That’s what they want for the 2026 elections. They need that narrative to stretch into next year to win. I mean . . . I assume. Not that it makes it better lol not they they will win.

There’s a nice little place that still develops film. The guy has been doing it for like 60 years. Hope he’s doing well

In tonight’s breaking news, some people are realizing that maybe the United States hasn’t been great for 250 years

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

I have nothing against my colleague. He’s great. My point: this is the first time I’ve heard someone suggest using AI to get work done and I had visceral disagreement. I’m like “huh. I think I have specific standards for AI use.”

Another example from meeting. AI Champion Colleague suggests throwing three existing surveys into ChatGPT and let it make a new survey. Me: Look I just wrote five questions based on our conversation.

I know the difference between myself and someone who hypes AI. In a meeting about AI and academic experience on my campus, a colleague said we could use Zoom’s AI companion to do notes because he can be present in the convo. My thought: Taking notes is being present?

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

Lolol he should know better: those counties voted for Trump last year and now they didn’t vote for his party. Buyer’s remorse or cringe voting? Either way—not looking good.

PA Supreme Court retains its 5-2 democratic majority! HELL FUCKIN YEAH!

LMAO. “I’m sorry I’ve just been so busy.” 🤣

What a night!

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

It’s done! Dems flipped the legislature! First time in 50 years!! www.syracuse.com/politics/cny...

Today would be a good day to fund the ACA and end the GOP shutdown.

All these big headline grabbing wins are great but also my friend and neighbor took 65% of the vote against the maga incumbent (of almost 20 years) in our city council election. It's top to bottom, guys. People are mad at Republicans. Feel free to redistrict OH, it's not gonna help.

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

A clear message

I'm so glad to have gotten the chance to help draft this statement with @mkirschenbaum.bsky.social @leoflores.bsky.social @hollyjhassel.bsky.social @writesantonio.bsky.social, Liz Losh, Sarah Johnson, David Green, Angela Gibson, and Anatole Shukla. Here's Matt's thread: bsky.app/profile/mkir... 6/6

Very proud to have worked on this statement of the Modern Language Association with @annamillsoer.bsky.social and other colleagues on the MLA’s task force on AI in Research and Teaching. It is a direct call for faculty input into Ed Tech decision-making, especially AI: www.mla.org/Resources/Ad... 🧵

Yall need to stop drinking from that Nazi well.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Offering free coffee is the least the DMV could do for people waiting for their number to be called.

Should’ve gone to bed last night instead of just staying up late searching for the perfect customizable travel notebook online

Un. Real. Lol

Can’t even feed your own people.

Last week Canvas was down; tonight OneDrive is down. I’m starting to not trust cloud services and will invest in physical storage devices. I have important data saved in the cloud and luckily the desktop app works so I downloaded the data to my computers. Too risky 😒

This man hears nothing. Sees nothing. Just heard about something two minutes before the press conference. Hasn’t seen the details. Has been too busy to hear, see, or look into details. Can’t comment on anything. Can you imagine if I walked into the classroom and just didn’t know anything? Fired.

I can’t unsee it.

Could’ve had a fun story to tell

Lmao what (from today's Breaker newsletter)

Soooo starve them and then freeze them? Jesus. time.com/7329055/ener...

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

My MFA students find no creative use with AI.

"Legal language, such as 'proportionality,' 'necessity' and 'defensive' has shifted from limiting violence to legitimizing it. These are not isolated cases. They reflect a ... pattern in which international law is used to rebrand imperial violence as lawful action." opiniojuris.org/2025/10/23/e...

At the point in this moment where I say to myself, “I’m in an Octavia Butler novel.”

Who the fuck is this dude who rolled in saying what women researchers have been saying for years? He came on my thread here once to tell me I was wrong about something — I wasn’t. I responded, he said nothing, and disappeared. @alexhanna.bsky.social @safiyanoble.bsky.social

I’ve also been struck by the bubble metaphor and its suggestion all AI ends when it bursts. The internet continued after the dot com bubble. In fact Amazon thrived in the wake of that burst. Rather than responding to the AI we have now on campus, how do we respond to AI after the bubble bursts?

Phew! This country is a disaster lol

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages
