petersuberThe International Congress of Mathematicians (#ICM) decided not to meet in #Russia in 2022, for a list of reasons including Russa's "war of aggression in #Ukraine and the potential dangers…in regards to freedom of political expression and the safety of #LGBTQ participants." Now some ICM members have launched a petition asking it not to meet in the US in 2026, for a list of reasons including US aggression in #Gaza, #Greenland, #Iran, and #Venezuela, and "serious concern that academics (or anyone) traveling to the US may be denied entry."

I am sure Alan Turing would agree to no Russian conference due to “ …potential dangers…in regards to freedom of political expression and the safety of LGBTQ participants."

s1m0n4@petersuber why are they using Google Docs?
thief_of_fire@s1m0n4 OP didn't create the document they're sharing and reporting on dumbass. If you're going to be insufferably tiresome then at least be discerning too
@thief_of_fire and that's why I used the pronoun "they" instead of "you".
English must be insufferably tiresome too!

Sorry that person was rude to you w/o reason. One more person outing themselves as blockworthy...
Sneezymove it to the global south/east where such a conference will do far more good than doing it in Europe
hold it in Africa
hold it in Iran (which had a Fields medalist)
hold it in Bangladesh
holding in Europe would be so disappointing
