Good reporting, I think, to quote students themselves. Highlighting totally reasonable requests for attention, investment, and authentic reform, rather than focusing on the spectacle of violence www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

Kids are rioting for the right to be educated with dignity, in buildings that are maintained, for their teachers to be sufficiently supported, and for a hopeful future — and not to be gassed by police when they ask? The kids, I tell you, are ok. The grown-ups, however, have some soul-searching to do

I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

Realizing the extent to which this is true wildly changed my opinions about how to deal with Trumpism, since they're never going to be satisfied unless they're actively dominating everyone else. You can't give them some concessions and go back to the status quo: they're reactionary revolutionaries.

Serious question, as everything is on the brink of collapse. How on earth are you supposed to engage with that? Sharia law?? It's another universe, a bonkers universe, and there seems to be no desire on their part to cross it. How can we discuss policy? How can we do anything? What is to be done?

Deeply troubling and disgusting that officials at the highest levels in the US are so concerned about creating these "opportunities" for Putin. Immoral and unforgivable.

Two question for FIFA (and UEFA) - Will you commit to separation of commercial and regulatory powers? - Will you commit to a needs-based independently audited redistribution model? (Answer: no, they won't because this isn't about reform, it's about power.) www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

The lies MAGA told about Burisma and Hunter Biden are nothing compared to what the Trumps are doing in plain sight, yet none of the people who pretended to care about corruption linked to Burisma have said anything about Trump obviously being bribed by Putin. Trump Russia was always the main story.

Preparing a guest lecture where I get to share my academic concerns and why I do the work I do. For a final slide, I asked ChatGPT to surprise me with an image that condenses me and my work. This is what it came up with. Honestly I'm not mad

An image generated by ChatGPT that is based on what it knows about me and my work. Shows a scholar surrounded by books, and the image is filled with important words like Cities, Mega-Events, Geopolitics, Sustainability, Authoritarianism, Everyday Life, Spatial Justice. It's actually not badly done at all.

Chiming in to add that Zygar knows what he's talking about. A reliable expert source. And the fact that Kremlev made such lavish gifts to the American president's son is hugely problematic. And this is only what we know about! Should be front page news and lead to impeachment. Insane times
