If you are producing scholarship with AI and your work could plausibly be accessed in the EU, you are now legally compelled to disclose the nature and extent of your AI use. A tremendous win for scholarly integrity. www.lexacademic.com/blog/the-sta...

Incredibly brazen for the Prime Minister to boast about the “lasting benefits” of expanding fossil fuel production on a day like today. Record-breaking heatwaves. Toxic smoke engulfing cities and towns. Out of control wildfires forcing entire communities to evacuate. /1

I'm re-re-posting this significant article: "The open-source archive now contains more than 500,000 digitized photographs, identification papers, diaries, maps, films, and letters, many of which were collected directly from Palestinian families and might otherwise have been lost forever."

Explicit genocidal threats directed towards Iran enabled by 2.5 years of genocidal threats that continue relentlessly to be put into practice in Palestine. I feel beyond mad.

I have a new article on confusions and the sense of vibration published in @sthv.bsky.social . It’s partly about experiences that do not neatly fold into clear and distinct categories and classifications, and how to think with them.

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.
