This is absolutely horrifying and a betrayal of Boston’s children. Research points to this technology doing great damage to its users.

It’s worth pointing out this is an explicitly fascist idea. The limited franchise that Spaniards enjoyed under Franco was precisely this - one household, one vote, cast by the husband.

Happening today!!

The students are not my enemy! They tried to tell us that AI was a vector of student cheating we had to labor to get ahead of when in fact people at the top are selling out students and faculty alike (and Penn is working to clog our k12 with this shit). Kids are alright tho.

attn all the uni teachers who want to be “cool” and encourage AI use

I always love coming on @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social to talk about queerness and fascism

So, um... this is bad. Really bad. I looked at the letters that were translated by the AI, and the very first one I found was almost entirely hallucination. Thread:

Today is workshop on Queer Central Europe organized by European History Research Centre/yours truly. Opened by @schuneke.bsky.social keynote on queer women in Nazi Germany

It was a delight talking about I Will Not Abandon You at MMU this morning!

This is my first article on Soviet history relied exclusively on declassified American and British archives. It is also my first piece to be reviewed by five peer reviewers. The story of the Cold War, the KGB, and same-sex entrapment that no one has ever written about. direct.mit.edu/jcws/article...

Samuel Clowes Huneke will be in conversation about their new book that brings to life the unrelenting defiance of queer women in fascist Germany. 🗓️ 9th March 17:00 📍 Goethe-Institut Glasgow 🔗 buff.ly/dqvLYvw @goethe-institut-uk.bsky.social @schuneke.bsky.social @uoftpress.bsky.social

Excited to see that my new article "The Democratization Paradox: Ordinary Germans, Allied Occupation, and the Built Democracy of Postwar Germany" has been published! DM me if you'd like a pdf. doi.org/10.1177/0022...

I’m horrified and embarrassed and saddened by the state that I’m from. It still baffles me that Kansas is so progressive and its people are so good in so many ways and yet they still vote for the kinds of monsters who pass legislation like this.

LGBTQ+ History Month (UK) is almost over, but #queerhistory is being made all year round! 🌈📚🗃️ Here are just a few fab-looking books that will be published in the coming months by wonderful authors @grindrod.bsky.social, @schuneke.bsky.social, @tomhulme.bsky.social, @hughryan.bsky.social . . . 1/2

OpenAI ”acknowledged in its own research that LLMs will always produce hallucinations due to fundamental mathematical constraints that cannot be solved through better engineering, marking a significant admission from one of the AI industry’s leading companies.” You can’t trust chatbots.

A reminder that I’ll be hosting a virtual discussion with Akane Kanai about her book THE NEW POLITICS OF ONLINE FEMINISM in two weeks. Registration below!

Can’t wait for my swing through the UK to talk about queer women in Nazi Germany

“Melania, on the other hand — a new documentary about Melania Trump, wife of President Donald Trump — is more like Triumph of the Shill” 😂 www.empireonline.com/movies/revie...

Proofs! I’ve been working on this material for years. I’m thrilled that it’s seeing the light of day in Journal of Contemporary History. It asks what ordinary Germans made of the democratization imposed on them by the Allies, analyzing the paradox that democratization is fundamentally undemocratic.

Every time I despair that the democrats are the most incompetent, feckless center left party in the world, I remind myself that U.K. Labour exists

Every time you opt out of a democratic fundraising email, they send you two new ones.

This disturbing logic (which seems to suggest that if someone commits a crime then they deserve whatever happens to them) is, unfortunately, nothing new -- it was the exact same logic used by the postwar German government to deny reparations claims of survivors and their next of kin.

Did not realize my job made me qualified to nominate folks for the Nobel! 😳

The murder of unarmed civilians is nothing short of evil. But a single election isn’t going to clean out the rot in our system that is allowing these murders to take place with impunity.

Spotted in the wild! Register for a virtual conversation with Akane Kanai about her book THE NEW POLITICS OF ONLINE FEMINISM here: gmu.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

No, these are very serious comments. ChatGPT has absolutely no goddamn place in graduate education. It steals from other authors, routinely gets major facts wrong, hallucinates sources, and generally makes the prose flat and boring as hell. And if you shill for it in my mentions, I'll block you.

Advance reader’s copies of I WILL NOT ABANDON YOU have arrived!!! If you’re interested in reviewing it shoot me a DM.

Very excited to be hosting my friend Akane Kanai for a virtual conversation about her book THE NEW POLITICS OF ONLINE FEMINISM, coming out with Duke next month. You can register for the event here: gmu.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

The addressee of Dr. Peterson's email, Dr. Sweet, who was the conduit of these complaints. You cannot make this stuff up. The cowardice of so many academics just blows my mind. 😭 Dr Peterson, otoh, absolutely rules.

Come to Texas A&M where we’ve stamped out the woke gender ideology of *squints* Plato

What are we even doing here

I’m so pleased to see our project now in print! - the result of a beautiful collaboration with the amazing @sebboo.bsky.social

Lots of promising queer history books to look forward to in 2026. Here are just a few coming soon . . . 🌈📚🗃️ www.beacon.org/A-Black-Quee... www.bloomsbury.com/uk/queer-inh... www.dukeupress.edu/gay-print-cu... manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526165312/ utppublishing.com/doi/book/10....

Forcing AI on students will create a generation of functionally illiterate and innumerate adults.

Christmas came early! I’m blown away by the endorsements for I Will Not Abandon You. It’s a gift to have such generous colleagues.

Grades are DONE

I read American Canto and I think it’s wonderful. haha jk

Anyone who promises to actually enforce traffic laws as DC mayor gets my vote. I’m sick and tired of having to worry as a pedestrian and cyclist if some crazed driver is going to blast through a red light.

I give monthly. It's a treasure.

This has been a journey! @christopherewing.bsky.social and I are proud to announce the forthcoming publication (with Palgrave) of "Reading Queer Media in the German Speaking World" bringing together the work of brilliant historians and German studies scholars working on queer 🇦🇹🇩🇪🇨🇭 printed media
