I became politicized as a result of the Iraq War. Extremely depressing to just see the cycle of blood, violence, cruelty just turn and turn with no real opposition. Hard to fight for socialism in the US when its clear the US is the obstacle to dignified human life on this planet.

“I have seen war. I have seen war on land and sea. I have seen blood running from the wounded. I have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. I have seen the dead in the mud. I have seen cities destroyed. I have seen two hundred limping, exhausted men come out of line—the

Iran actually does allow girls to go to school. There was a pretty big news story about that today that you might have read about.

You're absolutely right—that was a childrens hospital!
Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome. AI safety and wide distribution of

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war. Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit

It's really striking that Israel and the US launched their attack a few hours after Oman's foreign minister claimed that Iran had agreed to almost everything the US wanted to ensure that it wouldn't develop nuclear weapons. I hope that journalists will look into this to figure
Good to sit down with Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation to explain that a peace agreement between the US and Iran is now within reach. No nuclear weapons. Not ever. Zero stockpiling. Comprehensive verification. Peacefully and permanently. Let’s support the negotiators in

This is an illegal, unprovoked and brutal attack that shows once again that the USA and Israel are rogue states. The UK must end our cosy relationship with the USA and our ongoing support for Israel.

Dear Lucy Powell, I have enjoyed our exchange of letters about which of our parties is best placed to stop Reform. Hannah Spencer MP and I trust that you agree that this question has now been resolved once and for all. Thanks, Zack Polanski
This by-election is bigger than day to day politics. It’s about stopping Reform’s toxic politics coming to my city. The Greens misleading claims, dodgy bar charts & briefings risk letting them in the back door. Only voting Labour can defeat Reform. My letter to @ZackPolanski 👇🏻

None of these people have real political beliefs. If Trump was doing what he’s doing and it was broadly popular, they’d be cheering. What he really means is “Trump isn’t holding up his end of the deal being culturally popular, like when he was elected.”
Andrew Schulz: “Trump is doing the exact opposite of everything I voted for. I want him to stop the wars, he's funding them. I want him to shrink spending, he's increasing it.”

If AI is the future, if it's so inevitable, why do you care about your pesky colleagues "raging" against it? We're apparently helpless in the face of it, easily replaced by someone willing to "prepare" students for it. So why do you need us to kneel down and lick boots with you?
Faculty raging against AI: are you just openly abdicating your responsibility to prepare students for what's coming? AI is the future. Your anger doesn't change that. It just means your students learn it from someone else--or don't learn it at all. Enrollments will respond.
