Man, I'm sorry, but reading all these AI generated essays from students, it just sucks all the joy out of everything. It's exhausting, makes you into a weird paranoid cop, grinds you down, wastes your time, makes you feel like shit about everything. Fuck this shit technology and all its enablers.

A timely reminder to support Wikipedia if you can

Trump to a room full of generals: „If you want to leave the room, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future." (Cue the „it was a joke“ „they laughed“ downplaying of the open display of fascism)

It is bad that Trump wants to use American soldiers against their fellow Americans. And it is also bad that Trump wants foreign powers to exploit his unnecessarily, artificial, and pre-scripted civil war.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

I’m ready…!

Great news! JSTOR now have a free account with an Independent Researcher category. You can access 100 documents per month www.jstor.org/action/showL...

I will leave this here because it happened! On camera!

Worauf man sich bei der US-Regierung verlassen kann: jeder Tag bringt mindestens 1 neue wahnwitzige Initiative in der Bildungs- und Wissenschaftspolitik

There it is. Yet again.

Just in case you were wondering, this is what it sounds like when a country decides to side with evil and to deliberately commit acts of cruelty against the innocent.

So we’re good with piracy now?

Wenn man die Arbeitszeit erhöht und parallel die Pflegestufe 1 streichen will, ist das Ziel übrigens recht offensichtlich, dass Frauen wieder in traditionelle Rollenverhältnisse gedrängt werden sollen.

Es ist halb 8 und es ist dunkel. Ich möchte das nicht. 😢 und dann jetzt auch bald noch die Uhrumstellung auf Winterzeit. Ich wäre ja wenn Uhrumstellung für eine Stunde vor, weil dann länger hell 😁

Texas Tech Uni schreibt Dozent*innen vor, wie sie über Gender lehren müssen. Das ist das Ende der Wissenschaftsfreiheit und damit auch das Ende der Wissenschaft Die Deutsche Physik war auch keine Wissenschaft 👉In Dtl wollen das auch manche www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...

Not sure if this has already been brought up but the "controversial" @anntelnaes.bsky.social cartoon that the Washington Post refused to publish back in the day has proven to be more than accurate after the whole Jimmy Kimmel thing. Just saying.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Fast pünktlich. 5 Minuten Verspätung. Aber das ist ja quasi wie pünktlich sein. . . . Herrlichst! Bitte weiter so.

Trump's UN speech was his most embarrassing showing since the "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL" one

Oh really?!

Kinders, ich trau mich jetzt was (also anzukündigen): noch 50 Minuten bis zur Ankunft (laut Fahrplan), und wir sind (immer noch!) pünktlich. 🙋🏻‍♀️ . . . . . Ich gestehe, ich bin etwas verwirrt, nervös, irritiert.

Wait, did we survive the rapture? Or is it later today? Or did I get left behind... "taps mic" is this thing on 🥴

Wer hier Krokodilstränen wegen Julia Ruhs weint, aber zum buchstäblichen Ende der Pressefreiheit in den USA schweigt, den interessiert nicht Pressefreiheit, sondern dass die Rechten auch hierzulande das sagen bekommen. Lasst euch nicht auf deren Spielchen ein.

Ich kann das bestätigen ⬇️ sonntägliche Grüße aus dem Zug 🫶🏻 . . . Natürlich mit 60 Minuten Verspätung 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm in the process of downloading analytics and cancelling my membership. For anyone interested in alternatives, I recommend Zenodo.org which is owned by the European Commission. hcommons.org is good but it's US based, and may not remain safe from the extraordinary overreach of the current US govt

Events on Earth getting on your nerves this month? @nsousanis.bsky.social offers some more distant bodies of evidence worth contemplating. 🔭

Why is this horrible for Universities? Just about everyone who isn't a citizen or green card holder already who's hired for a tenure track faculty position is hired through an H1B and then, after 3-5 years, applies for a green card. This is literally "No more foreign professors can be hired"

I've often wondered how long I *could* have stayed in the US with my family if we had chosen to continue living in Florida. That question is now settled. I was there on an H1B, I do not have $100K available. From Sunday on, my family and I would have been stranded in a hostile country.

Go fash, lose cash

So wie heute könnte es gerne noch 2-3 Wochen, ach was sag ich, Monate bleiben 😊 . . . . . Na gut, bis zum nächsten Frühling. . . . (I’ll show myself out)

Just deleted my account there. And so should you. . . . (Trying to remember my hcommons login password).

I'm sorry, worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable permission to my voice and likeness? For what now? In any manner for any purpose??? This is in academia/.edu's new ToS, which you're prompted to agree to on login. Anyway I'll be jumping ship. You can find my stuff at hcommons.org.

Admittedly, I put a lot of effort into crafting my page on the platform. Since the AI crap started, I wanted to migrate my content properly, which again takes a lot of effort... I didn't do it and deleted the account immediately. I will have to rebuild from scratch elsewhere (and so should you).

Horrendous and absurd new Terms of Service is causing people to terminate their use of #Academia What are people using instead? I'd be sad to lose contact with my c. 6K followers. leeds.academia.edu/DrIanMcCormick #Highered #Edchat #University #research Highlighted by @nposegay.bsky.social
