Same fly perhaps

@br00t4c Learning to Evaluate Sources

Are there any courses that teach home students this?

I was never taught this skill, I think.

I did teach it extensively as an EAP lecturer to non-native speakers (Chinese...) who may not be aware of the validity of certain sources in a foreign culture.

News in the age of social media is a foreign culture?

@RnDanger @aral What do you think should happen?

What would be the result?

Pull the weapons, Israel is attacked again.

Then what?

Ideally, Netanyahu has to go, yes, but he was democratically elected.

So... what now?

@RnDanger @aral you're wrong @FelisCatus

It's more complicated than we know.

@aral Kamala? she committed to ending the Gaza bombing in the speech.

And she committed to releasing hostages.

Thread read analysis on Kursk

Now that we have had a couple of days to observe the new Ukrainian cross-border attack into #kursk I wanted to offer a quick assessment of what we know, as well as Ukraine's potential objectives and the challenges it faces.

@dcjohnson Imagine if just stepping into an ambulance cost you £1000.

Imagine if not keeping up private health insurance payments because you were too ill to work meant your cancer treatment would abruptly end and you would soon die.

That happens in the US.

@ryanhoulihan are you always like this?

@ryanhoulihan just responding to a statement that came up in my feed, which is the very point.

@ryanhoulihan
People talk about sports because they want to conform to society.

For those who don't know, here's Noam Chomsky on the role of sports in 'propaganda-based authority'.

That's how to talk about sports...

How the United States Became a Leading Exporter of White Supremacist Terrorism

Right-wing parties won elections in the United States in 2016 , Brazil in 2022, the Brexit referendum in the United Kingdom in 2016 and the October 2022 killing of two people at a gay bar in Bratislava, Slovakia, by a man espousing racist and homophobic views is an example of the pernicious effects of this “made in America” ideology.
