Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.

BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

I'm currently taking a course on improving active learning opportunities in my classes and the instructions keep suggesting I plug my prompts into their AI system to "enhance" the assignments. I conscientiously object and will not plug in. This is a scary world. I don't need to make it worse.

The only responsible way to teach children about AI is to show them how irresponsible the adults, especially its purveyors—are being—there is no showing kids how to use it “responsibly.”

Professors across the country spoke to @rewirenewsgroup.com about how they're fighting Trump's attempt to infiltrate higher ed. From mutual defense pacts to taking pay cuts, they say "trying to appease an authoritarian government is never really going to work." rewirenewsgroup.com/2025/06/13/i...

Today's reminder that, no, we were neither hysterically over-reacting nor wrong when we invoked Weimar comparisons & told you to listen to the comparative politics experts like @dziblatt.bsky.social years ago.

Social media creating two media universes: one in which you drive yourself into, at best, a lowkey depression being continually served videos of atrocities, one in which you are so under-informed that you vote for someone pledging to deport 20mn people and then go 'wait, he wants to deport people?'

It’s a difficult proposition for undergrads to work through, but choosing a major isn’t really about what kind of jobs you want to do so much as what sorts of questions you want to think about or how you want to think about questions throughout your life.
