gender/Africa, and inequality. I look forward to seeing all the citations of Black/African scholars in the research and referee reports forthcoming in 2026

Men have really internalized the height shit in the dating because I have multiple messages from obviously short men saying “you probably won’t like me because your profile says you’re so tall.”

😒 this article is trying to frame the dislike for AI as irrational rather than telling the truth that people hate AI because its obvious that companies would rather burn trillions of dollars on a solution looking for a problem than pay people better wages all while selling bullshit.
You know this article isn’t in any way comprehensive because it doesn’t mention bluesky once.
