Response to NYT Editorial: "A.I. Companies Are Eating Higher Education
The New York Times has published an insightful editorial from a history professor at Columbia University – this is my response.

For Black scholars, "rigor" has too often meant surviving racial harm in the academy. I wrote a draft piece on racial epistemicide, linguistic policing, and African American history this #BlackHistoryMonth. 🔗 jamielukasc.substack.com/p/the-harm-o... #DecolonizeTheAcademy
This is such a transformative piece of writing - moving, affirming, real. Educators, do read and heed this wisdom! Academia is for all of us.
Jaime Hoerricks, PhD@jaimehoerricks.bsky.social · 9mo agoAfter “Who Owns Gestalt Language Processing?”, this piece turns to origin. A mythic, queer account of how knowing arrives before language, why explanation comes later, and why gestalt processors must be allowed to document from the centre. autside.substack.com/p/beyond-the...
Fortresses were never meant to last forever. The humanities' disconcerting position on AI and the serious threat it poses to the systemic and cultural change that the academy so desperately needs. #DecolonizeTheAcademy blogs.qub.ac.uk/jlc/2025/11/...
I can’t wait to get my hand on a copy of this. @conorbrockbank.bsky.social is a thoughtful and passionate thinker — cannot wait to read his piece!

JD Vance is refusing to condemn racist and antisemitic messages from Republican groups and Trump's press secretary is saying the Democratic Party is filled with "Hamas terrorists" and "violent criminals."
In a sane reality, this insane comment would’ve ended the career of any other press secretary. In this reality, it’s just another Thursday. But when the Trump fever breaks, and it will break, these people will have to reckon with the digital footprints of their own depravity.

Substack keeps feeding me ghosts of assimilation—voices longing for lost respectability, mistaking obedience for belonging. I trace their grief, their drift rightward, and reclaim the simple, ungovernable act of reaching for myself. open.substack.com/pub/autside/...

I meant this deeply: My work now is all dissent work. I write for a future I likely will not see.

That dissents are not about today. Dissents are writing for a future society that will take that dissent, that will be ready for that dissent, & enact it” @nhannahjones.bsky.social

luigi mangione murdered a healthcare executive and opposed "wokeism." i don't know why people insist that killers need some coherent ideology. most people don't even have coherent wardrobes, let alone a coherent worldview.
When I wrote this in 2019 some accused me of exaggerating the connection between the intellectual bigotry/racism of the Spectator and Telegraph (as exemplified by Scruton and Murray) and BNP/street-level thuggery. If anything I was too cautious.. www.politics.co.uk/comment-anal...
Scruton is part of an intellectual culture giving respectability to racism
Howls of outrage over philosopher Sir Roger Scruton's loss of a government job ignore the reality of his output.

"The politicians and pundits who crack the whip on immigration need to be asked, right now, where this ends." @jonathanliew.bsky.social is absolutely right here. Long past time to stand up to the dangerous racism infecting our political discourse. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
What is the endgame in this toxic immigration debate: is it friends and neighbours thrown out of the country? | Jonthan Liew
The notion of remigration was abstract, but the right is dragging it towards respectability. If the goal is homogeneous whiteness, they should say it, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Liew

👏🏾 "[...] Language that cuts through the fidelity culture of curriculum publishers, who would rather train teachers to withhold support than risk deviating from the pacing guide. Fidelity—how that word stings. It is presented as virtue, but in practice it is often erasure."

@jdportes.bsky.social outstanding job on @gbnewsonline.bsky.social just now. So grateful for you standing your ground. I watched the hosts joke about migrants sinking on boats, and watched Bev Turner this morning refer to migrants as "cultural vandalism" in London. Thank you for bringing facts!
As the conclave begins to elect the next Pope, the world is once again focused on the colour of smoke announcing the decision of the Cardinals. It makes you wonder how did others experience previous conclaves, away from the livestream footage of news … 1/ #Catholicism #skystorians #conclave
