I've done research in community colleges, and I get how important it is to better serve those students. But something about experimenting on these kids with AI for writing - which has at least some potential for real harm - gives me Tuskegee Syphilis Study vibes.

At the center of my message to faculty yesterday was: 1.) We may not be adequately prepared for how angry students are about tech. 2.) They are not all angry for the same reasons. 3.) Being angry at it doesn’t mean they aren’t using it. The sense of entrapment fuels the anger.

The reason you do gifted education in kindergarten is social, not academic. It’s designed to create a stratification system that keeps well resourced families in the school system, but set apart from the majority of students. It’s resource hoarding, exclusionary, and hierarchy from day one of school

trump is good at exploiting "anchoring biases." He throws out a number that everyone knows is ludicrous, but that number becomes a reference point that influences actual decisions because it's so ludicrous

I encourage people protesting to be non destructive and non violent. And I remind: Proud Boys like infiltrating crowds, whipping up normies (this is what happened on 1.6) and creating chaos. Putting you, using your 1a, in peril. Distinguish yourself from these goons always. Heads on swivels, folks.

Message repetition works. Instead of constantly repeating that there's a double standard (there is), I humbly suggest we keep repeating that they're incompetent (they are)

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison. It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

I used to feel proud knowing Easter was the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox. But this year I learned it's actually the first Sunday after what the church says is the first full moon after what the church says is the vernal equinox and somehow that ruins all my fun

My undergrad intro to macroeconomics textbook listed opportunities for grift as a cost of tariffs, because policymakers can solicit favors and bribes for exemptions. If Grassley is pleading in public for exemptions, what do we think is happening in private?

So, the plan is: focus on what RFKJr has been doing for 20 years - spreading disinformation for his own gain at the expense of public health. No promises or back tracking when the health of millions is at stake. We hold to that standard, and so should the Senate. @drsforamerica.bsky.social

One of the things I love about my eagles is when they won their Superbowl they turned down Trump's WH invitation. No one is forced to comply with norms, so why comply with those that give him stature

The McConaughey ad is so bad. They have to invent problems for AI to solve to sell it, and I'm guessing AI doesn't even solve those fake problems well

Building on this great thread: the good fight has been going on for centuries, and we can learn from those who fought before us. Two great examples: Ida B. Wells and Alexei Navalny. Here’s what I learned from their autobiographies:

Yikes: "They submitted applications for 50 children, 43 of whom did not exist. They applied as parents under their own names as well as under the names of made-up 'ghost' parents."
