Interviewer: There are aid trucks, UN aid trucks that are unable to enter Gaza, and not allowed to distribute aid while people are starving. But [private security contractor] SRS was able to bring in Domino's Pizza to one of their sites?

"the decision was made to appease the pro-Israel lobbyists who would inevitably escalate their complaints about the ABC employing a presenter they perceived to have anti-Semitic and anti-Israel opinions in such a public position."
BAM.
BAM.

I spent ten years attacking universities as illiberal and overly woke. Now that the Trump administration is using my rhetoric to destroy American science and higher education, I am horrified but not horrified enough to apologize.

The disconnect between mr dog's crystal clear cartoon and the cowardly passive voice header the guardian has inflicted upon it is quite the nutshell of 18 months of Israel getting a free pass on genocidal war crimes

Reading, however slowly you do it, is thinking. And you cannot do research if you do not think.
Undergrads, I can understand.
But if a grad student uses LLMs to summarize papers, just leave, go and give the funding and space to someone who actually wants to learn something.

If you're a grad student or an undergrad interested in research I need to you listen to me very carefully.
You cannot learn to write good research papers if you do not read good research papers.
Stop asking LLMs to summarize papers for you.

The response of transphobes and 'reasonable centrists' to the SC ruling really illustrates the power of legal fetishism.
There was not some 'real' meaning of 'sex' floating in the legal ether that the SC has magically divined.
And legal definitions certainly don't solve social questions.
