1. Headlines everywhere today read "Grok apologizes." This is bullshit. A chatbot is not something that can apologize. Pretending otherwise is simple laundering these companies' bullshit about what AI is, while diffusing blame away from the human beings that developed and released this system.

Intro to qualitative #MetaMath work with @rachel-roca.bsky.social includes our #DisruptJMM analysis with @drew-lewis.com @nativemath.bsky.social and Stefanie Marshall. What do influencers do? Turns out there are different types - Shapers, Thought leaders, and Netweavers.

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to read an early version of the first few chapters a while back and am so excited to get my copy! Definitely looking forward to reading the whole thing and adding to my book shelf. Go order it!

This is why I design and build my own airplanes to fly on.

There’s a lot of shitty things going on and I’ve definitely been feeling it recently. Today was my third annual pride party and not only did I have a blast, but l was overwhelmed by the amount of love, joy, and support from my community. I didn’t realize how much I needed this - Happy Pride y’all 🏳️‍🌈

Title slide to whet your interests. #SaveNSF

The National Science Foundation is awarding new grants at the slowest pace in at least 35 years. The funding decreases touch virtually every area of science — extending far beyond the diversity programs that the Trump administration says it wants to cut.

THIS IS ALL CAPS DANGEROUS AS FUCK

Feeling very grateful to be working on this project with such great people!

We will not be DOGEd!!

On this #Maythe4th and every day, we at #AltGov & #AltFam hope you choose the path of the #JEDI: Justice Equity Diversity Inclusion For the way of the #SITH Supremacy Intolerance Tyranny Homogeneity is surely the path to the #DarkSide. #MaytheFourthbeWithYou on this #StarWarsDay

From a reliable source: NSF’s budget cuts will be worse than they could ever have expected, and that almost all broadening participation programs will be killed. NSF is moving everything to standard grants only, with remaining budgets to paying down the mortgage from each program. 1/5

Feliz día del libro.

NSF didn’t set “new priorities”… NSF illegally terminated grants

What a powerful and important episode! Definitely worth a lesson

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Now that one school has done this, we should expect more grants being withheld followed by more letters and demands sent to research-intensive schools. Public higher education will be impacted, especially with primary and secondary effects on our smaller state schools and two year colleges.

CERL Squirrels represent at #StandUpForScience! Always a pleasure protesting with these folks

A couple squirrels at SIGCSE last week! Equitable and ethical computing education is more important than ever. I’m very happy to have learned a ton and helped contribute to the body of knowledge.

We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

It was an REU that not only made me feel like I could go to grad school, but also shaped my research interests. It was truly life changing. This is devastating.

HOLY CRAP THIS BLEW UP. Thank you for the outpouring of support. 🥰 If you have ten minutes, please read this post: danny.hellmo.space/posts/it-is-... There's resources at the end for organizing, which we must do. #science #tech #astrosky #physicssky #reu #msu #academia #puremichigan #research
