Sure, Anthropic may have stolen all the world's intellectual property, destroyed the education system, incited mass layoffs among the corporate class, devalued all art and destroyed social trust but somehow they also managed to lose $80 billion in the first half of 2026

Today, Brad Lander, rabbis, and other New Yorkers accompanied Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest. For that, they were detained by the Israeli government.
Harvesting olives is not illegal. The occupation is.
I am thankful that Brad has been released. But other New Yorkers remain detained, and they must be released immediately.
The same Israeli government detaining them has committed a horrific genocide against Palestinians, killing more than 74,000 people over the last few years alone.
The detention of these New Yorkers must end. The occupation must end. The genocide must end.

I’ve been detained by the IDF, along with a group of rabbis & volunteers. We were simply harvesting olives in a grove near Nehalim in the West Bank.
The occupation is a crime under international law. Harvesting olives isn’t a crime under any law I know.

All out, folks!
UCU have called a day of action in every University in the UK on Friday 20th November. We will be working with sister unions to ensure the biggest possible support for protests, rallies and events that will be held on this day.
This is part of our fight to protect jobs and courses as well as build solidarity across the union.
Materials will be dispatched to every branch. Start your local planning now.

Watched NAZA yesterday.
At the end, there was total silence, other than the occasional sob.
No one moved until the credits stopped rolling.
It’s a film which the perpetrators of genocide confessed their crimes.
One day that will happen from the dock.

The Labour Government need to take the climate crisis seriously and stop selling the rest of us down the (polluted) river.

I'm thrilled to share that I am the winner of one of @LeverhulmeTrust's 2026 Philip Leverhulme Prizes. Among other things, I will spend the prize money supporting a series of conferences on animal politics.

This is nuts. The ECB has the instruments to manage sovereign instability and won't risk repo spirals to please fiscal hawks.

Won’t lower energy bills.
Won’t boost energy security
And creates just 27 jobs.
Compared to all the benefits of investing in renewables and insulating our homes.

Why does Larry Summers not argue in favor of 5 percent unemployment for five years to ease inflation in 2026? What is different now?
Anyway, it was bad advice then and it would be bad advice now.

We deserve to know exactly what military, economic and political support this country has provided to Israel.
The last government did everything it could to hide Britain’s complicity in genocide. Why is this government following in its footsteps?

THIS is what is being defined as antisemitism in schools.
Presumably you can't wear blue-yellow flags either? Oh, wait, no, you can.
