It was good to co-author alongside @clarekelly.bsky.social & Caitríona Leahy & with the input from Harun Šiljak & Norah Campbell. We are clearly not the only ones thinking like this, both within Trinity & beyond, so let's build community to #resistAI

Opinion: We are lecturers in Trinity College Dublin. It is our responsibility to resist AI
Even if all the known issues were magically resolved, we would still not want our students to use GenAI

Happy Boxing Day to everyone except those who didn't vote for the well-educated Black lady. Do we really think she'd've gotten off on Christmas bombings? How's your peace president working for you? Things looking better in what's left of the Gaza? It's also been a peaceful year for Ukraine, right?😘

I just learned that an
acquaintance has been in ICE custody since last Thurs. She will not even see a judge until 2026.

I don’t post this to yield Likes. But as this continues, ever more of us will know people being detained. Who will be able to look away or say this doesn’t affect their circle?

You've all put the Atlantic on your naughty list long since, right? It's a part of the spineless American media & its ppl should not be on NPR, IMO.

Haley Robson & anyone else who voted for him: Were you not listening? Or you have a mean streak? He lives to harm others.

"'I am so disgusted with this administration,' said Haley Robson, who voted for Trump, told CNN. 'I think Kash Patel and Pam Bondi both need to resign, and I would love to see Number 47 [Trump] get impeached over this.'"

Serious question to the MAGA crowd: Do you think the undated, unrelated images of Bill Clinton are going to convince anyone w/ a functioning brain that the DoJ hasn't repeatedly blacked out Pedo Prez & his pals' pics?
