over such accusations except when it involves a minority -- primarily a Black one. Some problematic white academics even get to quietly move off to a more obscure institution, often with some help from their original institution which mostly wants to get rid of them before the scandal blows up.

The Court of Appeal has upheld Palestine Action’s proscription as a terrorist organisation. This repressive measure is a misuse of counter-terrorism powers, and a deeply concerning part of the UK government’s crackdown on our right to protest. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

A chart like this, with its suggestion towards increased variability, is the kind of thing that can keep climate scientists up at night. Complex & unexpected shifts in dynamics can be deeply troubling, as they may give rise to extreme events beyond what anyone anticipated. 28/28
Time series plot showing the regional mean of TMAX in the Western USA for the hottest March day of each year 1940 to 2026.  Data from ERA5.  Historical statistical estimates of the evolving probability distributions are also shown.  The warmth in 2026 and the relative cold in 2023 appear as stark outliers
