Hello friends: can I ask you a favor? It's been about a month since the #ADHD book has been out in the wild. Would you be so kind as to leave an Amazon review? They make all the difference to authors. The book and I thank you in advance! #HigherEd #AcademicSky

YOUR PHONE CALLS TO THE SENATE ARE WORKING. KEEP CALLING. 202–224-3121 Three Democrats who previously broke with the party and voted with the GOP are now saying they will not vote for the bill. That’s enough for the bill to be unpassable right now.

"I don't know" is one of the most powerful intellectual positions imaginable. Where you plant your "I don't know" flag signals your research question, methodology, and even what *counts* as evidence. Current commercial manifestations of GenAI make it so you cannot even see the spot on the ground.
