🇺🇸 Mr. Ambassador @BillWhiteUSA,
I urge you to exercise greater restraint and to view your role in its proper context. It is inappropriate to publicly criticize a country and tarnish its image simply because you disagree with judicial proceedings. I have already told you this. Would you consider it acceptable for our Ambassador in Washington to do the same?

In Belgium, the judiciary is independent and makes its decisions—whether one agrees with them or not—free from any political influence.

I recall that the proceedings in question were initiated by representatives of the Jewish community themselves. To portray those as a country’s desire to undermine the religious freedom of Jews is defamatory. This freedom has never been called into question and never will be in our country. Our Constitution protects it.

And it is not for an ambassador to dictate the government’s agenda.

⛔️🚢 Anche oggi, il traffico nello stretto di Hormuz è praticamente azzerato.

Quella che è ormai destinata a diventare la più grave crisi energetica della storia continua, e i suoi effetti diventeranno sempre più evidenti nelle prossime settimane.

When you collect data online, are the results from humans or AI? In a project led by Booth PhD student Grace Zhang, we estimate the prevalence of AI agents on commonly used survey platforms:

Can I just commend @j_a_tucker and @SolomonMg for writing a much better version of my viral argument for academics to wake up on agentic AI—with concrete use examples, no unnecessary provocation or AI-generated text, and a more constructive vision for the future.

Read it!

Are you a social scientist who has been hearing about Claude Code but hasn't checked it out yet? Or are you a social scientist who has been playing with Claude Code and has been wondering what it means for the future of social science research?

"If we fight a war and win it with H-bombs, what history will remember is not the ideas we were fighting for, but the methods we used to accomplish them. These methods will be compared to the warfare of Genghis Khan, who brutally killed every last inhabitant of Persia."

🔬 After three years of research and as the #ActEU project draws to an end, the project researchers look back on some key successes, but also on what made them possible: the methodology, the organisation of the consortium, and the innovations introduced ⤵️

@elonmusk The EU is run by three bodies:
1) European Council - democratically elected heads of governments of member states
2) Democratically elected European Parliament
3) European Commission, composed of commissioners appointed by democratic governments and confirmed by parliament

Israel’s displacement order today forces all people in Gaza City to move south. This is unacceptable. Mass displacement amidst destruction and shortages cannot be done safely or with dignity.

All civilians should be protected by international humanitarian law at all times.

I welcome the peace agreement signed by the Democratic Republic of the Congo & the Republic of Rwanda —an important step toward de-escalation, peace & stability in eastern DRC & the Great Lakes region.

I commend the United States for its leadership & all those who helped facilitate this process.

The UN remains fully committed to supporting the implementation of the agreement.

Can you guess what happened when girls in Zambia were given a bicycle?

...
...
...

▪️ school attendance, test scores, desire to delay marriage/pregnancy, and feelings of control over life/self-image all increased &
▪️ school dropouts went down...

...as a direct result
