"For many Black scholars, academia is a burning house. If we cannot extinguish that fire, Black scholars will always bear a greater risk of being burned–& therefore have to insulate themselves against the risk more than others." @cydneydupree.bsky.social www.timeshighereducation.com/opinion/blac...

53 years ago, hip-hop was born at a back-to-school party in the Bronx. Now, the Bronx School of Hip Hop is preparing a new generation of artists to shape what comes next. I sat down with Nas to talk about the past, present, and future of hip-hop in NYC — from the turntables to our classrooms.

23,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 joules. That’s the amount of heat the oceans absorbed in 2025. A number so huge it’s almost meaningless…until you realise it’s roughly 40× humanity’s annual energy use. The ocean is buying us time. We’re running out of it. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

My favorite part of this story—which calls into question whether or not a paper can objectively cover a mega-corporation it is partnered with—is how a rep from Meta contact one the journalists of this piece several times to request that they include favorable coverage of Meta.
He then texted, four times, pushing for this story to include favorable depictions of the Meta data center. 

“Can you confirm you’ll note some of these positives in the piece?” Stone texted shortly after sending the brief statement.

The Meta executive then called the reporter and, for about five minutes, continued to push for positive coverage of Meta within this story on the company’s influence on news coverage.
