@erinhengel@StevenKale16@DavidAstinWalsh Such a lovely set up. It is what it is. I hope, however, attitudes will change. I beehive they can. Just look at the demographic shift in the humanities/social sciences in the last decade or so.
@erinhengel@StevenKale16@DavidAstinWalsh Such a relationship cannot continue forever. In any case, the love for the "anointed", particularly in US academia, must be one of the greatest waste of resources. It's surpassing to me but self reproduction is a strong motivator for continuing an inefficient system, I guess.
@erinhengel@StevenKale16@DavidAstinWalsh Should it not be reversed? Someone who has proven they can produce on their own without their academic advisor, make it in a new environment on a postdoc or similar, proven teaching, is in my book more valuable then a fresh graduate who may or may not be successful for tenure.
Trump's 28-point war-ending "peace plan" serves Russia's interests and pressures Ukraine. Peace won't follow, just as none came from the Soviet-Nazi pact | @KseniaSvetlova

Yun Sun in Foreign Affairs: “Beijing assumes that Washington’s own policies will dismantle the foundations of U.S. global hegemony, even if it creates a lot of turbulence…in the process. China’s top priority, then, is simply to weather the storm.”

@broseph_stalin Mouthpiece for the Ayatollah. And you're paid by British taxes. ... Incredible that so clueless terrorist propagandists can make it so far in Western society.
@mikegalsworthy Tell me how he's doing that, by striking a terrorist organisation in Lebanon? Like Ukraine with a desire for democracy provoked Russia to attack, like Israel by being mainly Jewish provoked Hamas to slaughter civilians on 7/10? Keep to Brexit, and don't mix in your antisemitism!
@asifbhandari @AdameMedia Difference to fight for a legitimate cause or join a terrorist group. Lebanon isn't at war, it's Hezbollah. Iran and Palestine are run by terror regimes. Israel is a democracy granting its citizens equal rights.
@RoyalIntel_@mohammed_hijab They're the cause of the destruction. If you want to kill your neighbour, don't be surprised your neighbour strikes back. Israel has the competency to do that, while Hizbollah ... Well, a bunch of incompetent goat fuckers.
