A succinct verdict on the persecution of the poor young academic who just died by suicide. Plagiarism is common. Persecution of the kind he endured is uncommon, aka selectively applied. The reason why he was targeted seems as clear as it is ugly.

The only conversation worth having is how Black people are overpoliced & over-punished & held to different standards in all aspects of life. That there is an outrage when Black people transgress that isn’t there when their non-Black counterparts do.

I haven’t read Robert Graves’ book on the Greek myths since I was at prep school, but re-reading it now, I am reminded of how incredibly clear & vivid his stories are. Don’t be daunted by the 800 pages-it reads like a novel.

1/ Rebecca Solnit is America's top essayist. Here she writes of principles: inclusion vs. exclusion, truth vs. lies, kindness vs. cruelty, and protection vs. destruction of systems protecting climate & public health.

Can someone explain to me like I’m five why psychologists who bang on about mental illness only being caused by social factors are so completely silent when it comes to talk about the impact of wealth inequality on mental health? Anyone? Just a few words? www.theguardian.com/news/2025/de...

About 56,000 people control three times as much wealth as half of humanity. Here’s one way to illustrate that

If you don’t believe in equality, you are unlike to call out discrimination because you will not recognise it. And if you don’t recognise inequality, you are very unlikely to stand up for those who are victims of discrimination. You may even believe they are scrounges/whiners.

Many Republican women don’t believe in equality. “Much has been made about the rebirth of gutter antisemitism and racism within the conservative movement. There’s been less public alarm about the resurgence of unapologetic misogyny.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/o...
