Thinking of applying for #BASS26 by @crest-research.bsky.social. Did someone in my network attend this conference in the past?

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

China intimidated UK university to ditch human rights research, documents show Sheffield Hallam University apologises to Professor Laura Murphy for restricting her academic freedom.

This is a remarkable case of Chinese authorities threatening a UK university into halting research on human rights violations, and the university acquiescing.

Don’t celebrate political violence, even if you disagree with the politics.

Just finished the new Netflix documentary on the 7/7 and 21/7 terrorist attacks in London and im quite disappointed. 4 episodes with not much depth. Only Abu Hamza was bamed as reason behind the attack...glad i read @raffpantucci's book before watching the documentary.

„The FBI arrested Jian in connection with allegations related to Jian’s and Liu’s smuggling into America a fungus called Fusarium graminearum, which scientific literature classifies as a potential agroterrorism weapon.“

Finished painting my first character model! Love how i can relax painting while listening to The Horus Heresy audio books. #waaaagh #WarhammerCommunity

Let's go with this year's #MOTRAK25 in Wiesbaden. Two days of extremism reseach and discussions on new trends. @motra.bsky.social

Sometimes being interested in politics is difficult, especially in times like these....so i found a new hobby and since I'm a big boy with big boy money it's #warhammer40k #waaagh

What's happening in the world right now....I'm so tired of politics and the current election campaign in Germany...

I can't wrap my head around how people defend Musk showing the Hitlergruß. He saluted twice before he briefly added that he gave his heart to everyone. If Musk is as intelligent as they say, then this was a deliberate move and no outburst of emotions.

Der mutmaßliche Attentäter von #Magdeburg ist wohl alles andere als ein Islamist, im Netz finden sich zahlreiche sehr wirre Äußerungen. Er sieht sich offenbar als saudischer Dissident und Apostat. Und fürchtete wohl die Islamisierung Deutschlands. ⬇️

Anschlag auf Weihnachtsmarkt in #Magdeburg: Der Tatverdächtige war als politischer Flüchtling anerkannt, der sich vom Islam losgesagt und dem saudi-arabischen Königshaus abgewandt hat. Er gilt als Dissident. In Sachsen-Anhalt arbeitete er als Arzt.

According to media reports of a statement by @reinerhaseloff the arrested #Magdeburg perpetrator is a 50yo male Saudi Arabian citizen, living in Germany since 2006 and was working as a physician.
No information on a political background of the attack.

Car-ramming attack on christmas market in #Magdeburg. Perpetrator apparently in custody. No confirmed number of casualties yet, also still unclear if there is any political background.

Follow @Polizei_MD for reliable information. Don't share any videos or pictures of the attack!

Friends recommended me #ChatGPT after I got stuck with my r code and it's really helpful. Now I'm asking myself, if that is the only non-fraudulent way of using it for academic work. How do you use #ChatGPT to support your research? #AcademicBlueSky

I'm happy that I could present the work of @sofiako.bsky.social @carlottasallach.bsky.social and me at this years Illicit Networks Workshop in Leiden 🇳🇱 with the ongoing situation in Syria, it's important to talk about (female)networks in ISIS to understand them and increase accountability! #INW2024

Our little working group on female returnees from ISIS is at this year's @NetworkIllicit conference in Leiden 🇳🇱 I'll present the current work of @sofiako.bsky.social, @carlottasallach.bsky.social and me on the multiplexity of a German (female) jihadi network #INW2024

Congratulations 🥳

Let's start the upcoming week with some cute cat pics. Let me introduce Abu!

Is there already a starter kit for researchers working on illicit networks?

Hello! I thought a list of women scholars in conflict and security studies could be helpful! Let me know if you want to be added/removed! go.bsky.app/Np3NivX

You should definitely add my colleagues @carlottasallach.bsky.social and @sofiako.bsky.social!

My European mind can't comprehend why Americans wear clothes in the sauna

Bluesky academics, let's get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren't working on but keep thinking about.
Here are mine:
1) how do female German jihadi networks in Syria work
2) why did Netflix cancel Mindhunter after two seasons...
