“Students use AI to write papers, professors use AI to grade them, degrees become meaningless, and tech companies make fortunes. Welcome to the death of higher education.”— Ronald Purser www.currentaffairs.org/news/ai-is-d...

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

If you can watch the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, I would. The segment is very disturbing but important to be informed about.

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

We all know Clarke's "sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" Well we have corollary:

This is one of the most important documents produced this year. At a time when many of our professional organizations are punting, @aaup.org has been leading on EdTech, AI, academic freedom & faculty governance. I'm humbled to be joining the team that authored this report.

This is profoundly disturbing

This is an important story in American military history.

I just saw the Nutcracker ballet for the first time and it was amazing. This experience makes me want to find more resources for non-experts from academics who are experts about storytelling and the different ways that we do it throughout history.

This is a good summary of many of my concerns about LLMs invading the education space. Chief among my concerns - cognitive engagement is critical for learning, but LLMs take that away, just leaving the generated product, which avoids the whole purpose of our course material and assignments

This is fantastic. I appreciate how much working professionals like these two care deeply about the important work they do.

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

The second season on A Man on the Inside has some great commentary on the state of higher education in the US. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Man_o...

These are symbols of racism, anti-semitism, and violence. There's no spin that can deny that fact. The American people and those who proudly represent us in the Coast Guard’s uniform deserve far better. This decision should be reversed immediately.

Vaccines don’t cause autism. No matter what the 🧠🪱 says.

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community. The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution. Don’t give up the ship.

Trump and Hegseth's "Department of War" rebranding is more than just a name. It signals their vision of a force that disdains legality, as if whoever commits the most war crimes wins. But as new research by @doncasler.bsky.social and @robertralston.bsky.social shows, the change is very unpopular,

A public TV and radio station in Western Alaska serves dozens of villages damaged by Typhoon Halong. But with federal funding eliminated, KYUK makes severe cuts to its staff and news department. n.pr/4qVulQV

Microsoft, Google say their data centers create thousands of jobs. Their permit filings say otherwise https://restofworld.org/2025/data-centers-jobs-microsoft-google-chile/?utm_campaign=row-social&utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=social&utm_content=1763146621

Quick point of clarification for pundits, politicians, journalists, & any others commenting on the Epstein Trump files: The victims were NOT "young women". They were CHILDREN. As such, they were not capable of giving legal consent. Sex without consent is rape. Words matter. Get them right.

The amount of light pollution Denver makes is truly disgusting!

Such an amazing commission! Thanks again for fantastic minis!!

It's surreal to see the destruction of educational institutions that taught me. We need more education, not less! Alaska governor won't fund schools: alaskapublic.org/news/2024-04... USAFA superintendent severely harming the education mission: www.denverpost.com/2025/11/10/a...

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

This week, when Mark and his wife checked their health care premiums for next year, they had quadrupled. With a history of serious medical issues, Mark’s family cannot go without health insurance & must now figure out how they can afford to pay over $17,000 more for their coverage next year. (1/2)

Americans are already being crushed by sky-high health care costs. Any increase to their monthly premiums will make insurance completely unaffordable for working families or small businesses just trying to get by.

This is absolutely unacceptable

Meet the 37 private donors for Trump’s ballroom—many of whom have ongoing governmental contracts or regulatory cases. It sure looks like their multi-million dollar donations are a way to curry favor.

A friend recently texted me the same thing. “Do you really not use ChatGPT?!” It was a sign of where we are culturally on this. People are compelled to use it but also starting to question the normalcy?

This is a wild weapons grade 'the party told us to believe what they say over what we see' gaslighting attempt here.

Obama: They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and D.E.I. For every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? D.E.I.. Wife mad at you? D.E.I..

Good summary of a terrifying tweet

One of the things that boggles my mind is the dissonance between what I was taught in Sunday school and confirmation and what we see as public policy from people who claim to be bringing "Christianity" back to governance.
