UAlbany political science Speaker Series started well with a great talk about place and Black political behavior by Professor Peay. I will be inviting more friends to speak. Who wants to come to Albany?!

One of our main blindspots as a country is that we haven’t grappled with the giant predatory evil of diaper companies, preying on tired parents who can’t do math.

In this moment, I think we should all come together and say, as a single nation united:

“…well at least they aren’t the Yankees. Go Sox!”

I will start teaching my students how to use AI when my colleagues in computer science start to teach Homer, Dante, Langston Hughes, Borges, Foucault, Audre Lord, Spivak, and Donna Haraway in their classes

Aparna Nair @disabilitystor1.bsky.social · 17d

I realize many people don’t quite get that not every single professor in every single university teaches computer science and might actually be trained in and invested in teaching other things, like let’s say, history? Or poetry.
Or sociology.
It is not our job to teach students how to use AI.

If you don’t teach your students how to use AI, you’re doing them a huge disservice because they won’t have jobs in the future.

Anyone claiming that their technology "democratizes" should be forced to write and submit an essay on what democracy is to a local political scientist.

New idea: just call oral vaccines “baby supplements” and talk about how they will get your baby jacked. Problem solved.

Its also kind of amazing how condensed the vaccines are now. I think it was only ever two pokes at one time.

If this happens I will call it an unmitigated win and go apologize for all the mean things I said about AI.

One of the joys of teaching intro level classes is playing out your problems with the field on unsuspecting freshmen.

This is what you want me to bring into my classroom? Into my research? Into every part of my life?
What a joke.

This is what you get with AI, not your perfectly tailored entertainment, but an endless pile of slop and shit produced for the minimum money possible. Just Adorno’s culture industry taken to its absolute extreme.

So if you remember that frustrating article a couple of weeks ago at the Dispatch suggesting that we ought to save the sciences by shoving the humanities overboard, I wrote a response to the financial illiteracy and moral cowardice of that position: thedispatch.com/article/univ...

How (Not) to Save the American University

Why splitting the sciences and humanities—and appeasing Trump—won’t work.
