About Trump v. Barbara: Do not give the Court and the CJ credit for reading and upholding the Constitution. It's a travesty that this is not a unanimous decision... it's also a travesty that the Court let this question percolate for a year, giving credence to a crank theory of citizenship.

Trying to decide which of my favorite court watchers' ( @mjsdc.bsky.social @chrisgeidner.bsky.social @stevevladeck.bsky.social ) I'm going to read first on decision day.

Headline: Democratic Party stunned to find out winning elections isn’t about waiting your turn.

from my own perspective this is one of the greatest harms done by this government and plotting a course to reverse this damage is must be a very priority in our speech and our activism

Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social · last mo.

Stephen Miller was reportedly the driving force behind the DOJ's recent memo authorizing states to institutionalize people with disabilities rather than fund community-based care

This tepid headline seriously undersells what a disaster this is going to be for students w/ disabilities and their families.

Rep. Mike Levin@levin.house.gov · last mo.

Disabled students in this country are about to get bounced between three different federal agencies just to get the education they’re legally entitled to.

If I may, I'd like to outline why this is a colossal mistake that is purposely designed to (a) create a system that cannot work to the benefit of the public and (b) will lead to overt harm of children, families, and communities:

NEW: The Education Department told advocates this morning that special education programs will move to the Department of Health and Human Services, AND civil rights enforcement for schools and colleges will move to the Department of Justice. www.edweek.org/teaching-lea...

Every time one of these pricks gets cornered by a congresswoman, they point and lecture in the most infantilizing way. Never the men, just the women. It's disgusting.

Me: (to my 16yo) So what do you and your friends think about AI? Kid: Oh god, everyone hates it. It's the worst.

Ohioans: our legislature is trying to do even more to gut state higher education. HB698 is moving along now to make SB1 from last year even worse. Sign to send to the General Assembly to show that Ohioans are done with these bullshit attacks on our institutions. (Sponsored by Ohio AAUP).

Reject HB 698-Stop Attacking Higher Education

Ohio's public colleges and universities are under attack and the people who will pay the price are students, workers, and communities across the state. House Bill 698 doubles down on a troubling patte...

As a researcher I totally understand how this could be an incredibly informative project that could benefit teachers, students, and families. But at this point there is zero, ZERO reason to trust AI companies, or AI proponents at all. Full stop.

University of Washington researchers planned to have preschool teachers wear cameras that would record everything they saw, including the children they were teaching, then use it to develop AI models. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.

In a recent episode of The Boys, Soldier Boy made a reference to Kent State. Today is the day in reference. May 4. It was on this day in 1970 that 4 students were killed and 9 injured when the National Guard opened fire on student protesters in Kent OH. Here it is: www.kent.edu/may-4-histor...

It is a joy to work with colleagues that get just as excited about a paper acceptance today as they did 10-15 years ago.

What would you do? I was recently in situation with a personal/professional crossover in which I had no idea what to do. Would love some advice. I was invited to my son's high school to be an audience member for senior capstone project presentations.

Everything about this is so, so wrong. A complete failure of culture and leadership.

Yo, @badar-kauffman.bsky.social. You should consider this for 2027. Seriously.

Thomas Lecaque@tlecaque.bsky.social · 4mo ago

I want a "conference" where every academic cooks a dish for everyone and we all talk about our work casually while cooking. People can sous chef for each other. We eat and talk about our work in progress. You submit an abstract and a recipe.

The one thing missing from this piece is that it contributes to the constant increase in expectations and workload for faculty. That is a fair criticism. Nevertheless, I stand by my position in the article.

What makes an academic conference truly worth your time and money? (And no, open bar is not an option).
