A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

The opera AU fan fiction where Rigoletto and Figaro are lads on tour in Egypt and meet Aida who is besties with Madama Butterfly is maybe of niche interest but it is so my niche. God bless the Italians for this gift. #milanocortina2026

We insist only that the country we call home is unharmed and that our decision to remain in the Kingdom of Denmark is respected. We want nothing more than to return to our everyday lives and tasks that focus on developing Greenland in a peaceful manner. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...

This is horrifying on so many levels but let me remind you that the people of Guinea Bissau are just as entitled to basic human rights and the rule of law as Americans or Danes. 😡 didn’t we learn anything from Tuskegee or Nuremberg?

Greenland for the Greenlandic peoples- we were out in the thousands across the kingdom of Denmark today to stand for democracy and human rights and to tell Trump to back off. Looks like we tariffied him!

New tariff just dropped. Americans set to pay an additional 10% tax on all goods from Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland. It starts in two weeks, rising to 25% by June. (Aside: A trade war with one EU country is a trade war with the entire EU).

The uncertainty and violence in Tanzania are a dangerous moment. We urge all parties to prevent further escalation. The authorities must exercise maximum restraint and respect the right of assembly. Single-party rule is not the way forward for Tanzania. My statement on behalf of the EU ↓

MY GOD, SHOOT THIS INTO MY VEINS
In this messy controversy about quantification
and its bearing on standard logical rules we
simply tend to forget that concept formation
stands prior to quantification. The process of
thinking inevitably begins with a qualitative
(natural) language, no matter at which shore we
shall subsequently land.

Strategy is too often an idealised version of the university at odds with the lived experience of those who work there. Good strategy has to start with the problems and it has to be grounded in the reality of the university. It’s education, not spin.
