Today my book is released! I want to take the opportunity to thank my PhD supervisors at #Birkbeck, professors @MichelleEverson and @AdamGearey who were wonderfully patient and generous with their wisdom and examiners professors @SaraRamshaw and @ElaineFahey for insightful q’s!
I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place.
I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.
Om ni hade levt för bara 150 år sedan hade ni mest största sannolikhet varit bönder. Bär den vetskapen med er in i 2025, när ni använder den tidsmässiga & ekon frihet era förfäder bara kunde drömma om till att göra meningsfulla saker som att kolla 100h Netflix/v & bråka på nätet
Powerful.
20 women from Iran & Afghanistan unite, demanding transparency for Arezoo Badri—a 31-year-old mother paralyzed for being unveiled in her car. Join them. Make your own video, write your statement, and ask #WhereIsArezoo.
#آرزو_بدری_کجاست
#WhereIsArezoo et pourquoi le gouvernement fait taire sa famille. Sa sœur subit des pressions pour faire des aveux forcés. Une enquête internationale est nécessaire de toute urgence. Ensemble, nous sommes plus forts 💔
Iranian woman Shot by Morality Police Forced Confession, International Outcry Urgently Needed
Arezoo Badri, 31 year old mother, was brutally shot by the Islamic regime’s Morality Police while sitting unveiled in her car, a tragic echo of the fate that befell Mahsa Amini. Now paralyzed from the waist down, Arezoo’s life has been shattered by the same forces that killed Mahsa, a young woman whose death ignited a global movement called; Woman, Life, Freedom.
Despite her critical condition, the regime is cruelly pressuring her family into making a forced confession about her circumstances. Arezoo has undergone a second surgery for her lungs, yet details about her current condition remain hidden, as the regime tightens its grip on her suffering family.
The Morality Police, infamous for their violent enforcement of the regime’s oppressive dress codes, have once again left a family broken and terrorized. One of the relative told me that Arezoo’s loved ones are being threatened into silence, forced to bear the weight of this injustice alone. An international investigation is urgently needed to expose the truth and hold the perpetrators accountable for this atrocity.

Sverige mest sålda ost är hushållsost.
Jag vill att ni begrundar detta när ni 3 gånger om dagen får se bilder på hur en vinhylla kan se ut i en mataffär i ett välbärgat pariskvarter. Sverige har inget ostmonopol. ICA kommer satsa på vinets hushållsost, inte Tomme de Savoie.
Den här texten lämnades in för två veckor sedan och har inget med de senaste dagars händelser att göra.
Men, jag opponerar mot att bildning skulle vara en garant mot extremism och polarisering, även om det hade varit fint om det var så.

@JustLuai It has been said for as long as I can remember and has nothing to do with non Christians living here. Helg means, as noted, holiday. (holy day) It is important not to be anachronistic.
Trevlig helg!🎄
We have no words. Thank you, Olof Appleton and @appletoncapital, who sent 900(!) roses to the embassy in order to express their support for Israel! 🇮🇱🌹

A blogpost trashing "low-ranking unis" has been brought to my attention, I won't link to it but to remind us all: it is small, peripheral institutions that bring new ideas that rich well-known unis later appropriate. The debt owed to institutions like Bbk by us all is unpayable.
Minns själv vilken ilska jag kände när en advokatkollega för några år sedan glatt poserade med olika gangsterrappare på sociala medier för att locka nya klienter. Han belönades med att få inspirationstala för Sveriges samlade advokater på advokatdagarna. https://t.co/sZZe48Za5x
My anger…
last year at @OsloFF I knew that, the whole world especially the Western female politicians are going to abandon Iranian women. Now listen to this short clip, then you will understand why I was frustrated.
But we clear, we the women of Iran won’t give up our fight.
Jag såg en trailer idag på filmen om Masih Alinejad.
Ett av hennes mantran är att den demokratiska världen måste vara lika enade som diktatorerna är, om det goda ska vinna över det onda.
En av de kvinnor som skickade en film till henne där hon befann sig >
