Liberal ‘opposition’ to the far right in Europe is not just *indifferent* but complicit to the cementing of austerity policies, the dehumanisation & persecution of migrants. It turns a blind eye when figures like Macron make a mockery out of formal democratic procedures. 3/ bsky.app/profile/prou...

Remarkably, in the liberal scaremongering 'far right in Brussels' list, Meloni is nowhere to be seen. Mitsotakis’ & his far right cabinet can continue taking the piss out of EU institutions and rule of law/press freedom violations. Fascist perspectives get rebranded as ‘legitimate concerns’. 2/

We are truly between a rock and a hard place. While the far right keeps getting normalised and rising, the liberal mainstream in Europe only sees a problem with Orbán, Fico, Babiš, a potential Le Pen or AfD victory because of their attitude towards Russia. *Nothing else*. 1/

The more Syrian Kurds I speak to the more apparent it becomes that after Suwayda even opponents of the PYD/SDF feel they have to back the SDF and reject Damascus. The Suwayda massacres were a disaster for Syrian integration, but most Syrians still don't recognise it.

Another mammal species becomes extinct in Australia. The tally of Australian mammals extinct since 1788 (when the first British ships arrived to the island-continent) is now 39 species – far more than for any other country.

And then there were none: Australia’s only shrew declared extinct

The tally of Australian mammals extinct since 1788 is now 39 species – far more than for any other country It’s official: the only Australian shrew is no more. The latest edition of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s Red List, the world’s most comprehensive global inventory on extinction risk, has declared the Christmas Island shrew is extinct. This little animal is extremely common all over the island, and at night its shrill shriek, like the cry of a bat, can be heard on all sides. Continue reading...

Here's the reality: On any given day the President might impose an effective embargo on trade with China. This is the second time he's done it *this year*. They may patch it up again, but the pattern has been set, and it will shape expectations for the rest of his term.

Most people don't realize that most of this destruction was done with US weapons during the Biden Administration. By the time the first formal ceasefire was implemented, 3 days before Biden left office, 69% of Gaza's infrastructure had been destroyed.

The level of destruction and erasure in the Gaza Strip is simply incredible. North Gaza, before and after:

AI is so embedded in their lives, that it's become inseparable from their work. Students who never learned to write in high school are just continuing not to learn in college. We can't make every assignment in-class. We can't police them 100% of the time. So what are some solutions to repair this?

Here's the thing about AI: all of our students are using it. Constantly. For personal essays. For narratives about trauma. For creative writing. They're using it for every assignment. We're seeing a 50% rate of academic misconduct in first-year classes. How exactly are we supposed to address this?
