Shout out to @kmichael.bsky.social and @jojokarlin.bsky.social for making this happen via their @gc-dh.bsky.social course @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social

The Guardians own my Tigers, I’m bereft and salty about my team’s collapse, and all I have is this youtu.be/UQ9wHZ4E9oo?...

M Gessen’s piece rises above the cacophony and captures the moment. A must read.

I talk at length here about our approach @gctlc.bsky.social to cultivating critical AI literacies across CUNY via cuny.is/criticalai.

Necessary, direct from @jamellebouie.net. Elite bandwagon circling around this guy is grounded in his “debates” on campuses. But that wasn’t engagement. It was performance & dissembling, attempts to dominate not to convince or learn. They point more to the poverty of our politics than its ideals.

Tr?mp attends Yankee game and YES Network plays PC Richard jingle… to drown out the boos?

Surprised the word “moxie” could piss me off so much

The reaction to the murder says a million times more about why we’re where we are than the murder itself. Truth has lost the narrative.

ihatereading.com Congrats everyone.

CUNY friends, we're getting organized! The CUNY Alliance for Defending Higher Education is organizing faculty & staff to stand up to attacks and advocate for a CUNY-wide defense compact Follow us @cadhe.bsky.social and sign up on our website to support and stay informed! cadhe.commons.gc.cuny.edu

AI Fluent, and History Hostile. THE Ohio State University.

Reviewing transcripts from our last Critical AI Literacy Institute and am now going to start spelling it Chachi B.T.

💯 What distinguishes this from previous ed tech hype cycles is that social buy-in is broad and deep, and it’s hard to see systematic and informed resistance emerging from anywhere but the academy

Just attended AFT’s AI Symposium. Trying to get handle on how it’s being addressed in bargaining. Unsurprisingly, none of the speakers evidenced awareness of the critical scholarship on AI. Or any scholarship. Weingarten multiple times said “AI can now generate knowledge.” Consent: manufactured.

IT HAS A COVER! Pleased to announce that _The Campus Crisis Toolkit: Strategies and Solidarity For the Rest of Us_ is coming from @sunypress.bsky.social in Feb. With 25 chapters from over 40 contributors, the book tackles everything from anti-DEI laws to consultants and cuts to campus violence (1/2)

AAUP’s “Artificial Intelligence and Academic Professions” report suggests several paths of resistance, opposition, constraint. The time to ask questions and make demands of university procurement and contracting is now. www.aaup.org/reports-publ...

Against my better judgement, I'm watching the clowns on the House Committee on Education & Workforce question university leaders (including my own) on antisemitism www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-R8....

Every US History class, at every level, should begin with this clear, accessible, and profoundly correct piece by @unlawfulentries.bsky.social this fall…

NJ flooding: bad!

I guess Cusak thinks he can just say anything...

New Newfield, New Nomenclature: “Under fire, it’s not easy to know how to deal with *knowledge immunity* - possessed by people who are too rich, powerful, connected, or managerially entrenched to have to care about what you know that they don’t.”

There’s no plan for every student to actually “use AI in class” other than administrators creating tremendous cultural and ideological pressure on the curriculum to which faculty will now have to (chaotically and labor-intensively) respond.

My feeling about the NYT-OpenAI piece is that literally everyone at Cal State and any admin thinking about entering into a procurement process with OpenAI should be required to read @karenhao.bsky.social’s book.

Wow.

47:59.7 played…. First Pacers lead.

Holy sports. #sports!

Shai has world historical ankles.

Oops. Leopards, faces, etc...

As if I could love this radio station any more…

This picture is so good (via Pacers)

Knicks fans getting court side seats at road games are one reason why the Basketball Gods will never let them win a title. Dolan is another. Brunson’s flops are a third.

Wow

CUNY folks— this will come to us soon. Faculty, staff, and students must be involved in how it happens, and assert our agency. www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...
