As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.
long-term neoliberal restructuring, sanctions-conditioned accumulation, ethnonational governance, ecological breakdown, & the systematic destruction of collective political capacities reshape what becomes thinkable as “politics” and what gets offered as a “solution.”

I think to be able to hold the multiple insane things happening now demands a certain level of insanity. Because what the actual hell!?
The funding gap represents more than an administrative shortage; it reflects international attention drifting away from Sudan's crisis:
An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.
Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.
This is pure cruelty.

We've already reversed southern ocean currents to the point of disturbing whale reproduction numbers via "traditional" means. Bottom trawling and mining, carbon solidification, etc. only benefit a handful of necrocapitalists and further posion the ocean. STOP BEING AN ACCOMPLICE FOR GREENWASHING
lol the framing of this across these British cutlets is about the “shame of the institution”, little or nowhere do they discuss the humiliating experience of the Black people on stage. Or even the complicated mess of a neurological disorder, and still being racist in whatever curse words come out.
To encourage reuse of our data, Pew Research Center, with support from the John Templeton Foundation, invites researchers to submit proposals for new research publications that use one or more of the following datasets (collectively, Datasets) from the Global Religious Futures (GRF) project: Global Restrictions on Religion 2007-2022 dataset.

Orange man’s policies are detrimental to African health care systems, but they have exposed how nation states retreated from welfare sectors thanks to neoliberal polices, NGOs stepped in to fill that gap with US funding. Now that’s drained, everyone is playing ping pong over who is to blame.
“This time around, the colonisers have AI.When the West mastered gun technology, they exported their empire across the planet. The technology they have now is much more powerful.”
This week’s @thecontinent.org is a reminder that imperialist dreams never ended, they rebranded into neoliberal antics, weaved in the “global order” institutionalized in financial institutions, UN systems, and agreed upon white supremacy as a social contract until 👨man decided to go rogue.
I need people to understand that "AI" used in moderation isn't necessarily the "AI" of ChatGPT + friends or synthetic text extruding machines, or LLMs. There's stuff lumped under "AI", as the term is a marketing term, that is actually useful and important for flagging stuff on social media.
Email from Epstein to Goertzel: "free and home" Goertzel replies: ";-))) Congratulations!!!! Actually, I was just about to send you an email summarizing my recent progress, current situation, and future hypothetical plans...I'll probably do so tomorrow. I'm sure you're super-swamped, but it would be great to get together when you have the chance... ben" Goertzel continues: "p.s. Also, the Singularity Summit (futurist conference, but with some good scientific speakers this year) will be in NY this year, Oct 3-4...and Oct 5-6, afterwards, there will be a brainstorming workshop I think you might enjoy (where, basically, the ~20 speakers from the Summit will get together and try to make conceptual progress on various future-science issues). I'll remind you again when the date gets closer!"
Ben Goertzel, popularizer of the term AGI and creator of the Sophia robot, congratulating Jeffrey Epstein the day after Epstein was released from prison.
Goertzel is mentioned in the files nearly 800 times, including well after the Miami Herald investigation in 2018.
Someone said that the ongoing rebrand of right-wing influencers is not because white supremacy or even their eugenist beliefs have evolved, but rather it is a matter of aesthetics. As right-wingers are considered “weird”globally. Got me thinking, how big are aesthetics in movements?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Notice how all the self-appointed women's rights celebrities like “She who shall not be named “ are somehow quiet about the epestine files drop ? It goes to show that the concern is never women’s safety but rather their veil transphobia and exclusion of transwomen.
Indian writer Arundhati Roy says she was cancelling her planned participation in the Berlin Film Festival over comments from jury president Wim Wenders that the festival had to “stay out of politics” in response to a question on Gaza.

"Racist people are firing and laying off Black women at three times the rate of other women."
😬Yikes! It sounds bad when you say it like that!
"Black women are losing jobs at 3 times the rate."
Much better! Makes it sound like the Black women just need to be more careful or better at their jobs!
“A majority of the people have been fed this narrative that AI is doing it on its own; most of the people think like AI is magic. And I do not know why we are being invisibilized… we are completely not known, unrecognized, and completely sidelined out of the conversations.” - @joan1k.bsky.social
@timnitgebru.bsky.social tells us how “frugal AI” is actually an old concept—what’s new is the billionaire pipe dream of building a machine god. www.themaybe.org/reframing-im...
This is honestly quite hilarious to read as an African, sir! When has “human life” ever been more the organizing principle for global politics? Do you mean White life? I'm sure that Black and Brown people would disagree.
I was reading Gayle Rubin’s essay critiquing feminist “sex negative” politics in the 80’s and there was a group of feminists who called themselves the acronym WAP -Meaning Women Against Pornography.🤣🤣🤣 I am sure they must have loathed Cardi B and Megan song WAP (Wet A** P****) .
Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza.
We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?
Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

I see that Iranians are getting acquainted with the segment of the western left that believes that only massacres committed by US allies are bad.
The way they're gaslighting victims while criticizing those who were doing the same elsewhere...Exactly the same as their right-winger counterparts.
There is a piece to be written about a specific Black American celebrity culture that is rooted in an imperialist frame where Black celebrities shake hands with dictators to gain some monetary benefits whilst undermining resistance on ground. Think Kanye, Akon now streamers like Speed. Example 👇🏿
