In January, Israeli historian Lee Mordechai released a 124 page report with 1,400 footnotes detailing evidence of Israel’s genocide, which he continues to update. How many of you heard about it? witnessing-the-gaza-war.com/wp-content/u...

a year ago, Rafaat Al-Areer was intentionally and cowardly killed by Israel, like many intellectuals, scholars, doctors, teachers, lawyers in Gaza.

Remember always the AP Style guide comes from a time when column inches in a newspaper were dear and every trick they could use to jam a few more characters into a line became acceptable use. That extra "s" in things like "Harris's" add up over the length of a whole newspaper.
I explain in my Medium essay why the AP is wrong (or maybe just nuts, in this particular regard; the AP guide may be fine for other matters). A free read (usually blocked for Medium subscribers): medium.com/swlh/kamala-...
Kamala Harris and the Apostrophe S

For any academic who needs to hear this: your institution will not love you back. No matter how much you sacrifice for them, how much you accomplish, they will not love you back. At the end of the day, institutions are corporations, not families. They act in their own interests, not yours.

It's very hard for public figures to win defamation suits, but climate scientist (and former Mindscape guest) Michael Mann @michaelemann.bsky.social just did, since the lies about him were so egregious. Good for him!

My one sentence summary of @michaelemann.bsky.social's defamation case:
"The case came down to whether people who appear to be incapable of incorporating evidence into their opinions should still be able to voice those opinions without consequences, even if doing so has consequences for others."
