A few months ago I learned my university is merging with another. This morning, I learned that CCCC is being dissolved. The hits keep coming.

Wishing that the immediate experience of a heat wave would help folks connect the dots, but I know the AI hype is too distracting for many people.

The inability to connect dots will be our undoing.

This framing is beneath contempt. The Christian right and MAGA launched an unprecedented assault on the civil rights of a tiny minority and successfully weaponized the pseudoliberal establishment - led by the NYT - to provide it with a medical controversy pretext that doesn’t actually exist.

Here's the inside story of the case that could set the movement back a generation.

The pain and suffering that will result from this ruling is hard to imagine. Wondering when we'll hit bottom.

Watching higher ed willingly contribute to the death of expertise is sad and infuriating. Imagine spending two decades requiring assessment of every program and office only to embrace new AI toys that are only supported by hype--where's the data about achieving learning outcomes with these products?

I mean, the threats of missing out. It's the panic about MOOCs all over again.

I received 73 emails (so far) today on my work account. Some were easy deletes, many were not. I haven't dealt with all of them, but I also taught 2 classes, had meetings with 7 students, graded 29 quizzes and read 2 rough drafts. No wonder when I tried to write, I struggled. Unsustainable.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

What is wrong with Senate Democrats? There is a five-alarm Article I constitutional crisis. No votes. No attending joint session Trump speeches. No normal operations at all until all the illegal stealing of Congress’ authority stops. Why is this so hard?

Truly, primary every single Democrat who supports the MAGA agenda. Incomprehensible. Also ask them why they hate dogs.

I keep thinking about those congresspeople kneeling in the rotunda wearing kente cloth scarves, very performative. There has been no loud, visible, unified support for Sarah McBride from the democrats. It’s a real disgrace. That is your colleague! They are bullying her in your faces. And silence!

Awful. OpenAI (and other AI cos) are making a hard push for getting AI into K-12 schools, which they see as a burgeoning market. Most teachers I've spoken to, meanwhile, say AI is terrible. Outside of computer class, there should be no gen AI in K12 schools, period. techcrunch.com/2024/11/20/o...

Hey. Married queers. Get wills/power of attorney drawn up. If Obergefell falls, you'll need it. I say this as a widower whose husband died pre-Obergefell. (We married in MA in '04.) Having this documentation in place took one minor stressor away from an extremely horrible situation.

It's a relatively small group now, but shouldn't be ignored or dismissed. This article shines a light on this group for whom "America is not a pluralistic society at all, but rather one in which there exists an uneasy truce between Christians and those they reluctantly tolerate."

These extremely online young Christian men want to end the 19th Amendment, restore public flogging, and make America white again.

We have a very serious disaster unfolding in the Southern Appalachians right now. Multiple locations breaking record river crests by several feet. The Swannanoa River at Biltmore broke a record from 1791. Uncharted territory.

The images and stories coming out of rural mountain communities in NC and TN are devastating. National media doesn't seem interested at this point. Wish I was surprised.
