@reyhuang.bsky.social and I ask a tough ethical question of ourselves and conflict scholars: Are we marketing rebellion?

I am spending my sabbatical year working on Cory Booker's foreign policy team. What he pulled off with his 25-hr speech was extraordinary. I feel proud and incredibly privileged to have contributed.

Good: Wow, an AI that has read my syllabus and all my slides/readings will probably give better answers to my students than rando internet AIs at 3am.
Evil: Wow, a lot of people think this AI could replace TAs. I guess we finally have a solution to the overproduction of PhDs.

Super excited to publicly launch "All Day TA" (http://www.alldayta.com), a product @joshgans.bsky.social and I have been working on with our team over the last year. Short version: if you teach in spring, you will want to use this! It's the future of higher education. A short thread: 1/x

Someone please help Mr Lizard get Big Scooter to make things right (preferably not Luigi-style).
So, looking for legal advice, fortunately not for anything dramatic.
My wife is disabled.
Around March, she bought an electric scooter which lets her get around our small town - church, post office, grocery, about a 2-mile range. This helped her greatly.
A few months later, it stopped working. 1/?

Holy cow, when was the last time a state collapsed this fast under rebel group pressure?
Syrian government control over southern Syria has completely collapsed. Rebels from The Southern Operations Room controls the entire city of Daraa and dozens of cities, towns and military barracks.

This is probably why I really left.
For months I blocked/muted every one of these ad accounts, but they were infinite.
I screenshotted them for about a week before I said eff that.
Just an awful information experience overall. Wasn't gonna last.

This place is so much better at connecting peers than Twttr/X ever was. My follower count is recovered after only a week, I'm finding interesting folks I never knew about and, they are mostly not bots. It's all signal and very little noise around here. So much better.

I've thought this too, and I sincerely hope it plays out.
one silver lining to trump winning a popular vote victory is it might actually persuade republicans that they don't have to dump free and fair elections to win (the silver in this lining is dull and very tarnished)

I'm shy on Twitter, and not too popular, but I've been here since 2009. I loved it here. But I just don't anymore. The ads are ghastly, my fave posters are buried in algorithmic garbage, and most the good ones don't post anymore either.

3 normy siblings spontaneously texted me today:
- "Blown away...seems like a genuine person."
- "Gave a B- speech...in the context of her-or-trump she sounds pretty good."
- "She doesn't seem like a libtard."
In this clan, this is really quite significant. #DNC2024CHICAGO

In the last 4 yrs, this woman has
- left an abusive marriage
- left an abusive religion
- raised/supported 4 boys
- started a new career
and
- finished her bachelor's!
She seized control of her life. I'm so amazed by my big sis Jessica for her exceptional grit and optimism!
