And a third time at a Black woman. I understand and deeply know why this is an impossible situation. I know we must handle this with grace and continue to push through. But what made the situation worse was the throw away apology of "if you were offended"

This isn't a thread about the genocide in Gaza. It's a thread about a likely genocide somewhere else: Ethiopia. But please don't scroll on and ignore it. This story deserves amplification.

In an Instagram video, Scotland’s ex-First Minister Humza Yousaf and his wife say their relatives in Gaza—including a baby—are being deliberately starved, urgently calling for borders to open and aid to be allowed through.

For this, Weekend Interview #5, we went back to #1, Elon Musk, and his rejection of HIV prevention being disrupted by US funding cuts. If it was true, he said, ‘I will fix it’ Read here: bloomberg.com/features/2025-…

Blue Bottle workers in California are unionizing. The Bay Area Blue Bottle Independent Union (@BBIUnion) is launching at four stores. They're fighting for better conditions. Blue Bottle workers barely get by while Nestle—Blue Bottle’s owner—rakes in hundreds of billions a year.

@jasonhickel What a wonderful resource! Thank you for pulling this together! I’m sure this is too late, but I feel compelled to share David Graeber’s view on the term inequality as I agree with what he is saying: are we missing an opportunity to create meaningful change by using such a term?

Hi everyone, I'm excited to announce this new project: a website dedicated to research and data on imperialism and inequality. You're going to love this... (links in thread below):

Differences in moderation Philosophers tend to be far more organized and rigorous than mathematicians in managing the Q & A. Usually there is a moderator who keeps track of a list of question-askers, who raise hands at the beginning of the Q & A session, and who are then called upon in turn (except that fingers can get inserted in the middle). The moderator is also usually skilled at choosing the question order. At some seminars or colloquia, the first questions will typically be from the most prominent or relevant experts in the topic area, whereas other seminars have a practice of starting always with questions from students; elsewhere, it is left-to-right across the lecture hall or first hand raised. At philosophy talks, moreover, moderators often are also necessarily skilled at managing the session, cutting off and moving on from a discussion that has run its course, for example, even if the question-asker wants to continue. This is an important diplomatic skill of the moderator, for moderators recognize that they must shut down questions that are taking too much time in order to move on to other questions. Mathematicians, in contrast, in my experience, are often much less skilled at managing the Q & A. Mostly, mathematicians simply don't need this skill, since the problem does not arise often enough. But in the few times when such managing is called for, if a question-asker takes too much time or whatever, in my experience, sometimes the speaker can manage the discussion by asking to move on to other questions.

Free school lunches for children is such a no brainer to me. It is very much in everyone's interests to have children's brains develop properly

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
