First day of classes. Hard to believe that the summers over already, but there’s a couple classes I’m really looking forward to! Here’s to a good first semester!

And this is the level of feedback being given.
I want to kill myself.

95.7% of Jewish students surveyed in Canada say they have experienced or witnessed antisemitism in Canadian universities, with 1/5th of them saying the antisemitism came from professors, including in classes that had nothing to do with the Middle East, including math classes.
I myself have experienced antisemitism here in Canada, both witnessed- such as protests where they chanted for Jewish deaths, protests outside Jewish run businesses, anti-Jewish graffiti, and antisemitism directed at me personally by people who I'd previously called my friends.

“When a #satellite demises, it's still there in the #atmosphere in the form of small particles of #aluminum, and we don’t know what these particles actually do in the atmosphere.” Most of this destruction happens at altitudes between 60 and 80 kilometers—too high for balloons 🎈 and planes to reach, but too low for satellites to sample.

But the most interesting part, to me, was using those #hostnames with `finger` and `talk`. See a machine name listed with a domain that was clearly a university or technical school, use `finger @hostname` to see who was logged on, and then `talk username@hostname` to see if they wanted to chat.
On university machines, the users were mostly students. And lots of them were open to #chatting with some random other student in, say, Canada.
I did a lot of dialing into the #university machine I used in the evenings. And I'd look up machines at schools in Europe - mostly the Nordic countries, as they seemed to have good connections to the internet. Lots of machines at schools in Sweden (.se), Norway (.no), Finland (.fi). I remember some in Germany (.de), Denmark (.dk), Belgium (.be), the UK (.uk), and probably others. But the Nordic countries were my favourite.
Luckily for monolingual me, many students on these machines spoke English to one degree or another. Had lots of interesting chats with people studying computer science, engineering, physics, and astronomy, where those fields used a lot of computing tools.
I recall lots of discussions with those sorts of people. Sometimes I wonder if any of them were `[email protected]` or some of the other contemporary or future luminaries in #computing circles.
Anyway... to mangle an AT&T marketing slogan (apropos for Unix - and so is `apropos`), in those days, you really could "reach out and finger someone".

…The #DOJ also is investigating whether #Harvard University is allowing #Chinese donors to create scholarships that exclude #US students 🙄, adding to the barrage of federal inquiries the #Trump admin has opened in its battle against the #university.
A spokesperson for the Chinese embassy said in a statement that the country opposes what it described as the politicization of “normal #scientific, #educational, & #academic exchanges.”

The release didn’t name the schools, but a #US official … said they include #Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology [ #MIT ] & #JohnsHopkins University.
…Sarah Spreitzer, VP at the American Council on #Education, which represents #college & #university presidents, raised concerns that the announcement suggests, without any evidence, that the #schools are engaged in wrongdoing.

Have any academics out there received official emails from your senior “management” about the appalling Arday affair? I’m curious about the tone struck in the message, whether there were any hints of wider empathy beyond formulaic platitudes, any intellectual engagement/analysis of the current situation, and whether there was any suggestion for how to protect members of the university and wider community from the recurrence of such a situation. #Arday #AcademicLife #university

There are now (at least) two US institutions of higher learning that have handled campus antisemitism the right way, NYU and Haverford College.
