I see history repeats itself.

I'm going to try to do more writing about how universities and researchers are being affected by recent policy changes from the Trump Administration. If you are an academic or researcher willing to share your experience, you can do so here: forms.gle/oyhXivWMJeno... Please share/repost.

Ruha’s talk was the best plenary talk of any conference I’ve ever been to. Thank you for the inspiration.

I resent the bad actors of this era for forcing me to live in a nightmarish reality where I have to make phone calls.

Thank you Senator Demora! www.dispatch.com/story/opinio...

The opposite of #DEI is separation, injustice, and exclusion. End goals for this political era.

He is telling on himself as he “works” from the White House which is also his home for the next 4 years.

NEWS: A Census employee tells me that the National Crime Victimization Survey—conducted for DOJ's Bureau of Justice Statistics—and National Health Interview Survey—conducted for the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics—have already been altered to fit with Trump's anti-trans censorship.

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

I’m currently rethinking my travel plans involving airline flight.

When I was taught about Lombroso in my first year, I didn’t expect his ghost to appear in a US presidential press conference about an air tragedy… #criminology

Did I read my email right? Did #NIJ #NationalInstituteofJustice just cancel all previously posted Notices of Funding? In other words, all federal funding opportunities through this DOJ program for #criminaljustice, #policing, & other related research has been canceled? #academicsky #CRIMsky

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

as we’re seeing the endpoint of the anti-DEI hysteria is just opening the door to rampant employment discrimination

Are we just going to start renaming everything every 4 years now?

We need an “I agree this is all horrible” button on Bluesky because hitting the heart on devastating news just doesn’t seem right.

The most powerful words you can say right now to these fascist bastards is: "No, make me." They cannot actually be everywhere and enforce their fascist policies. They rely on fear to do the job of governing for them. By refusing to comply, you make their means of compliance ineffective.

On birthright citizenship, lots of hot takes here. Mine, it has been simmering near a boil for more than a decade.

I couldn’t survive on that wage 35 years ago.

Normalize deleting apps owned by oligarchs.

100% chance there was an agreement to tweak the algorithm in his favor.

"Our research demonstrates a significant negative correlation between the frequent use of AI tools and critical thinking abilities, mediated by the phenomenon of cognitive offloading. "

Everything is dumb and terrible, and it's gonna be dumb and terrible for a while. It’s important to do what you can to make it less dumb and terrible, and it's important to find a way make some contentment for yourself in spite of everything being dumb and terrible.

That’s been the goal all along.

If you’re not following the TikTok to Rednote saga, you should be. Marketing and sociology professors, please have a look at this post and the comments for a case study. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8FHPtba/

My new op-ed. Let's stop pretending GenAI is compatible with the values of the university. futureu.education/higher-ed/co...

More and more I am feeling like I am done with the entire social media experiment. Algorithms don’t get me, or I don’t get them. Ads are infinitely annoying. AI content is downright dystopian. All I want is to know what my friends are up to, and none can deliver that experience.

The youth risk profiling programme referred to in this case in the US, is very similar to the top400 programme in the Netherlands which we discussed in our article on rhizomatic harms of algorithmic policing journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

No, they're not caught between anything. Stop it. The fact that AI may be used or useful in future jobs does not create a single dilemma at all for college students in how to actually complete their coursework. This is all nonsense & excuses for not doing the reading & learning how to think & write.

I hope your holiday is as warm and wonderful as Kk.
