Why western-led regime change in Iran will backfire spectacularly
The West may target Iran's leadership, but it cannot dismantle the revolutionary system and transnational Shia networks that sustain the Islamic Republic

My latest article analysing what the flag represents
“Others dismiss the displays as harmless, w/ some even plastering the flag on their doors as a form of protection. Either stance risks legitimising the act,or pretending it is benign when it is anything but.”

For UK minorities, the St George's flag remains a symbol of racist violence
From colonial humiliation to today's jingoism on Britain's streets, the red and white flag was never a harmless display of 'cultural pride' but a weapon of fear and exclusion

400+ Palestinians including children & women were killed over night by the Israeli airstrikes. US, UK & EU are responsible for facilitating these crimes against humanity. If one still stands with Israel, it’s not coz s/he wants to protect zionist state, they just hate Palestinian/Arab lives.

Are there any academics you read where you think 'woah, that's really good writing'?
I'm having an odd time. I'm returning to books and articles that I remember as excellent. But when I read them closely, their wordwork is clumsy.
Help. Who first came to mind when you read my question?

Can you recommend any good speech-to-text software that could help produce Urdu transcriptions?

Twitter/X is unbearable now. I’ve never seen a platform so openly normalise racist, fascist, and anti-minority bigotry. Wish there was just a button to import all your followers to another platform. May this platform stay free from the likes of Elon Musk.

One of the reasons I like @bsky.app is that it's a bit more clear and transparent, much like these glasswing butterflies I snapped years ago at RHS Wisley 😊
People here seem to be more kind, friendly, and best of all, polite. Good manners, such a treasure 👏
Thank you for being wonderful company 😊🙏
