Att skriva under mot museernas nedläggning är fel väg att gå. Fråga alla partier inför riksdagsvalet hur de ställer sig till att en statlig myndighet tjänar pengar på en annan myndighet för att sedan återföra vinsten till staten. Befängt! På alla sätt. Hotar museer, universitet, kultur, ...

An in-depth investigation from France24 on how Israel is cutting down vast amounts of forestry along its de facto border with Syria while also spraying herbicides on Syrian farmland.
Screenshot reads: She and other publishing specialists question whether LeapSpace’s limited reach is worth the cost. Users will need either an institutional subscription (based in part on the institution’s size and amount of research) or an individual one, which costs $32 a month. Many libraries are already struggling to afford existing subscriptions. And if users want to read the cited content, they will need a separate subscription to that content’s publisher—akin to paying for multiple video-streaming services.
The inevitable next stage of academic publishers profiting from academics' work is here - scraping it for AI then charging subscriptions for access to the AI summaries, and then again for the citations. Academic content assetization as we called it in a recent paper. www.science.org/content/arti...

Är det tryggt att 76 människor varje dag (även lördag och söndag) nekades sjukpenning 2025?
Lagen har inte ändrats, inga regeländringar har tillkommit. Men det sker en ökning på avslagen sjukpenning med 33,12%....sjukt!!!
Sjukt grov anklagelse av mig. Är ju bara undantag. www.vilarare.se/nyheter/vi-l...
brilliant article about dispersed, displaced, lost and destroyed collections and the strange combination of emotional, affective, technical and administrative language used to describe them

I just finished a three-year term as an editor at an international relations journal. I began at the start of the LLM era but ended right in the middle of it. Our volume of submissions tripled and our desk reject rate rose to 75%. I have some thoughts.

Various headlines in which Jacob Rees-Mogg, Liz Truss, Daniel Hannan, Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage endorse Donald Trump.
The very stable geniuses of British politics should not be allowed to forget their sycophancy towards Trump.

Some professional news: I'm now hiring two postdocs to be part of the research project I'm leading on global republicanism and the making of democratic cultures in the early 19th century. If you know someone for whom this may be relevant, don't hesitate to let them know.

There is something in here about how women organizing literally everything else is fine and expected but organizing opposition to a fascist government is a problem. Like what do you think we’re all doing when we set up phone trees for the a PTA? That’s community organizing you doorknobs

Art Cure by Daisy Fancourt, professor of psychobiology and epidemiology at University College London, brings together numerous research projects confirming what we have always suspected - art is good for us. It helps us enjoy happier, healthier and longer lives. One study found that people who engaged regularly with the arts had a 31% lower risk of dying at any point during the follow-up period, even when confounding socioeconomic, demographic and health factors were taken into account. Studies also show that visiting museums and attending live music events can make people physiologically younger, and a monthly cultural activity almost halves our chances of depression. As Fancourt argues, if a drug boasted such benefits governments would be pouring billions into it. Instead, funding has been slashed across the culture sector and arts education has been devalued and eroded in the UK.

Good reading.
'How the financial problem is described is not neutral. It reflects and reinforces a particular way of understanding what a university is....If the financial situation is framed as a classic demand-and-cost problem....the obvious actions are to emphasise tight cost controls'. 1/4

After destroying every university in Gaza, Israeli occupation forces yesterday attacked Birzeit University in the occupied West Bank, firing live rounds at students and faculty. On the other side of the Wall, Israeli universities remain major recipients of EU research funding through Horizon Europe.

It is somehow fitting that on the anniversary of the Trumpist insurrection, a failed state put the former tyrant of another failed state on trial in a judicial system riddled with deliberate inequities. Happy anniversary.
