The politics here are reprehensible but also really sad. He was a great scholar once. He had philological skills that no one has anymore. There are very few people who could produce that kind of work today. And to some extent, that's what this is about. He's mad that our field lost its former status

NARRATOR: The War Powers Resolution does not let Trump do this

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

Is AI a good thing?

One of them, a 4-year-old boy who has cancer, was flown to Honduras without medication.

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda. Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them. I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

Please, if you love anything about this life, stop using ChatGPT and other GenAI. Just stop. Don't use it to dunk on it, don't use it for a laugh, just stop and let that shit wither.

Another day wasted when university presidents & chancellors could have been in front of microphones. The total lack of loud public collective action condemning this & explaining to Americans why this is a complete disaster is utterly maddening. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

my offer to america: we bring woke back

Ruth Ben-Ghiat: "The speed and scale of what's happening in this country doesn't have a parallel even in the early months of the autocrats we know and do not love today ... this is somebody in partnership with Putin."

Just a legal historian here reminding everyone that “high crimes and misdemeanors” do not need to be felonies. They can include political abuses and stupidity, like, hypothetically, destroying the economy and wiping out people’s savings in 3 days.

And note that last fall the Naval Academy also canceled @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social who was invited to give the presitigious Bancroft Lectures there due to pressure from Republican members of Congress. So it's been in the crosshairs. pen.org/press-releas...

For any of you who liked the piece I co-wrote with @sonjadrimmer.bsky.social on why we're not using AI in the classroom, consider that the "shot." Here is the "chaser."
