One of the more disruptive outcomes of genAI flooding the zone is the mass conflation of facility with expertise and wisdom, and the elevation of voices (including many hucksters) who have been quick to seize that opportunity.

I so appreciate this attention to what we’ve been doing with ed tech at CUNY and the notion that the higher ed ecosystem can benefit from it. Too many folks to name have been involved in those projects over the years, and it builds upon work and commitments at CUNY that goes back generations.

Hell yes, @mattseybold.bsky.social.

Thank God. #NJ

Deeply appreciate this work, tho in an environment where shared governance is all but non existent it will require faculty orgs and unions to become informed and then to forcefully assert/demand access to procurement/contracting/review. Will not be easy.

Oh sports. #sports!

Fela Kuti: Fear No Man is a remarkable piece of research and story telling. This episode, on the foundations of Fela’s politics, includes Wole Soyinka… whose visa was just revoked. open.spotify.com/episode/7ney...

@karenhao.bsky.social and John Borthwick's conversation on Empire of AI last week at @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social was really fantastic. youtu.be/4uSnJzPTHHw?...

Oof. This one hurts. Singularly talented, deeply representative of my generation, soundtrack to so much joy and exploration in my own life. Rest in Power, D'Angelo. www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2r5...

"Trump Assembles Entire Military Leadership, Declares War on Major American Cities" should be the banner headline across every news website today

PTA gave the Christmas Adventurers Club waaaaay too much credit

I learned yesterday that most people don’t know that CUNY is migrating to Workday for financial and HR operations, so sharing it here. Full university cutover: 1/1/2027. RF is going live in Workday on its own on 1/1/2026. Good luck to us all.

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

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

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.
