These are amazing, Leon! Chastening, really…

He’s a super complicated figure. Argued a series of cases on behalf of Native Americans. Also a poet, championed by Blackwoods Magazine.

Catchwords AND signature marks. A lovely thing!

Maybe that explains why I couldn’t get it to load today. Same URL?

Children as aristocrats! With excellent servants!

Thrilling to watch Samuel Garcia speak to Tx Leg. committee on gerrymandering: you said there are no maps yet but how does “he” know he is getting 5 seats. There are maps! they are on his desk! And you are just doing what he wants. But that’s wrong… “it’s supposed to be bottom up not top down”

Completely. PDF organizer but also soldering specific projects / citations for classes. I can’t imagine working without it!

She’s home! Good dog!

AI integration initiatives are spearheaded by administrations with little input from faculty members and other campus community members, including staff and students. High levels of concern arose around AI and technology procurement, deployment, and use; dehumanized relations; and poor working and learning conditions. Seventy-one percent of respondents said decision-making and AI initiatives are overwhelmingly led by college or university administrations, and many respondents described administrators exerting great effort to introduce AI into research, teaching, policy, and professional development with little meaning­ful input from faculty members, staff, or students. Examples include the development of institutional AI tools, workshops on teaching and detecting plagia­rism, and subscribing to AI tools for students (such as Grammarly, marketed as an “AI writing partner”) without involving faculty members or students in the decision-making process. One respondent noted that “admin doesn’t seem to care about or value faculty input on this or any other topic” and hoped for “more faculty involvement in determining how AI and tech generally are used.”

The @aaup.org report on AI is so hugely important. Among other key takeaways is the fact that most AI programs have been introduced by administrative fiat and by circumventing meaningful faculty, student, & staff consultation.

That’s one sweet smile. C’mon Tulip! We all miss you!

full frontal assault on the freedom to learn

It’s so crazy he’s still in office! I’m truly amazed! I am not amazed.

Ha! I just sent comments on your chapter! Impeccable timing!

Oh dear! Hang in there Tulip!

Very happy to hear this! Updates on Tulip? Hope she’s also feeling better….

Hot wheels tracks have many… affordances. I mostly recall their being used in fights between siblings. Ouch!

:(

I haven’t! I just loved the contrast… now if Emma B had only owned a chainsaw…

Working on that “brand identity“ already… condolences.

!!

I’m so sorry— are you in the hospital or is Tulip? Wish I were close enough to look in on you! Should I write to one of your colleagues?

This is outrageous. Listen to your own damn faculty.

Or ethical. Sigh.

“Digital asbestos” is such a perfect descriptor! bsky.app/profile/katr...

Opinion | This Is the Moment Democrats Have Been Talking About for Years

Democratic leaders: You can’t beat an immoral agent of chaos with risk aversion. You beat him with moral clarity — the kind that’s willing to sacrifice corporate donations, political comfort and maybe even your own career for the sake of the greater good.

Brittany Commisso got a 450k settlement paid for by NYC taxpayers. He is a abusive liar

I say this all of the time. THANK YOU.

The CCA at Rutgers is hiring a new Admin. We're looking for someone who has excellent organizational skills and likes to throw intellectual parties. Apps for folks not already working at Rutgers open Aug. 4 and could close as soon as Aug. 8. Pass the word! jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/256...

Truly: where does this money go? Into the Treasury? It’s completely bizarre, in addition to being a fascist takeover of higher education…
