Today, the United States eased sanctions on Russia, whose head of state is the subject of an #ICC arrest warrant, and imposed sanctions on the ICC…this is what this country is

Trump admin is doing rather well on the 'Western civilization' front. It's just that they are doing all the bits that proponents of 'Western civilization' usually seek to deny or obscure: - rape and pillage as foreign policy - public executions - racism

In my early career, I was really interested in developing theories of quantum gravity. The idea of the computer developing a theory, rather than people, just makes me feel melancholy for reasons that are hard to place

It’s really remarkable to me that 10 years into this people feel compelled to “clarify” Trump’s homicidal and often genocidal fantasies. It is deranged for the president to daydream about American cities in states he hates getting blown up. Full stop.

I stopped reading after the lie in the first sentence: "Most college professors I know believe that students learn to think — critically, creatively, reflectively, tenaciously — only by writing." "<only> by writing"? Literally, no one thinks this. Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.

If Putin accepts, every European leader (at least) should boycott the event. The G20 no longer serves the useful purpose it had during the global financial crisis, when it was founded, so nothing that matters will be lost by not being there.

Stop submitting AI-generated papers. Polishing a sentence or two is fine, but submitting crap papers with little substance and chunks of word salad is wasting my time as a reviewer. And I will reject it with a three-line review. 🤷🏻‍♀️

One of the legion of reasons why I could never be a university president is that I would simply refuse to participate in the entire farce, whereby schools’ rankings fluctuate wildly by dozens of slots from year to year, & would tell regents, donors, & the media that it was all utter bullsh*t.

Also, invading & kidnapping the leader of another country, & then seizing its material assets, is an egregious violation of the UN Charter &, because we should take the law, Constitution, & our signed, ratified international treaties seriously, should immediately end his presidency.

it I had to cite a key moment from Trump's speech, it would be this one. it is a threat not just to the Iranian government but to the Iranian people, and in that sense it contravenes both the international laws prohibiting war and the international humanitarian law that protects civilians
