I received a textbook today from McGraw-Hill. Updated 2025. Not one peep in it about AI or chatbots or how to write with them swimming all around our students (yes, like sharks). Not a single piece of advice.
Another global mass extinction event. The oncoming Holocene/Anthropocene Extinction.
There is such an easy route that Uni's are failing to take. Lead with culture change. Stop spamming us about the new software and partnerships. Stop the endless workshops in the teaching and learning centers. Start talking about what learning is and when these products help or hurt this process.
As a professor of it, I once had to describe — in a single sentence — where authority originates in journalism.
Goes like this:
"I'm there, you're not, let me tell you about it."
In times of war it applies most www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7e3...

NATO is learning Ukraine’s survival skills.
Starmer says UK will bring Ukrainian experts together with UK experts to help Gulf partners shoot down Iranian drones. Ukraine has done this for years under real combat pressure.
So why is Ukraine still kept outside NATO?
Who says anyone in this thread voted for Trump? I missed that part. I voted for Harris. November has to be a massive rebuke of fascism, Trump’s massive corruption, oligarchy, and the Epstein elites.
Jesus. I’m not going to try to decode that shit.
The damage to our scientific infrastructure has been horrific. However, I would say there is a more pressing and deeper. Fisher that must be repaired. The internal guard rails of our system that prevent a unitary executive takeover are nonexistent. This must be repaired. Join us. The1776.org
Three cheers for the House of Lords. This far from the the first time in their modern history that they have functioned as a check on the tendency of governments to comply with the industry pressure.
The Republicans are already gearing up to smear him over his vocal support of transgender youth and LGBTQ+ rights. They think that’s all they’ll need to put him away in Texas. Too many Democrats and Hispanics are too pissed off. They’ll vote in record numbers.
Stop pretending that Orban’s Hungary is a friend of Europe.
Can Hungary be taken to court in the EU?
Like many other countries around the world, including BRICS nations. One does expect democracies to at least take the side of the Iranian people. Australia supports the U.S. actions in Iran to quell nuclear weapons capacities.

Is the U.S. at war with Iran? In which case, no Iranian target or asset is off the table. Or is the U.S. engaged in a “special operation” or specific targeted mission? It’s hard to tell. The U.S. Congress and the administration have given the American people multiple divergent explanations.

The opportunity to surrender is the humane and non-Putin choice. It’s a winner in terms of public international sentiment and siding with Ukraine against a barbarous invader.
Dear Student--you will need to provide a photocopy of each source you quote in your paper, highlighting the quote itself in the source.
Teaching Paul Virilio and Sylvère Lotringer, PURE WAR, on Monday. It's come in and out of my lectures over many years. Since the mid-80s it's never not been relevant. mitpress.mit.edu/978157027078...
Bondi is under intense scrutiny for her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. As many as 20 Republicans might be prepared to back an effort to render punishment against the nation’s top prosecutor for slowwalking the materials’ release… www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
Republicans are destroying education because polling indicates more educatied people are less likely to vote for them. That will have serious repercussions across all levels of American culture and society. A similar trend contributed to the downfall of the Roman empire.

These clowns.
Read @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social on the "intellectually insecure reactionaries" around Epstein. Much here that I did not know

I reflect on a past class discussion that would have run afoul of a new University of Texas System policy prohibiting discussions on "controversies not germane to the course." www.insidehighered.com/opinion/colu...
Fuck. Even Google search AI summary gets it: “As the Marine commanding officer at Guantanamo Bay, [Jessup] orders an illegal ‘Code Red’ disciplinary action that results in a private's death, ultimately facing court-martial due to his arrogant, power-hungry, and abusive leadership style.”
He’s got a bunch of little Nazis there celebrating the odors of his taint because he calls liberals fascist.
