Bay State Wiz @paulrb51.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Of course Trump is against AI regulation. 1) He is profiting off AI; 2) He doesn’t give a shit about AI’s impact since he won’t be around to experience its disastrous effects.

Bay State Wiz @paulrb51.bsky.social · 15/08/2026 As a retired sociology prof, I found today’s NYT hit piece on the “leftist orientation” of sociology offensive & vapid.

Bay State Wiz @paulrb51.bsky.social · 27/04/2026Don’t completely give up on us. Things are looking good for the fall midterms. Trump will be impeached again and hopefully removed if Dems take the Senate, which is looking increasingly possible.
