I think the next UF president should be Chris Rufo. Hear me out: Not an academic✅ No terminal degree✅ No leadership experience in #highered✅ Driven by pure ideology, not academic excellence✅ Ivy League pedigree; no Florida educational ties✅ Needs real job paying >$1M✅

This weekend, I passed 1K citations. I never thought I would hit this # as a political scientist with a non-elite pedigree who studied an obscure topic. Yet here we are. Thanks to everyone who has cited my work approvingly or critically over the years!

Has anyone ever heard of a journal published by @springernature.com called "Knowledge in Society"? My ORCID record was just updated showing that I completed a review for this journal but I've never heard of it and can't find anything about it online.

Some news from #Florida on #AI rights. A judge has ruled that chatbots don’t have free speech rights. Rights theory is currently a mess & it looks like judges might have to be the ones to clean it up for the scholars who can’t agree on who or what deserves legal rights. www.wusf.org/courts-law/2...

This is a very sad but interesting test of moral rights. Advocates of the properties-based approach to moral status (ie most animal rights theorists) would likely argue that since the woman is brain dead, she is not sentient and therefore doesn't have rights. www.npr.org/2025/05/16/n...
