I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

me at the end of class: here's a little speculative exercises; imagine you wake up from cryosleep in 2085. what's the kind of tech-society r/ship you'd like to see around you? students: no AI I honestly think students' views are missing from the 'should AI be integrated in classrooms' discussion

be kind. you never know whose kid woke up at 5 and hasn’t stopped talking since

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

People keep telling me how their AI assistants help them get more work done and I just don't understand why my goal should be to do the work of two people when I'm only getting paid the salary of one.

I say "no" a lot so maybe I need more than this paper clip, but we can start there. #AcademicSky

My latest. "Do not allow your values to be captured and contained behind a screen in a cycle of inactive reaction. Jailbreak your cynicism and isolation, and escape your devices. Bring your hope, rage, and potential into the world."

"But when the team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20% slower when using AI than when working without it. Researchers were stunned. “No one expected that outcome. We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.” 🎁link

#academicsky I admit, I did not know that Canvas was related to Amazon. And now Amazon services are down and no students/faculty can access Canvas. Break up big tech. Break up monopolies. #NoKings

I assumed that because I loved being a middle school teacher, I would enjoy my kids even more when they became middle schoolers. And I've never been so wrong about anything in my entire life. #parenting

I was with a panel of people who were all making good arguments about why AI will never replace this or that skill or job, so maybe we'll be okay, and I finally said to one teacher: "you can just say no. you don't have to use it. it steals from people and teaches no skills. it's not a good tool."

We really should have had the day off to honor D'Angelo and just rest in his music.

Best I've read on D'Angelo so far, thanks to Ashon Crawley....

Not sure if I have a favorite D'Angelo song, but this one has always been top tier for me. youtube.com/watch?v=h3y2...

1)You may remember the articles criticizing liberal students for their hesitancy to make friends with conservative students—alleging that they were less open-minded than their conservative counterparts.

Learning that if you wait long enough, some other over-achiever will respond to that group email asking you to do what can only be described as "the most."

Gonna leave this here. Someone is trying to incite us to get into the streets. Don't fall for it. Verify EVERYTHING before you move. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_r9r...

Yes, identified by my 3rd grade teacher who was my first Black teacher. Which reminds me: we need more Black teachers.

They’ve roughed up and arrested people for trying to get in ICE’s way. That’s more than complicity. The state of IL is not resisting, it is culpable.

IF ANY CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY SIGNS THIS RADICAL AGREEMENT, THEY'LL LOSE BILLIONS IN STATE FUNDING — INCLUDING CAL GRANTS — INSTANTLY. CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BANKROLL SCHOOLS THAT SELL OUT THEIR STUDENTS, PROFESSORS, RESEARCHERS, AND SURRENDER ACADEMIC FREEDOM.

Matthew 15:29-31: And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them after verifying their citizenship status.

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

NEW REPORT from Forbes has revealed the Trump family has doubled its fortune—to a total of about $10 billion. For Donald Trump, his White House comeback has been “the most lucrative year of his life,” with POTUS raking in $3 billion, two-thirds of which came from cryptocurrency. trib.al/U2Sm4vo

Just a quick note to fellow #AcademicSky users that Academia.edu has just updated its ToS in ways that exploit the work and likenesses of scholars registered on the site. I've deleted my profile and begun a migration to hcommons.org. www.academia.edu/terms

This is bad…like really bad!!!

The Supreme Court just ruled this meme is constitutional.

This woman saw ICE was part of a road block so she went down the road and stood in the middle of it telling every single car it was ICE and to turnaround. One man said “Yeah I’m Black” to which she said “Right well it’s ICE so hit the u”. ICE is after everyone now and everyone better realize it. /

Btw here’s that epic moment the churches all came together and began ringing their bells as loud as possible for the protesters in DC. More profound than car horns. These are not the average recorded chimes we usually hear. They laid on them heavy for the people.

The problem with Monday holidays is that the rest of the week still comes at you as if you worked all day on Monday. #AcademicSky #LaborDay

Younger me wanted to be a choreographer. I had no idea what a PhD was and I never imagined I'd become a professor. Getting here was a process.

My very first paid job was teaching dance/ creative movement for an elementary after-school program.

Judge Sooknanan and her team have been working for almost 22 hours straight now. I imagine they will stay up till the last child has been returned (2 more hrs?). That puts them at 24 hours straight defending the rule of law & protecting the children. #DOJ #ICE

New interview! On Trump, all the terrible things happening, and the institutional complicity that made it possible: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CaI...

This Thunderbolts trailer didn't excite me at all... is it worth 2 hours out of my Labor Day weekend? #MCU

Omg, yes that's horrifyingly irresponsible. That's like saying "go ahead and call the cops on that Black person" or "call ICE about that Latino". Everything about CPS, family court, etc, can go horribly, horribly wrong for the people involved.

Yes, this is insane. Calling child protective services is not the move.

I started taking pictures of the creatures that share land with me. I'm not too fond of this one, though.

My doctoral students are looking for resources (professional orgs, student groups, preferably social sciences) beyond just what we offer at our school to support them with writing. Any suggestions, #AcademicSky?

we're going to win

A fantastic thread on the terrorist attack on CDC. 👇
