anti-government extremists

American extremism X

Despite all the hype, white supremacists and anti-government extremists are the main homegrown terror threat in the United States.

@hossambahgat Sadly, this is not new. The Israeli right has been pushing conspiracy theories about the left and about peace activists for years. An example of this was the 2016 NGO law which targeted progressive organisations receiving foreign funding. chronikler.com/middle-east/is…

Much excitement in the family whatsapp group this morning at the prospect of an Indian and a Pakistani bringing about the partition of Britain

@TracyQuanNYC Good initiative. It's similar to traditional practice in some Muslim societies. In Egypt, for example, there are so-called Tables of the Merciful where the poor or any passerby can break their fast free of charge.

Plot twist. Academics who wrote paper about how Artificial Intelligence is making plagiarism harder to detect... used AI to write the paper. Reviewers did not spot the hand of AI, thereby proving the researchers' point. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence theguardian.com/technology/20…

Homosexuality is incomparably more common in the animal world than prayer is, yet you don't hear bigots and fanatics demanding the banning of prayer because it's "unnatural".

20 years later, I remember every detail. The fear, hope, anxiety, the tears, laughs, and trauma. The invasion of Iraq defined me and shaped my life. The survivor’s guilt still taunts me. For @newlinesmag newlinesmag.com/first-person/…

As a species, we are empathetic enough to anthropomorphise human characteristics on to non-human machines and conceited enough to hold the anthropocentric belief that there will always be something essentially human that can't be replicated or surpassed by a machine.

London's mayor, Sadiq Khan, switched on the city's first-ever #Ramadan light display on Piccadilly Circus, and the reaction from rightwing trolls was all too predictable. No, this is not an omen of Londonistan but a sign of vibrant multiculturalism chronikler.com/travel/londoni… twitter.com/SadiqKhan/stat…
