A great text for the current moment is the Ranajit Guha’s essay, “the prose of counter-insurgency.” It’s illustrative of how academia, the press, and the state continue to dehumanise Palestinians, especially civilians. One of my intellectual heroes alongside Said and Eqbal Ahmed.

At jury duty in SF, one woman was making small talk with another, saying “My school starts soon. But I’m not technically a teacher; we’re called ‘guides,’ because the students do all their learning on AI modules.” And the other said, “Well you’re certainly not a teacher.”

You've probably heard about the horrifying phenomenon of students making AI-generated nudes + sexual content of their underage peers.

Unfortunately, there's a whole other set of victims of this harassment: Teachers.

Several of them told me their stories. Link in reply.

All social science Core classes at UChicago will transition to an “analog” approach for the upcoming academic year, restricting in-classroom technology use and banning AI-assisted writing and grading for students and professors.

I hate this obsession with wanting West Asians to look European. No they don't look European, they look Iranian. They also don't have to look like Europeans to deserve humanity. That little boy is no less a kid, than a kid from England, Kenya, or Japan.

Re-reading Eric Hobsbawm's "Age Of" books. This man was doing magisterial "world history" long before that was a thing, and none of the historians who have written large-scale histories of this period since then have come anywhere near his level of erudition, insight, and wit.

[Michael Billeaux-Martinez @michaelbilleaux]

Another reason there aren't more conservative sociologists is that conservatives have spent decades denying the fundamental premise of sociology, that there's such a thing as social structure which determines various outcomes
