There is something profoundly wrong with you if you hate Dolly Parton. Apparently, antisemites hate Dolly. Which makes it as good an argument as any to reject antisemites.

BlueSky, what’s wrong with you? More people are talking about “AIPAC” and it’s not even close. Reading the posts, it’s like Jews are the source of all evil.

No no no. I am an AI optimist as much as the next guy, but fully formed replies is a bridge too far. @developers.google.com I am not interested in delegating online connection to chatbots. Quick, 1 sentence replies are one thing, but reminiscing about hallucinated experiences is something else.

This should put the nail in the coffin of pandemic learning loss denialists. Our students are graduating with academic skills a full year behind.

I hope a political scientist can explain the significance of this alignment. I see Iran (IRGC) flag, I see Palestine flag. But no Ukraine flag. In fact, I see co-opted Soviet symbols on the red flag. Why does Russia get the “get out of colonialist jail” card?

Continuing my lonely crusade against antisemitism in academia. The chilling line “what did Jews do to make themselves so hated?” Is one I hear often without a hint of shame or self awareness. Here is exhibit A from a current law suit.

Yeah, I wish I had some skis today. Snow in Bloomington is rare I hear.

You shoulda seen the view from my office at USC information sciences institute. Sadly, I gave it up to move to a college town in Midwest. 😆

People are feeling emboldened to say the quiet part out loud.

Went out for lunch with students in the beautiful Marina Del Rey. This guy is a regular - likely lives on a boat in the Marina. I would have like to talk to him to find out what made him out this text - front and back - but am worried I would start arguing instead.

🚨New preprint on a verboten topic: social correlates of views on abortion. Analyzing millions of geolocated tweets, we find a gender gap in abortion stance, show it widens in conservative states and identify the structural factors involved. w/ @ashwinrao.bsky.social 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2507.05443

This is Los Angeles now. We are surrounded by fire. Thousands of homes are destroyed. Businesses, schools, entire neighborhoods. It is apocalyptic.
