I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Proud to say large number of my colleagues have called upon Cambridge to not obtain further injunctions aimed at curtailing protest on University premises or enforce current one; & to engage with conscientious students.

Charles Mills' The Racial Contract is such a brilliant book. Reading it for the third time, and I'm discovering new things. It's not an easy read at all but so rewarding when you mine each gleaming insight anew.

Not long ago, when I raised a concern about a former college Fellow who is a regular visitor and a known sexual harasser, about whom others had also raised concerns, I was met with startling dismissiveness--until someone told the official concerned to respond properly and say the right things.
Another case of a long-term sexual harassment, bullying, and retaliation scandal going on for decades under the eyes of elite institutions, this time, Oxford, cos "genius" is an excuse for rape culture

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

This itself, however, is a feature of contemporary white supremacy, including and especially its liberal wing: humming and hawing, both-sidesing, 'debating', 'pondering', 'complexity' trolling, 'nuance' mongering.
The evidence from Farage and the people that surround him screams that there is really no two sides to this story or slipper definitions - not that you’d be able to tell with just how much smoke is being blown around this.

Complete disgrace. They think that by pandering to these people, they can avoid being targeted. And that's the charitable explanation.
An absolute disgrace that @ox.ac.uk hosted this celebration of murdering a journalist.
See also Curtis Yarvin's remarks in a recent Oxford lecture:

Tim Cook, the head of Apple, is having a nice dinner with MBS, who regularly orders executions, including for tweets.
Apple hosts "a Saudi app that allows men to track the movement of their wives and daughters. In 2019, Mr. Cook said he would investigate the app, but it is still available today."

Academia is very very broken. Not least because of the high degrees of complicity with everything from sexual harassment to genocide.
When I think of all the incredibly talented, hardworking, and decent people I know who have had to leave academia for reasons they have no control over, and see shite like this, it does lean me towards the belief that huge chunks of academia are irredeemable.
Larry Summers tells @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social
he’s stepping back from all public commitments in light of his messages with Epstein, saying he is “deeply ashamed” and hopes “to rebuild trust and repair relationships.”
He will continue teaching.
