A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
We published SIX new research articles and the first issue of volume 52 in February! An excellent way to start the year. Reminder that ALL our latest articles are online first: buff.ly/9uj6xnX
The opera AU fan fiction where Rigoletto and Figaro are lads on tour in Egypt and meet Aida who is besties with Madama Butterfly is maybe of niche interest but it is so my niche. God bless the Italians for this gift. #milanocortina2026

Greenland for the Greenlandic peoples- we were out in the thousands across the kingdom of Denmark today to stand for democracy and human rights and to tell Trump to back off. Looks like we tariffied him!
No legos for y’all next Christmas if you don’t sort that orange king 🤴 out!
New tariff just dropped.
Americans set to pay an additional 10% tax on all goods from Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland.
It starts in two weeks, rising to 25% by June.
(Aside: A trade war with one EU country is a trade war with the entire EU).
Do Americans really believe that if Trump buys Greenland, he’ll buy their public healthcare system too? 😞🇬🇱

#Internet traffic has once again started to increase in #Tanzania, climbing after 14:00 UTC. However, we will need to watch and see if connectivity remains available, or if recovery is short-lived, as it was on October 30.
Pretty extraordinary story here

The uncertainty and violence in Tanzania are a dangerous moment.
We urge all parties to prevent further escalation.
The authorities must exercise maximum restraint and respect the right of assembly.
Single-party rule is not the way forward for Tanzania.

When you see Mamdani looking all normal doing normal person things—petting bodega cats, riding public transport—you realize just how bizarre and estranged our average candidate for public office is. Rich martians in flesh suits
