I am not a fan of academics being fired for saying the wrong thing about someone’s death on social media

The discourse in America today is exactly what you would expect in a destabilizing democracy, where a majority party was about to outlaw a political opposition party

The boat attack is a war crime and/or a mass murder! You can’t execute people based on the suspicion that they are trafficking drugs. This administration has already made high profile intelligence mistakes and cannot be given the benefit of the doubt here

I think I want to start a book club. I want the book club to bring together very smart people to discuss a BIPOC authored book with little to no literary merit. We would read joyful smut, melodramatic horror, or silly pulp and just take a little break from the world

Submitting an AI article with fake references to a peer reviewed journal should be a friable offence

Kristian Ulrichsen @kristianulrichsen.bsky.social · Aug 23

I'm peer reviewing a manuscript for a reputable publisher and came across fake references which must be AI-generated - including to an article attributed to me which sounds fascinating but which I never wrote.

The question, I think, is not how we ought to handle AI in university classrooms, but how do we ensure that university classrooms are not used to aid in the deskilling of our students

If Trump is going to make homeless people move out of Washington and destroy their encampments, where is he going to make them move to? Doesn’t he have a hotel in Washington? Maybe he can have them stay at his hotel. Maybe they can be invited to stay at any one of his hotels and resorts, for free

If you are putting together a creative nonfiction syllabus soon, I highly recommend Roxane Gay’s The Portable Feminist Reader. She picks a powerful cross-section of diverse, engaging and accessible essays that will generate great classroom conversations about contemporary feminist thought

(In the voice of a cartoon villain who just had his dastardly plot ruined by meddling teenagers) I would like to formally object to CMOS changing the citation structure! No more city names!? Preposterous. Repeating the full name of authors I cite multiple times!? Absurd. What are we, discount MLA!?
