another day, another case of "posting objectively factual information about how something works, and other social media users getting super mad at you about said factual information because they apparently assume you are secretly In Charge of How the Military Works"

The Jewish Israeli woman who loved and was loved by Palestine’s most famous poet died this week. Their romance couldn’t survive politics, but the poetry it inspired is loved by millions. My article for @newlinesmag.bsky.social: newlinesmag.com/running-note...

In a statement to The Crimson, Summers wrote that the decision to leave was β€œdifficult” and that he remained β€œgrateful to the thousands of students and colleagues I have been privileged to teach and work with since coming to Harvard as a graduate student 50 years ago.”

β€œFree of formal responsibility, as President Emeritus and a retired professor, I look forward in time to engaging in research, analysis, and commentary on a range of global economic issues,” he added.

When academia's stars mistreat people, they're "punished" with relief from teaching, mentoring, and service responsibilities. This frees them to spend more time on the more valued work of research. And dumps less valued responsibilities onto colleagues, making it harder for them to become stars.

Stanley Tucci has a meal with the U.S. women's hockey team Stanley Tucci broke bread with the women's ice hockey team on their day off to discuss what position Tucci would play if he were a hockey player, the rivalry between the U.S. and Canada and more.

The Tucci thing, BTW, is real. www.nbcolympics.com/videos/stanl...

A small balm, but listening an observant Muslim scholar giving a talk (while fasting!) about the Moroccan Jewish diasporas of LA is really so moving.
