"USAID administrator Samantha Power arrived in Egypt alongside a delivery of 36,000 pounds of humanitarian aid for Gaza." That weighs less than 20 of the bombs US has supplied to Israel's genocidal regime, without a peep of protest from this opportunist "scholar of genocide"

Today I had to turn down 2 requests for peer review, a PhD supervision, a postdoc supervision, and an invitation for a series of MA guest lectures. All because of #precarity, with 3 months left in my contract and no job certainty in view. #PrecarityHurts #LostOpportunities

Will Italy squander its €200bn opportunity? Yes. Such outcome was so predictable that we mentioned it in our research proposal 2 years ago @TheBadProject2. Issues go well beyond the current incompetent government. ft.com/content/37f968ec-1b5d…

Me too! Ice-cream & sulking, but also love & gratitude @debbielisle
Off to get ice-cream after having my mind blown away by the effervescent Prof. Debbie Lisle who made talking about failure less mind-numbing. She said that we should sit "in the mud of failure and sulk about it" & why not. Thanks @TheBadProject2

Thank you @elipascucci for this forceful commentary which highlights the limits of critical categories such as ‘neoliberalism’ in understanding "a violence that is historically entrenched, and continues unabated" in academia.
You can read about our project & some of the issue we are tackling in this brief commentary by @elipascucci published in @fenniajournal Thank u to @HRefstie for writing such an inspiring piece! fennia.journal.fi/article/vi…

If we had more people like @debbielisle around us academia would be a better place. Brilliant, kind, generous, patient, humble, stubborn (in a good way) and overall a beautiful human-scholar who had a massive impact on how I read, think and write. IR people listen to this podcast

Project bullshit #ruleofconsultants
The reason consultants from McKinsey do this is because it pivots the conversation away from their having to suggest next steps on substantive issues they're clueless about and toward an abstract high-level strategic discussion where they can buzzword barrage you into submission.
