Ok, explosives on the roof of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is making me really nervous.
Now we have information from our intelligence that the Russian military has placed objects resembling explosives on the roof of several power units of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. Perhaps to simulate an attack on the plant. Perhaps they have some other scenario. But in any case, the world sees – can't but see – that the only source of danger to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is Russia and no one else. Unfortunately, there was no timely and large-scale response to the terrorist attack on the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant. And this may incite the Kremlin to commit new evil. It is the responsibility of everyone in the world to stop it, no one can stand aside, as radiation affects everyone.
Exxon isn't even trying to stop climate change. Even compared to other oil giants, they look bad. Boycott!

Sounds like a case of harassment.
This is so messed up. As university faculty, your classroom should be open to all qualified students at your institution. I can’t imagine ever writing an email like this. (Relevant here that Harvard+MIT have liberal cross-reg).
Sorry you’ve been subject to this, @so_radhikal

On a snowy afternoon in Moscow last week, a trickle of people entered a vast hall under the Kremlin walls, past riot police, to see a v unusual new show: an exhibition on Ukraine.

An ad for Russians traveling to the US. Beware. Gay people! Eeeek. Even worse, vegetarians! The scariest thing, though, is that the Russian traveler appears to relish eating gray, airplane food.
