I’ve taught for nearly two decades, but this has happened for the first time!! Last day of teaching for the semester in my Layout course at Missouri S&T! 🙏🙏😊😊

Now that I’ve graduated Columbia University, it’s time to talk about the worst antisemitic attack I faced personally on campus. I was fired from the Columbia Daily Spectator for being an Orthodox Jew. It had nothing to do with my opinions on Israel. Here’s the story🧵:
I spoke to the New York Post about Qatar’s penetration of higher education as the biggest foreign donor to our universities. For those keeping score, Israel barely registers as a donor but don’t tell that to Mearsheimer and Walt. The numbers aren’t their friends. They hate data.
I’m pleased to share a podcast re my new book "Academia, Art, and Life" notebooklm.google.com/notebook/cc6d8… It is found in near-final form at mit.edu/~dimitrib/Acad… It revisits the question “Who is an artist?” and explores artistry more broadly, within academic life.
Passengers evacuated onto the runway via emergency slide after an American Airlines flight aborted its takeoff on the runway in Denver on Saturday. One person was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, officials said. abcnews.link/3Su7a1w
BREAKING NEWS 🚨 European Union lowers its flag to half mast in respect to victims of Ahmedabad crash.
That @MIT trains woke minds that fail to see the only genocidal entity in Gaza is Hamas is known. But to ignore warnings & allow the class president to deliver hateful & dividing speech with no response from President Kornbluth who followed, shows the gravity of the situation!…
In theory, there are various offices at Northeastern to address antisemitism. But I have found that in practice they’re all empty shells which do nothing to protect Jewish students or faculty.
Shani Louk 2001-2023. Murdered in cold blood by Hamas on October 7th. Don't you dare forget why Israel is at war.
I am pleased to share podcasts (<30 mins) describing two of my books: Neuro-Dynamic Programming. notebooklm.google.com/notebook/c21b0… A Course in Reinforcement Learning notebooklm.google.com/notebook/a4a87… Free PDF of both books can be found at web.mit.edu/dimitrib/www/b…
The India-Pakistan ceasefire that lasted 5 minutes. Why did Pakistan immediately break the ceasefire, the answer lies in what are Pakistan's war aims and how it hopes to accomplish them. The short answer is lying. Pakistan will push disinformation into the West to try and…
Here is irrefutable evidence that Pakistan keeps saying does not exist of its role in cross-border terrorism and the terror carnage at Pahalgam in J&K, India: Orders for Pahalgam satellite images from US firm peaked two months before attack. Maxar Technologies began receiving…
One of the main causes of contemporary wars between countries is the sponsoring of terrorism. We see this with Hamas. We see this with the Houthis. We see this with Pakistan-backed Islamist terrorists.
This is Montreal, Canada 🇨🇦, occupied by terrorists who chant "Israel is a terrorist state" and endless genocidal slogans, terrorizing the streets and Jewish people. Why is this allowed?

Finally united — daughters with their mothers and fathers. ❤️
This is how Jews looked after the Holocaust: Gaunt faces, hollow cheeks, deep despair in their eyes, spirits broken. They were like shadows, haunted by what they went through. This is what real genocide survivors look like.
Ireland's decision to join South Africa's lawsuit at the ICJ accusing Israel of genocide is absurd and shameful. Israel has been defending itself from genocidal terrorist organizations who were actually attempting a genocide on October 7th. Ireland will carry its shame forever.
