When you’re going to a TWAIL conference but all the hotels near campus seem to have names like this 🙃

Rereading my PhD thesis and just found this golden typo. I’m somewhat happy I didn’t correct it before submission - it’s more accurate this way tbh

Knowing that my work actually resonates with people makes it feel so meaningful and worth all of the struggle.

Go read Marie Thøgersen's PhD thesis, a materialist critique of international cybersecurity law. It's great.

Danish Marxism making headlines. Brilliant colleague and comrade @routhier.bsky.social on the front page of the Danish public service news provider, explaining why he declined a Fulbright scholarship for a research stay at NYU @dkmarxsoc.bsky.social

So I wrote about why I declined my Fulbright grant and canceled my research stay at NYU.

Dansk forsker: Forskningsopholdet ville fremme min forskning og karriere. Alligevel takker jeg nej til Trumps USA

Som hvid mand med papirerne i orden er risikoen ved indrejse til USA begrænset for mig. Alligevel tager jeg ikke imod legatet til et forskningsophold i landet.

An astonishing statistic. And the fact that we created a world where that is virtually logistically impossible is a real detriment and very sad.

Almost half of young people would prefer a world without internet, UK study finds

Half of 16- to 21-year-olds support ‘digital curfew’ and nearly 70% feel worse after using social media

The most peculiar aspect of writing might be the seamless coexistence of the two concerns, “if I don’t get shit done soon someone else might run with my idea” and “my idea absolutely sucks”

Just received this new volume, which makes a much-needed intervention into the mainstream legal literature on international organizations. I’ll be discussing it next week at CBS with editors Negar Mansouri and @drqv.bsky.social - come by if you’re in Copenhagen, or join us virtually! 🔥
