I teach writing classes and this is, if anything, underselling the problem. We are also underselling how aggressively AI companies are selling themselves to students, specifically as a means to cheat at or dismiss the value of school work. They treat a GPT subscription as an expense like textbooks.

Last I saw on @annagbusse.bsky.social's feed was that political scientist* Trzaskowski was barely ahead in exit polls for today's runoff election in #Poland. ICYMI, Anna wrote about what's at stake in @goodauth.bsky.social👇🏼 *yes, he's Warsaw's mayor, but he's also got a PhD in political science.

My 2 cents on the recent Romanian elections in ‪@goodauth.bsky.social. Romanian democracy dodged a bullet (barely) but this is no time to be complacent...

This is more than standard econ 101 supply/demand stuff. Universities rely on full-tuition paying foreign students to subsidize lower costs for domestic students. This is more like what happens when you pull a restaurant's liquor license - without the most profitable menu items, it's gonna close.

Are #smartphones and #socialmedia harming a generation? This is a hotly debated and often polarizing debate. So we surveyed over 120 experts on the topic to see where there was genuine consensus (or not), like experts have previous done for climate change. See our paper: osf.io/preprints/ps...

A huge thanks to @goodauth.bsky.social for having me as one of their Good Fellows. @dadakim.bsky.social and Vanessa were amazing editors and full of patience! I learned a lot about writing. @johnsides.bsky.social and @profsaunders.bsky.social were great to work with, too!

Kudos to the EBU spokesperson who crafted a line sure to make political realists cry: "We all aspire to keep the Eurovision song contest positive and inclusive and aspire to show the world as it could be, rather than how it necessarily is." goodauthority.org/news/eurovis...

If you encounter what seems like an implausible survey finding, ask: 1. Were survey respondents selected randomly or was this an opt-in poll? 2. Could the results, especially for young adults, be driven by bogus respondents? Keep this post in mind: www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

🧵Ok, I rag on Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, for his impeachable conduct on deportations and abandonment of all his prior views. But today he's the one "constantly on the phone" and paying attention to the India-Pakistan crisis. Should we be reassured? Absolutely not. 1/

If you're upset about the attacks at NSF/NIH and other science agencies, Trump is now flooding them with political appointees rather than the scientists you're used to working with. Politics, rather than science, will now govern them. My piece in Science w/@donmoyn www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I didn’t give a wit about new pope coverage, but the first American pope being a man with Black ancestry born in Chicago by way of New Orleans by way of Haiti. Names his self after the pope who condemned slavery? In the Trump era? Oh, baebae, I am HERE for it. www.wwltv.com/article/news...
