I read a couple hundred death penalty cases for a case once and I think you’d all be shocked at how often this happens. The death penalty is one of the cruelest things in our system, an obvious violation of the 8th amendment cruel and unusual punishment clause, but we just love to kill.

it’s interesting how rhetorically juiceless the pro-Israel side is. they’ve basically given up on trying to actually win people over.

The Israeli demand to strip NAZA filmmakers Abraham and Szor of citizenship so that they can be executed, their homes demolished, and their families expelled is neatly illustrative of how and why the apartheid state renders Palestinians as non-human www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...
A speaker at the demonstration also called to execute the film's co-creators, Szor and Yuval Abraham, while the crowd chanted
"Execute the traitors.' The man also called for their families' houses to be
demolished.
"When they return to Israel, they should be put on trial and sent to the gallows.
And their family should be deported and their home sealed, just as is done to terrorists," a man said through a megaphone.
"That is the only solution for traitors.
There is only one language to use with traitors. We're tired of being on the defensive. The people of Israel need to go on the offensive so that the next person knows not to mess with IDF soldiers."

To be clear: I don’t give a *damn* for the collapse of assessments. If one outcome of this is abolition of grades, I’d be thrilled. The problem with the mountainous pressure on students to cheat isn’t their grades; it’s the loss of the whole enterprise. AI is stealing from all of us.

The capture of SF political leadership is complete. Fascist billionaire bros invested heavily and showed that it is possible to poison a city’s discourse, obliterate any notion of truth and decency, and win. In the past they’ve operated behind a liberal mask. That mask is now fully off

Remembering how during the Claudine Gay scandal, one of its biggest promoters of the story was Bill Ackman. Then someone uncovered that Ackman's own wife was a professor alleged to have committed much more serious academic misconduct than Gay and then nothing happened to her.

A succinct verdict on the persecution of the poor young academic who just died by suicide. Plagiarism is common. Persecution of the kind he endured is uncommon, aka selectively applied. The reason why he was targeted seems as clear as it is ugly.
