In recent decades, authority has mainly been treated as a reason-based concept within legal philosophy, understood through practical reasoning

Here, I analyse this choice & its theoretical & practical consequences - and why we may want to reconsider it

Either real-time bidding data or app SDK data is being bought and used by ICE to seize people from the streets. If you didn’t believe that the adtech stack is a human rights concern, I’m not sure what more evidence you need. www.404media.co/ice-to-buy-t...

Documents show that ICE has gone back on its decision to not use location data remotely harvested from peoples' phones. The database is updated every day with billions of pieces of location data.

Een meerderheid in de Tweede Kamer wil Antifa aanmerken als terroristische organisatie. Dat de Tweede Kamer daar niet over gaat en dat Antifa geen organisatie is, doet er niet toe. Het gaat erom dat volksvertegenwoordigers mensen die de democratie verdedigen tot vijand verklaren: corr.es/f4cdfc

De reactie van gematigd rechts op rechtsextremisme bepaalt hoe het de democratie vergaat
In de VS wordt de cancelcultuur van Donald Trump geholpen door bedrijven. In Nederland is het de VVD die extreemrechts normaliseert.

I always decline invitations to take part in debates as I don’t want to commit in advance to defending anything without reservation. Discussion is something completely different, cooperative rather than fiercely competitive.

It sounds naive, I'm sure, but looking back over the last 20-odd years of discussions about what is wrong with academia and how or how not to fix it, the idea that scholars produce knowledge (not just jobs, tech, or texts), and that that is an important social good, is largely and strikingly absent.

Article on peer reviewing in science specifically, but key points all too relevant for humanities too

www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

#MedievalSky
According to one recent study, in 2020 alone, academics globally spent more than 100 million hours peer reviewing papers for journals. For experts in the US, the time spent reviewing that year amounted to more than $1.5bn of free labour. According to a recent analysis, between 2015 and 2018, researchers globally paid more than $1bn in open access fees to the big five academic publishers, Elsevier, Sage, Springer Nature, Taylor & Francis, and Wiley.

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...
Being Too Helpful At Work Can Hurt Your Career—Here’s How To Say No
Women are more likely to take on behind-the-scenes duties at work—extra tasks like onboarding or event planning—and it's hurting their careers. Here's how to say no.
