This is a terrible story--both because of the trap that was set (either in advance or ret-conned to seize a moment) for this graduate student but also because the student's department failed her. The 1st problem is easy to see, but I want to explain the 2nd one. 1/x

Took some advice from @sarahkendzior.bsky.social book The Last American Roadtrip. On our own family roadtrip and stopped at the Cadillac Ranch.

“Meta shut down internal research into the mental health effects of Facebook after finding causal evidence that its products harmed users’ mental health, according to unredacted filings in a lawsuit by U.S. school districts against Meta and other social media platforms.”

Few things bug me more than higher ed leaders saying that we lost our mission and lost the trust of the public, when we have actually been the target of a decades-long smear campaign by the right wing that worked. The moment we’re losing our mission is right now, in capitulation.

I am sorry, but the first party to take up the banner of anti-corruption and accountability is going to have a hell of an easy time making its case and I honestly don't know why an opposition party isn't doing that already from every streetcorner they can.

Hello @support.bsky.team I heard from Sarah Kendzior @sarahkendzior.bsky.social that her account was suspended. Can you please look into this and reinstate her account? She’s a published author and scholar on authoritarianism. Her presence here is valuable. cc: @jay.bsky.team @aaron.bsky.team

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run. We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader. If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels. The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

The absolute collapse of their stupid AI ruse — hopefully followed by a massive wave of tech regulation and imprisoning the politicians who enabled this — cannot come soon enough.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Sneaky bastards

Missouri Republicans approved a new congressional map last month as part of a national GOP push to keep control of the U.S. House. But a potential referendum could block the plan to unseat Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver — even if voters back the map.

I'm halfway through this article and I have two questions that are not a critique of the article. The first: why don't we openly talk about these kinds of approaches as what they actually are - experimenting on children with little oversight and the potential to cause real lasting harm?

Reason #13253637 that Ai nonsense doesn't belong in schools or a free society. "An artificial intelligence system (AI) apparently mistook a high school student’s bag of Doritos for a firearm and called local police to tell them the pupil was armed." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Great day to show what you believe in. Speak your truth. Show you are prepared to fight against authoritarian rule. If you’re marching, having a teach-in,organizing, or resting for future battles, do it with the conviction that we will not give in, that we stand on the side of justice.And stay safe.

Wake up, boo. Craig Enders just dropped a bunch of new, free material and software on how to manage missing data. www.appliedmissingdata.com/ies-toolkit #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

Emily Tucker argues that the AI regulation debate largely misses the point: the real threat to democracy is the unchecked data extraction and accumulation that is fueling corporate power. “We can have mass surveillance, or we can have political self-determination. We can’t have both,” she writes.

I have a not-so-creative theory that this is a defining feature of what many see as "good leadership" in higher ed right now: "Mizzou is faring very well so far during the second Trump administration... That’s because Choi is good at staying out of trouble." www.chronicle.com/article/mun-...

It's the blog hailed in Slack as "the ideal defector post" but also "i don’t think it’s possible for a blog to be more Scocca than this one is"

Every good programmer I know has been saying this to me for months; meanwhile every not-great programmer I know has been trying to outsource their work to ai, causing more issues/delays than they if did it themselves. A lot of these tools only seem good to people who are not great at their jobs.

We need to kick corporate Dems to the curb. Like, really, really fast.

I’m working on a column about faculty motivation in the current landscape where -new jobs can be scarce -academic publishing is messy -grants are being axed -merit pay is spotty If you have perspective and experience you’d care to share, please let me know. (1/2)

My latest column for the Chronicle of Higher Ed is now live. It's an argument for including AI-critical voices in campus conversations and policymaking workgroups, and I'm proud to get this dissenting piece into the mainstream genAI/higher ed discourse. Please read and share if you're so inclined 🙂

BREAKING: Missouri senators send a redrawn congressional map to Gov. Mike Kehoe that seeks to oust @cleaver.house.gov. But a group called People Not Politicians says they will gather signatures to put the map up for a statewide vote. They'll need more than 100K signatures in a 90 day time period:

If you're interested in GenAI in education, or you're making decisions about it, you really need to read this piece by @olivia.science, @irisvanrooij.bsky.social, & others - right now. They strongly argue against GenAI's insertion in education. I'll admit... #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

A friend from Facilities brought this hat by for me that he made. It’s a sharp looking hat and a really kind gesture. While I do miss working from home, going to the office does have its perks sometimes.

Ashanty is my student, and this is her first-ever professional assignment! She’s a ridiculously smart thinker and writer — read her on AI in school instead of all the adults pontificating. 🤗

New by me, as we launch this new academic year.

Can I tell you about a little project that took six years from proposal stage to release? Community of Praxis is a fully peer-reviewed scholarly podcast about teaching and learning. It’s also (I think) fun, accessible, and a little bit radical in its focus on care. It’s out today!

Happy Reply-All Apocalypse Day to those from Mizzou who celebrate. On August 28, 2018 a phishing scam provoked thousands and thousands of "Reply-All"emails to be repeatedly sent to staff, faculty, and students at the Uni of Missouri. It was hilarious.🤣 www.columbiamissourian.com/news/higher_...
