Sheffield Hallam restricts TPS access to REF academics only
Teaching staff at post-92 institution to be employed by subsidiary firm and lose right to access expensive pensions scheme
'Teaching-only staff at Sheffield Hallam University are set to be moved into a subsidiary firm, leaving research intensive scholars the only academics still being employed directly by the institution.'
Utterly inequitable & betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of the teaching/research nexus. 1/3

Do academics here have experience migrating from Mendeley to Zotero? Mendeley (Elsevier)erased my 14 years of work in a swipe when I tried avoiding to use Mendeley Reference Manager (which would automatically give all my work for free to Elsevier)

Who speaks for Iran?—and from where? – Spectre Journal
Nazanin Shahrokni rethinks the meaning of transnational solidarity, understood as a political intervention stretched across an uneven geopolitical landscape.
Unless you are in echo chamber, yr movement spaces (like mine) are likely imploding
"Solidarity is not grounded in identical analysis, synchronized outrage, or emotional unanimity. Solidarity is disciplined commitment to remain in relation under conditions that continually threaten relation itself"

Ce matin, 10e jour du mois béni de Ramadan, le régime génocidaire sioniste et son protecteur américain ont ouvert un nouveau front contre l’Iran. Cela n’a étonné presque personne. Ces lâches ont dû attendre des mois, le temps d’acheminer les capacités militaires et logistiques nécessaires à soutenir un effort de guerre prolongé que la colonie israélienne est incapable de soutenir seule. Plus lâche encore, ils prétendent s’appuyer sur le sang du peuple iranien pour obtenir la reddition de son gouvernement, que ni les sanctions ni les bombardements n’ont pu parvenir à obtenir.
"Ce camp du génocide lancé à l’attaque de l’Iran, y compris ceux qui aujourd’hui appellent hypocritement à la "désescalade", sait qu’il est en train de mener sa lutte finale, car il est plus nu que jamais."

The Rise of the Manhattan Mega-Mansion
In the West Village and other historic neighborhoods, buyers are consolidating apartments and combining townhomes, a sign of New York’s allure to the ultra-rich.
Behind the preserved historical facades, the ultra-rich are buying up adjacent townhomes in the West Village and Upper East Side, combining them into a megamansion. It's part of a broader trend of small multifamily buildings being turned into single-family homes. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Ein früher Film von Dieter Hildebrandt. Ausgegraben in der Nachbarschaftscommunity. Was für ein Blick auf (die) Stadt. Der fehlt mir in heutigen Reportagen.

Il 28 dicembre 1943, al Poligono di Tiro di Reggio Emilia, furono fucilati per ordine della RSI reggiana, i sette Fratelli Cervi, accusati di essere nemici dell’ordine pubblico, in quanto “ribelli sediziosi e comunisti”.

Silence: in Serbia, people are still marking 16 minutes of silence, for the 16 people killed in the collapse of the Novi Sad railway station canopy in November 2024, which sparked nationwide protests. Today I stood in this one, organised by students of Mathematical High School in Belgrade. 1/3

Flights cancelled and children kept inside as polluted fog engulfs European capital
Several flights departing from Sarajevo airport were grounded
This isn't accidental. Most cities in former Yugoslavia are a toxic mix of old car engine exhaust, polluting heating, and unregulated 'development' that disrupted planned air circulation in urban zones. Europe's semi-periphery has been a death zone for years. www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-...

I mean, "tolerating" people only if you can strictly control their routes in and duration of stay, exploit them in (usually) extractive and less-paid jobs (or jobs where they are paid less than the population you designated as 'native'), then ensure you can kick them out when sick/incapacitated ➡️
