Imagine a media outlet that deliberately deceives the public on a matter as serious as #Climatechange. @TheAustralian has been lying about #climatechange for decades; it's not stopping @readfearn is a champion at exposing @newscorp daangerous lies theguardian.com/environment/…

The BoM’s temperature record keeping is under attack – again. What’s going on? | Temperature Check

An ‘audit’ of the Bureau of Meteorology main dataset for measuring climate change claims it contains ‘widespread errors’. It doesn’t stack up

The serious reform that I would like to see is free public college
Jennifer A. Frey@jennfreyOct 22
I am going to say something that very few people want to hear, but I think it's true. The only way to "save the Humanities" is through serious gen ed reform that most universities don't want to undertake. The hour is very late.

I have a long essay in @ConversationEDU about AI and the university theconversation.com/friday-e…

Friday essay: AI is devastating higher education, but the system was already broken

AI is a project of the powerful, implemented in the name of an efficiency that has nothing to do with the good, writes Jeff Sparrow.

Romantizar la Revolución Francesa es cosa de gente que no lee y que su única referencia son Tik Toks. La Revolución Francesa fue una gran tragedia, una masacre de civiles inocentes y el reinado de la locura.

Re: tmrw, I’m thinking of Furio Jesi’s essay on Rimbaud & the child’s revolt, what is lost in “renouncing the condition of childhood & becoming part of the realm of adults—the only people who devote themselves to revolutions whose failure, from the outset, they take for granted”

Hegel reportedly attempted to plug a USB into his computer, but it was facing the wrong way so he flipped it over and tried again, but it turns out it was facing the right way the first time so he flipped it and tried to plug it in a third time and then it worked. Dialectics etc.
