@Airbnb's insurer said it was "personal negligence" that I had my laptop charging on the floor. As if I'm supposed to anticipate flooding at all times. There was no outlet near the only table in the apartment. I used the outlet by my bed to charge my laptop overnight. @AirbnbHelp

In Feb I woke up to an inch of water covering most of the floor of my @Airbnb apartment in CDMX. My laptop was charging on the floor and was unfortunately destroyed. I had nothing to do with the flood. Now @airbnb_mx's insurers are denying my claim. Any suggestions?

I've launched a Substack! My latest post is on a course teaching Ukrainian civilians how to survive Russian drone attacks. Drones now cause most battlefield casualties in Ukraine. Russia uses them to target civilians, NGO workers, and journalists. open.substack.com/pub/laurelchor…

We are witnessing the greatest assault on campus free speech in decades--and many of the centrist/center-right commentators who once raged about "cancel culture" are completely silent

NEWS: Last night, DHS detained a Palestinian who helped lead Columbia encampment. Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too. His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.zeteo.com/p/breaking-dhs…

One could not conceive of a more textbook First Amendment violation. It will be an important test of the judiciary and elite academic institutions to see whether they crumble in the face of fascism.

BREAKING: Last night, agents from the Department of “Homeland Security” abducted Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian student activist and recent Columbia University graduate, from his place of residence. He is currently being held in ICE detention. shorturl.at/13cT9

I got in a cab to go pick up my new @HKJA_Official card and Beyond's 海闊天空 was playing on the radio. I asked the driver to turn it up. When I got back in the cab, new card in hand, he was playing Beyond's greatest hits. 🥹

Inevitable. The Bangladesh government had no choice, as having killed over 100 people since Monday, law enforcers could not have managed to contain the fury of the public response. But what does military deployment on the streets of Bangladesh mean for the future of the Awami League government? Does this action save the government or is it the beginning of the end for them?

Bangladesh update: Just been informed by credible journalist that 57 protestors/bystanders were killed today, apparently all by law enforcement authorities - bringing total number of deaths since Monday to over 100. Figures based on police and hospital reports

It’s incredibly difficult and infuriating to watch this clip of our brave friend Evan in a glass cage being sentenced to 16 years in jail simply for doing his job as a journalist
