frustrated by some of the responses I was getting, I asked Google whether it thinks its AI has a bias.

In the same way that we have robots confirming that we are human, google AI confirmed that it cannot be trusted…. while blaming humans for the bias

First day of class and I’m ready to go!! Taught some excellent students. Commemorated the ongoing genocide & scholasticide in Gaza. And wore black following the call from the Ohio Student Association to protest SB1.

Faculty: Join @osuaaup.bsky.social & let’s get organized!

Congrats to Michigan on beating an Ohio State team that was supposed to win by a ton. Disappointed, but give them their due.

And keep your focus on this developing story about OSU PD-led team of police using pepper spray to go after both sides. Don’t get distracted.

Keep teaching truth despite state and federal repression. ✊🏽

In March 2023 I wrote this Op-Ed in the Columbus Dispatch on SB83 & promised we wouldn’t take it lying down. And we didn’t. As the fight to defend higher ed ramps up, remember that we held off SB83 for a year and a half. And we’re not going anywhere. www.dispatch.com/story/opinio...
