More grim news from the urbanisation of low earth orbit: yet again a failure to investigate environmental, sociocultural or astro impacts of plans for massive high risk infrastructure densification. Techbro ontologies leaning all the way in on nonconsensual planetary practices?? SHOCKING, I tell you

What, indeed: “What exactly is it that makes an educational institution? How many individual courses, books, faculty, or students can be sacrificed before it ceases to be itself?”

Whoa - so well-said: “the neutral classroom is perhaps better understood as a defenseless classroom. Without a core set of beliefs and ideologies to hold onto, spaces of teaching and learning are all too easily disciplined and made to conform to political agendas”

I'm struggling to articulate the scale of dim-wittedness in HE management. The alternative is that there is a plan to cream off the cash before walking away and crashing the sector.

In an era of every-country-for-itself, what happens in scorched cities in the global south matters. Attention must move to adaptation. No one is immune. If🪳protests are any indication, Indians are tired of the bare minimum. We might finally be asking for more. www.equator.org/articles/cit...

I’d like to make it clear for all the people following me what the sheer gravity of the news is. Without this facility we can’t ensure constant communication with spacecraft beyond Earth orbit. If this facility is off-line, the Artemis program cannot send a crew to the Moon.

The Staunch prize, launched by the writer Bridget Lawless, set out to reward thrillers in which “no woman is beaten, stalked, sexually exploited, raped or murdered”. But it was met with fury from authors within the genre. [nuanced article — I find so much of 'popular culture' alien and disturbing]

Algae are prolific producers of oxygen (and consumers of carbon dioxide), en masse producing a huge proportion of the oxygen we breathe, which means that the greening of the Reflecting Pool might be the most pro-climate thing Trump has ever done.

It shouldn’t be controversial to say that the creation of a “trillionaire” represents a giant and complete failure of public policy and government.

We do not spend nearly enough time talking about the fact that the foil freaks from Reynolds Wrap built a deep-submergence vehicle to prove the utility of aluminum construction and then we had to use it to recover a hydrogen bomb that the US military lost at sea.

A submarine built by the company that makes aluminum foil.

So much of this resonates. And I know it’s not all about me but it is a very depressing space to occupy as someone who actually likes teaching and thinks it matters. A kind of mass grief, really.
