Part of the reason GenAI seems so magical to some people is that they never really learned to use their computers.

I now need a password, a dual authentication app, and a biometric log in to get into half the things I use at work.

Meanwhile, IT can't explain why copilot keeps turning itself back on.

What are we doing?

Had to rearrange one of my bookshelves today

For the record, there is almost no way this is intentional

The irony of a student writing a paper on antisemitism in the media that ends up being 88 lines long

I really don't know what to tell folks if they think any of these proposed reforms from Yale, or anything that we can possibly do here at UW - Madison, will change the Narrative™️ from the right in American politics about universities. We're a century into this stuff. We're not the problem.

I miss my cat. Nothing bad has happened to her. She just got out of bed to eat her breakfast

Its wonderful. Just avoid the malort burbon blend

But remember there is no money to hire someone who can actually do proper advising/manage all those athletes transfer credits/etc.

Playing Pokémon champions against someone w/ the username Sanity. So I got the message

"get ready to battle sanity"

Look here I study right wing politics. I do that every day. I'm not scared.

In unrelated news the town of Ruston now owns the USA Today 10Best awards. And even then they still can't imagine themselves in the #1 spot

When pope Francis died I made a (pre-bluesky) joke that as a non-catholic my top qualification for the next pope was that they hated JD Vance/Trump even more than Francis... I didn't mean for it to go this far

(also get these MFers out of office before they commit another war crime)

Well assuming we still have a society I know what sample ads I'm using for my book launch even next month

Oh my gd, the Artemis II crew doing a parody of a bad 1980s sitcom intro from in space.

In no way am I extra salty about this rn due to a "peer" reviewer rejecting my paper after clearly using chatgpt to do the review earlier today

Seeing as AI is not actually secure and you cannot use AI to do the exams... Welcome AP students to the world of having your academic work harvested for profit! I hope there is a way for you to request a human regarding, but we both know there won't be

Seriously, not every presentation is a winner but if you go and don't rethink anything ever then you need to pick a different conference. Or figure out who the regulars that are really good at presenting are and see them

Today I think I reached a new academic milestone--I think I just got my first AI-written peer review feedback!

Seeing as every other sociologist I know seems to be posting this I feel morally obligated to do the same (it is also 100% spot on)

Iran’s threat to airline travel: The Gulf’s skies are now a chokepoint too By targeting passenger terminals rather than runways, Iran has opened a new front in economic coercion.

📰 Read our PhD candidate Kazimier Lim’s article in The Interpreter by @lowyinstitute.bsky.social.

His piece explores how threats to Gulf airports could disrupt global supply chains, reshape perceptions of regional stability, and redefine modern coercive power.

Accountability brings consequences.

And consequences are the only language corruption understands.

Money and political power do not outrank the Constitution.

They just need a wake up call and it’s coming at the midterms.👇

MSS was amazing. Great to see folks again but seeing my students get up there and kick ass in their presentations was the biggest win

Screenshot of this post - https://bsky.app/profile/bluewavesurfer.bsky.social/post/3mi56uc3zsk2o - image is of the Ben franklin parkway from a drone/high perspective looking south east towards City Hall - more or less - completely filled with protestors with signs.

Image I actually took of the No Kings rally today, lots of people, taken from ground level so you can't really compare to the other but at least it's real.

This post is AI. I was just at No Kings Philly. It was big but not that big. Posting fake stuff and reposting fake stuff is bad.

CPAC 2026: come for the speeches, stay because there’s no line for the bathroom.

Presentation over. I think it went well. But my brain will be goo for a few hours

All prepped to give the best titled academic presentation I may ever have at @midwestsoc.bsky.social tomorrow #MSS26 #Sociology #academicsky #SocialScience #PunkScholars

I switched for a bit. I'm slowly switching back. Bluebooks are also draining and I can't give the type or assignments that get me excited with them

Paper title suggestion for those in the geological sciences: the south will rise again: climate change and shifting topographies in Louisiana
