April 15 marks the third anniversary of Sudan’s civil war and the specter of genocide once again has descended upon the country, writes international law expert David J. Scheffer. The recent theater of atrocity crimes has been El Fasher, a city in the country’s western Darfur region.

As Sudan's civil war approaches its fourth year, the atrocities that have amassed are showing clear signs of genocide. The city of El Fasher illustrates the horror unfolding.

Popular discourse attributes falling college enrollments to the rising cost of four-year college. That story is wrong in multiple ways, as @mattbarnum.bsky.social points out in his latest roundup of the evidence (citing a new working paper of ours): www.chalkbeat.org/2025/11/11/i...

Is college enrollment plummeting?
Reports of the death of the bachelor’s degree have been greatly exaggerated.

Trump’s trip to Asia mostly resulted in promises and flattery. But promises alone don’t guarantee follow-through—and that’s often where Trump’s deals break down. Read more in @profpaulpoast.bsky.social’s latest column:

Systematic execution of hundreds in a hospital in Darfur, as RSF/Janjaweed take over the city of El Fasher (population ~250k) in Darfur. That adds to an estimated 150,000+ death toll from fighting, plus many more from famine. But Sudan is one of those places the outside world cares little about.

Even as someone who has become a bit less skeptical of AI overall, and probably less skeptical than the average person on this site, this absolutely has to be a bright line. If there are ethical uses of AI, grading is not and will not be one of them.

love seeing vet polls, we don't do them enough. Interesting glimpse here, but also a small web poll, a lot of weighting, & the parade question doesn't mention the 250th, so this could be a bit high? with +/-4 margin of error? I think could easily be 60 or even 55 oppose
