He made a fool of himself just to be fired anyway. How many times are institutions going to do this?

This, the fruit of a week’s abject institutional submission to horseshit hagiography, is about ten times the number of specific anecdotes of Republicans being purged from academia that TPUSA fans have ever mustered

The brilliant Zukiswa Wanner is fundraising for a project that translates books written in African languages into English. The first book will be an isiZulu book; each one needs $5,000 to pay for the process. They've raised $1,300 and need your support! ko-fi.com/post/Announc...

.001 milliseconds after it dawns on me that I’ve been ignoring/supporting a genocide: most important thing now is no scolding about this

Tom Lehrer - Send The Marines

Bari’s key insight as an entrepreneur is that there is a bottomless demand for rich people to have their existing opinions sold back to them as forbidden knowledge

Support trans journalists, because ain't no way the cis corporate media are going to tell our stories.

Philip K Dick knew a thing or two about the USA when he wrote Man in the High Castle…

Huge LOL at this basket of deplorables arguing the Elgin marbles should stay put — a motley crew of cunty English lords and ladies plus Sargon of bloody Akkad 😂😂😂

Elon put Grok on timeout 😆

"The fact that this story engendered all the conversation and debate that it has feels like all the evidence you need that this was a legit line of reporting” is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. People criticized your work, therefore it was good?

His name, @nytimes.com is Jordan Lasker, and you probably know him since he was at the Eugenics Conference you and every other mainstream outlet provided fawning coverage over

Yesterday I used this "AI -Free Statement" in a conference talk for the first time. Still trying to figure out the exact language. Feel free to borrow, modify, etc.

anyone who's gonna go "it sucks but you gotta win over people first, slowly build the case for rights" for trans people should tell me, without looking it up, when they think interracial marriage reached majority approval in america

Congratulations! This volume is eagerly awaited 😄

The Guardian, yet again, failing to understand the first thing about right-wing metapolitics www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Pretty egregious error from this book: The authors say Swedish deaths fell by 2.3% during the pandemic, proving that the country's lax lockdown strategy worked. But they misread their source: Mortality is only down if you remove the COVID deaths. research.abo.fi/ws/portalfil...

CHatGPT produces word vomit, nonsensical bullshit that reads like a fever dream but without the charm, like a bad trip on paper but without heart or levity. It's nonsense in the form of reason, but it is still nonsense. It doesn't "do a college level course better than a student."

Sharing on behalf of my @cunygcsociology.bsky.social friend/colleague Ruth Milkman who isn't on social media. Here's her statement re a problematic censoring of an obituary for Michael Burawoy to appear in ASA Footnotes #soctwitter #socsky #sociology docs.google.com/document/d/1...

this is not true either legally or in a colloquial sense, but an NYT reporter says it like he's telling you the weather.

pulling a critique of the bell curve from a university library but not the bell curve is as concise a way i can think of to describe the goal of the speech discourse in the past 15 years

“They should withdraw these strange things” LOL Swedish translated into English is so cute

icmi, I chatted with @cat-tebaldi.bsky.social and @burscott.bsky.social about the bargain-basement tropes of masculinity and femininity pushed by the hard right, and how patriarchal triumphalism overcompensates with feelings of inadequacy, loss, and failure... rightrising.fireside.fm/57

"Vox populi, vox dei" He says, raising the sacrificial knife.

The last time I publicly questioned Byrne's anti-trans views, I got put on blast by Brian Leiter. I hope this leads Anglo-American philosophers to realize that their years-long willingness to normalize anti-trans views in the discipline has had terrible consequences in the real world.

For a brilliant unpicking of the nexus of fascist violence, pronatalism, gender panic, technodystopia, and magical thinking about A.I. that Elon Musk and his ilk represent, I can highly recommend this piece:

Had a lovely chat about hard men, hard times, and the funny little manosphere guys who’ve taken over the US govt — with @cat-tebaldi.bsky.social and Alexander Reid Ross from @franetwork.bsky.social — check it out below!

Sara Ahmed: "So, when you see 'gender critical' feminists congratulating each other on their latest legal win, just remember, they are giving the patriarch more tools, turning biology into his hammer. It is not just a hollow victory. It is the patriarch’s victory." open.substack.com/pub/feminist...

Our union sister, Rümeysa Öztürk, has been detained by ICE for exercising her right to free speech. Please consider contributing to or sharing this fundraiser organized by Rümeysa's immigration court legal team:

fuck jk rowling 🖕😤🖕 go to hell. leon stands with his trans brothers and sisters and every one in between forever and always

What does it take for someone's soul to be this emptied

"Not a single trans person was allowed to speak before the Court."

Few things more nauseating than watching British TERFs take a victory lap on cable news

The myth of de-extinction in a lab vs the reality of preventing extinction in the field. As @korybing.bsky.social says later in the thread: the fieldwork is hard, slow, and unsexy, but it WORKS. Our world is NOT recoverable in a lab. It’s this world or no world.

MAJOR Victory in Montana! Bill that would criminalize parents with felony child endangerment DIES in Montana after 15 Republicans cross party lines. The bill would have criminalized even parents of trans kids driving through the state. It died after nonbinary rep Howell delivered a strong speech.

We're recruiting a #postdoc! Come and work with the awesome @birthingthenation.bsky.social team at @pennstateuniv.bsky.social psu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/PSU_Academic...

anyways. hi, cis folks! the comment period for the proposed rule to remove trans care from the ACA as an essential health benefit is open til april 11. context & guidance in the thread below. it’s not hard; you can do it while you’re still angry about other things. 9 days left, as of this post!

Just in from the president of Harvard. They clearly do not understand this isn't about antisemitism and think they can placate the Trump administration with platitudes and capitulation. Mark my words, Harvard will capitulate and still be defunded in the coming weeks.

Glenn once wrote a book about how it was bad that elites didn’t face consequences for their crimes

Why is there no mention of Project Esther in this story? Reporting on “antisemitism” as their actual concern is profoundly irresponsible: what they aim for is the complete submission of higher education to their fascist project

Both Alice Sullivan and activist-journalist Judith Woods are obsessive ‘gender critical’ transphobes, actively using their power and privileged positions to punch down on trans people… just like Trump! If you’re a ‘GC’ transphobe, youre not “politically homeless”, you’re in bed with Trump! 😣

LOL NoFap genius strikes again

no one should ever pay any of the signatories of the harper's letter for any of their opinions ever again unless and until they make fulfill a clear and active commitment to apply the same concerns to speech across the board

Writing an op-ed is not illegal activity. They are revoking visas for thought crimes and for constitutionally protected expression.

screaming about fascism using this particular framing is a special interests of mine. here's one thread on the urgent need to stop the eminently stoppable who's-gonna-stop-me gang: x.com/gaynarcan/st...
