My quibble is the vast majority of people are using AI to cheat, give themselves abs, or for porn, and that’s really how it‘s marketed to the general public.

Time to eat and enjoy your family. One can’t doom appropriately without rest. 😂

All the places I got my degrees from have been incredibly embarrassing this year. Welp. 🙃

It’s interesting, because DC isn’t very big, so you can play the ”close to the White House“ game by miles devoid of context.

I’m not saying they are lying, but I’m struck by how quickly people believe law enforcement that‘s become more and more compromised. Remember, when they claimed Kirk’s killer was trans? 🙃

I remember during the first Trump term, one journalist was furious that I criticized individuals that sat on stories for their books. He basically called me dumb and naive. I hope he’s doing poorly now. Sigh

Another book to add to the shelf, cite, and teach!

I’m late to the pie debate, but I chose to teach to a half empty room rather than eat pie at my son’s school. So…🤣

(Clears Throat) Every day Trump is allowed to remain president and remain a free man is a failure of multiple government institutions.

Yes, I am using my honorarium to get my PS5 because I deserve it!

Headed for another Yonkers Thanksgiving. Working on my DMX voice to fit in.

Explaining unnecessary death to me by saying “Darwin” is an automatic block. Y’all, that‘s the logic of white supremacists. Get it together.

There is no more important job for a parent than protecting their children. The rage I have for people letting their babies die from whooping cough to lean into conspiracy and stupidity. Enough already.

🚨 LSE Assistant Professor in Political Science 🚨 We’re hiring a tenure-track assistant professor - any area of empirical political science - to join our wonderful Government Dept @lsegovernment.bsky.social Any questions, please reach out to me 📣 Please share! 📣 jobs.lse.ac.uk/Vacancies/W/...

I got an early career scholar grant from APSA. Yaaaaaay!

One of the special things about class before thanksgiving is because the numbers dwindle, folks that have wanted to speak the whole year start speaking. They may not be comfortable speaking with 264 in a room but 50ish folks seems inviting. I love it.

It’s just so much money and sacrifice to go to college to let AI write your work and to learn nothing. Absolutely nothing. Idk.

I don’t know who Noah Smith is but I wish I saw less of his stupid comments. 😂

Bigotry thrives off imagination, especially of outcomes that have yet to occur.

My favorite thing as an academic is someone that says something is obvious and provides exactly 0 evidence that it’s obvious. 😂

“Trans athletes ruined women’s sports!” Says person that doesn’t watch women’s sports. A broad area btw. Which sport? 🙃

Once again, if you don’t like trans children playing sports with their friends, I’m not the person you should be following. I’m a big ole progressive. 🤷🏾‍♂️

It’s such an exhausting conversation too because the price of admission in youth sports is that your child most likely won’t be the strongest person in the game/league. Your kids are going pro in something other than sports so stop being transphobes.

There are some fandoms that I think should just admit they don’t like the IP anymore. 😂

Miles is really into Zootopia so that means he almost ready to know what dad REALLY does for work all day.

I swear some students think I don't read their papers. I read your papers! 😂🙃

This Sunday, I exposed Miles to my 90s childhood. We played Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles until we beat it. I'm a good father. 😂

I like Albany a lot and it’s weird that so many people are determined to tell me I don’t. 😂

👇🎯💯 It will take aggressive policy responses, fundamental institutional reforms, a sh*tton of public $$, & a lot of people being prosecuted & jailed for their lawless authoritarian crimes. If it takes generations, it will be the failure of government & imagination & elite accountability. Again.

I pushback on it’s going to take generations to undo whatever stupid thing Trump is doing analysis. It won’t if people (white people) decide they give a fuck about a functional government.

My wake-up call.

One thing that will drive me into becoming the Joker is giving clear directions while being asked whether I meant my clear directions. 🙃

This has been the strangest day in politics. That’s a years worth of political news in less than 24 hours.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is going to pull a Wolf of Wall Street. I believe her resignation when I see it.

I met with a writing mentor today and they gave me great advice, but also emphasized that the R&R is really good. It was nice.

Trump’s desire to be loved leads to contradictions and no real loyalties. He’s always been like this.

I hope universities decide to lower costs and make nursing is an accessible degree at all levels regardless of the bone headed moves of Trump, especially because they are perfectly capable of doing so

The president should mind being known as a fascist. Sigh

I’m meant to be in an hot environment. I’m from the desert, but I’ll just continue to freeze in Albany. 🙃

I was talking to a student about this during office hours! I told them their professors are outstanding in their field and they should take advantage of that and really learn from them. I think a lot of students at UAlbany don’t necessarily think about that.

The US Coast Guard reversing their decisions on Swastikas and nooses not being hate symbols is a small reminder that these folks are not untouchable nor can they just do whatever the hell they want, but constituents have to care.

My constant reminder to students that you’ll enjoy college a lot more if you try.

I’ve watched season 2 of Love Life far too many times because I crave smart stories on Black life and love because there are damn near none.

What you’re telling me is Duffy doesn’t want me to wear Daisy Dukes on the airplane? Well you tell him he’ll tear my exposed thigh on plane seat from my cold, dead hands, thank you very much. Maybe he should worry about so many planes falling out the sky. Do I need to wear a suit to plummet?

TGIF kept America stableish. Sigh

Trump should have never been allowed to run much less stay for a second term for as long as he has.

🤣

The best way to look at the Trump presidency is as a shiny example that white supremacy has no standards beyond rich and white.

Them breaking up the services of the DOE into different agencies is another example of the administration doing shit just to do shit. They aren’t strategic, they just enjoy the idea of doing something even when it’s not useful or helpful

I wonder how many research and teaching hours have been wasted prepping for this stupid law. www.al.com/news/2025/11...
