Columbia University, once the academic home of Edward Said, has chosen to become the canary in the mine of neofascist, zionist, Trumpist bullying. In so doing, Columbia has ceased to be a university. Goodnight Columbia. No amount of luck can save you now. theguardian.com/us-news/2025…

"There is a decimation of higher education taking place, the government has a role to play in this and MPs need to start asking questions in Parliament. Otherwise, real damage could be done to higher education in this country."

“There is a pervading, top-down and patronising mythos of the ‘general reader’ – an idea peddled about who can tolerate what under the premise that general audiences aren’t able to manage complicated concepts”: Rachael Allen on class and publishing: tlth.co.uk/difficultandbad

The technology, as it’s currently imagined, promises to concentrate wealth and disempower workers. Is an alternative imaginable?

Because it's paywalled, & with apologies to author of 'Tory Nation: How one party took over', @swajcmanearle, & to the NYT, I reproduce below his accurate, insightful, & generally excellent recent article, which every UK voter should read. 🙏

Heidegger reminds us that the Greeks understood both physis and technē as variants of poiesis (bringing forth). Following Julian Young we could structure that as follows:
POIESIS is
1 PHYSIS
brought forth independently of dasein
2 TECHNĒ
brought forth by dasein
the programs are inherently exponential and so quantitative change leads to qualitative change (the "law of the transformation of quantity into quality and vice versa” — Engels Dialectics of Nature).
