#academics — Public Fediverse posts

It's the first strike of #drones that involved directly western officials who support the continuation of the proxy war in #Ukraine. It was a train with a bunch of western officials who support the endless continuation of the war in Ukraine and its expansion.

"It was also carrying Günter Sautter, one of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's closest foreign and security-policy advisers, as well as security advisers from #Britain, F#rance and #Italy, #German MPs, #diplomats and #academics.

Robin Wagener, a Green Party member of the German Bundestag was also aboard the special train.

Mr Johnson and the other officials had been in #Kyiv for the 2026 annual meeting of the Yalta European Strategy, an international security conference where Western officials held discussions with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy."

Still a strange incident in the way it has been presented by the english speaking media. There was an attack, thanks without victims, where there was warning... And was not the train of the officials that got hit by the strike...

"Former Swedish prime minister Carl Bildt, who was also on board, said passengers on the train received an evacuation warning.

But it is not clear if anyone had to leave the train before it then escaped across the border to Nato territory in Poland.

He revealed that it was the train immediately behind them that was hit by the Russian drone.

'This wasn't our train [that was hit], but the one just minutes after us by the [Polish] border crossing,' said Mr Bildt."

(The source itself is problematic - with most details though) https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16127805/Boris-Johnson-survives-Russian-drone-strike.html

If someone has more details to clear the picture, which remains extremely blur, I would be happy to receive it.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 📝📊 The #SAT was first administered to 8,000 students in June 1926, born from #WorldWarI #military I.Q. tests designed by #Princeton psychologist and eugenicist Carl Brigham.

Now taken by two million #students annually, fewer than 10% of U.S. #colleges require it for fall 2026 admissions, a shift accelerated by the #Covid #pandemic and long standing debates about what the test actually measures. The article traces the test’s #evolution from a tool that helped break into the old boys’ network of elite colleges to an #exam whose scores strongly correlate with family #income.

Smart Phone Bans in schools failed to positively impact academic outcomes based on research published by the National Bureau of Economic Research.

Strict phone bans resulted in a meaningful decline in student cellphone us - duh! But test scores have not increased on average, and at first, banning phones led to higher suspension rates.

The research included more than 40,000 schools between 2019 and 2026. Over time, students in schools with strict bans reported a greater sense of personal well-being, however, the bans did not improve student attendance or perceptions of online bullying. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/04/us/did-school-cellphone-bans-study.html #SmartPhones #PhoneBans #Mobility #Students #Academics #CellPhone #Disicpline #Suspensions #OnlineBullying #SocialMedia

👉It is highly important to see the restart of the student-loan repayments move in a historical-political context.👈

It has been a central #Reagonomics policy (see linked central thread.)

It is the counterpart of "keep them barefoot and in the kitchen" for #Academics.

Hi #Academics,

When you read a paper in your field and disagree with something that the authors did (e.g. interpret results incorrectly) or did not do (e.g. not cite an extremely relevant paper), how do you usually react:

🔴 Putting Phoenicia on the Map. From the Greeks to Ernest Renan’s Mission

"This imaginary Phoenicia entered historiography and
cartography as a reality, not only in France but also in the
Ottoman Realm, then the sovereign entity over the Levant.
The toponym was used, anachronistically, for Biblical
maps to refer to the Sidonians and the Tyrians of the Ancient Testament. Already, in the popular Van Dyck-Smith Arabic translation of the Bible, the versions illustrated with maps showed a “Phoenicia” in the time of David and Solomon."

“The extent to which the worship of Baal and Asherah affected Israel’s understanding of Yahweh is seen in the inscriptions found at Kuntillet Ajrud. Jezebel was not fully responsible for the ongoing worship of Canaanite deities in Israel and Judah but her reign gave legitimacy to the long held tendency.”
