[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I received warm congratulations for the people of Ukraine from Prime Minister @netanyahu of Israel. Our countries share deep bonds – between our people in the first place, but also in the economy, culture, and other areas. It is therefore good to hear of Israel’s desire to strengthen these existing ties. We count on working fruitfully together to bring about more security.

EXCLUSIVE: Cofnas was unfit for his Uni job, say peers

Staff said in leaked emails to the Canary that even Cofnas's presence detracted from their work, as they had to counter the 'flood of shit' pouring from him. @skwawkbox reports

@k1zukanaide probably not!! Just more and more bullshit; it's infuriating!!!

[LifeIsFined @LifeIsFined]

@k1zukanaide I actually don't get his brazenness lol.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

Recall the disparity in US coverage of the Claudine Gay “scandal” in early 2024 vs the coverage (or total lack thereof) of the IDF murder of Hind Rajab around the same time. This is not because media consumers were crying out for more stories about two bit plagiarism allegations

[safia aidid @safiyaaaay]

there are literal rapists and abusers in academia, academics who return to campuses after serving in genocidal armies, academics whose research and inventions contribute to the destruction of our planet. Even if we look at academics whose crime was *to lie* +

Andrew Mountbatten is literally a prince in this country who has been stripped of his royal titles for being a rapist and pedophile and he gets to live everyday. This world angers me

[LifeIsFined @LifeIsFined]

So many of the quotes filled with the most grotesque racism. Just really grim and tragic.

[Lucy Powell MP @LucyMPowell]

Congratulations to Nana, one of my constituents who did work experience with me, for getting into Cambridge. That’s a huge achievement!

[Simon Baron-Cohen @sbaroncohen]

In 2014 we published the first large-scale study of suicidality in autism, subsequently widely replicated, revealing that 1 in 4 autistic people have planned or attempted suicide. That’s why I’m very concerned about the impact of the media coverage on Professor Jason Arday who is autistic. He has been accused of plagiarism and he was cleared of any academic misconduct following a rigorous investigation by Liverpool John Moores University. And yet he continues to be systematically discredited over every detail of his life, daily. We should of course always investigate plagiarism to protect academic standards. However, I cannot stand by and watch when an autistic man is on the ground and the kicking continues. This is relentless bullying of a vulnerable autistic man and raises safe-guarding issues. It’s time to stop.

[LifeIsFined @LifeIsFined]

@k1zukanaide love you!!!

[LifeIsFined @LifeIsFined]

@k1zukanaide Sorry btw I'm terrible at twitter lol so being quite curt which isnt at all how I want to discuss this lol

[LifeIsFined @LifeIsFined]

@k1zukanaide I agree with your analysis to a large extent; I think the "woke 1/2" framing doesn't really capture what happened and why, which a concept like Elite Capture does more work on while also not encouraging those who want to throw out all struggle that occurs on gender/racial lines.

[LifeIsFined @LifeIsFined]

@k1zukanaide I agree with you in that we have to be serious about our analysis of what went wrong and more introspective, but unsure if the woke framing does that? It seems to flatten deeper concepts like Elite Capture and cede rhetorical ground to the right?

[leftpain @left_plain]

OP is obviously wikislop poster but the reason that Mao & others of the May Fourth generation felt so strongly about marriage/family abolition was, in part, bc they were directly affected by the serial suicides of female classmates due to arranged marriage

Marxism isn't some rigid political dogma. Its a powerful set of intellectual tools for criticising films and music you don't like.

[Jacob Bard-Rosenberg @Prolapsarian]

THREAD: While you lot are all talking about the Arday case, let's talk about the other academic misconduct case that came to an interesting conclusion last week. About a decade ago David Latchman was accused of leading a biology lab at UCL that was publishing falsified papers.

[LifeIsFined @LifeIsFined]

@k1zukanaide I did enjoy it and maybe it's the sleep deprivation talking! But was really confused by this constant invoking of Said, the PLO etc. (mostly of the 90s) and NO mention of Hamas/any contemporary resistance ? And the writing style was Not Good ! Nvm I'm standing on business lol

[LifeIsFined @LifeIsFined]

Unsure if I've missed something amongst the fawning response to this piece. The frame of moral stupidity is well put, but the piece itself is overwritten and repetitive, and almost studiously avoids mentioning Hamas and its role, if any, in the intellectual/political resistance.

[Gavin Jacobson @GavJacobson]

A landmark essay in @Equatormag by one of the foremost Palestinian intellectuals today on why the western mind represses the reality of the Palestinian catastrophe in order to salvage the rotting fiction of its own moral innocence. Essential: https://t.co/G1MAdqwKDL
