“The greatest university of all is a collection of books." ~Thomas Carlyle

Anyone gonna say anything about Lebanon’s right to exist?

NYT finally got a community note for its whitewashing language.

These people are complete fruitcakes

Powerful words from University of Pennsylvania students against their university's headlong rush to embrace of AI:

Yesterday, once again, I had to explain on national television in Belgium that the right to freedom, sovereignty, and armed resistance against occupation is not reserved for Europeans alone, but applies equally to non-European peoples.

"How can we as Christians in this area not be with Hezbollah? ... They protect our churches. They helped us fight ISIS. During Covid they gave us free care in their hospitals. When there was no electricity they gave us generators. They even put up a Christmas tree at Christmas."

This piece is paywalled, and I would never ever give the Atlantic a dime, but the essay begins its claim that Canadian Jews are being "purged from public life" with the story of a Jewish professor of medicine who quit teaching because he was offended by students' and colleagues statements about Israel. That's not being "purged from public life." That's deciding you can't tolerate criticism of a foreign country to which you have an irrational attachment. By the way, as a half Palestinian, I can assure you I've had to hear MUCH worse about Palestinians and Muslims at workplaces and at school, and it never occurred to me to quit and cry victim.

"Israel says it will take control of large buffer zone in southern Lebanon." No, that's called invading and stealing land. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Sikhs in the USA have found themselves the victims of hate crimes and discrimination because they were thought to be Muslim by bigots. Even then, many of them refused to say "I'm NOT a Muslim.": "It's just not an option for us to throw another community under the bus."

You will never develop critical thinking skills in students if you're not training them to think for themselves. The problem is not that AI produces mediocre work; the problem is that it is dishonest, & 'coaching' AI is not the same as thinking for yourself. Stop promoting it.

The Zionists are ethnically cleansing southern Lebanon using genocidal tactics deployed in Gaza. Israeli journalists report this openly, and yet there is silence from Western media.

Because South Asian politics is going to make so much sense without Muslims… 🤦 They might as well rename it the Department of Hindutva Mythology

How can I put her words out of pain into the minds of millions of Amharas? That's the puzzle that we need to solve. Amhara hate is real. Codified in the Ethiopian constitution and now running a state. So the genocide has always been inevitable.

According to the latest reports, the Ahmed regime’s political and security apparatus is in freefall collapse in South Gonder with major redeployments of national army units there and elsewhere in the region. This comes amid recent attempts to bolster performative election propaganda to later justify a “99%” landslide victory claim. However, the regime’s current posture further shows the futility of initiating a new front with Eritrea or TPLF. The question is when will pundits stop touting the non-existent war and start addressing the real one?

Israel has the right to attack itself..

So the whole world is demanding Iran opens up the Strait to all, condemning Iran, threatening Iran... In Cuba, every single person on a ventilator in hospital died overnight, because of Trump blocking fuel. Why aren't you condemning him? Why has there not been a peep?

Another example of the beauty of Uzbek tilework in Samarkand.

Why is this guy not getting fired? Oh, right, @TheEconomist is all about lying. They lied about this, which means you shouldn't trust their reportage on Africa or Asia either.
