Ok, lots to unpack in this thread. In general, though, it's a good example of the internal contradictions of Western-centric bias towards the hegemonic world order. Given the connections to my research, I will allow myself a few good-faith, well-intentioned criticisms đź§µ

A lot of words to say 'yeah, my wife, a former tenured Prof at MIT, copied material from Wikipedia in her work without attribution, but it's no big deal. Every other instance of plagiarism, however, will be identified and punished, such is my sanctimonious, entitled hubris'

And just like that, the conversation online is now that Trump is too old to serve as President and the Democrats just staged a coup. GOP attacks on Biden's age were always cynical given their candidate is pushing 80, and Biden stepping down isn't the same as Jan 6

There is no such thing as “neutral knowledge” and so there is no such thing as “a-political teaching”. It doesn’t really matter what you’re teaching or which approach to knowledge you are taking. It is all always political

Imane Khelif’s case has exposed the contradictions in the so-called “gender critical” movement by forcing transphobes into a position where they’re arguing gender is ambiguous. Imane Khelif was born with a cervix, but they have argued she is “too manly” for women’s boxing, and

"This article argues that proportionality should be subordinated to a requirement of justice" A very old and very ugly argument - that as long as your cause is just (a view held by everyone in war) you can jettison the rules (a view that can excuse anything in war). Shameful.

This might be the worst of the statements issued today by current and former political leaders. Indiscriminate bombings and massacres of civilians is showing us 'how to fight and win'. Disgusting

Here it is: a tribute to Emma Hutchison, my amazing wife & research collaborator. I hope it does justice to the brilliant scholar & the remarkable person she was. Sorry it took so long after Emma’s passing to gather enough strength to honour her. rolandbleiker.com/tribute-to-emma

A lot of 2nd amendment absolutists are now suddenly very open to reinterpreting the 14th amendment in light of 'changed circumstances that the authors could not foresee'. Stripping citizenship from 'undesirable' people born in the US is more palatable than commonsense gun control

It would be an episode of Veep if it wasn’t so dangerous and just plain dumb. Really dumb and epically irresponsible. People need to lose their jobs over this. Preferably Hegseth.
