Pinning this to my profile: I am a professor of educational leadership. I teach courses in School Law and the Politics of Education. My research and writing are mostly around educational technology in K-12 and higher education. I am also a big sports fan. Go Duke. Go Yankees. Go Mystics.

And here I was told that we don't allow criminal immigrants in this country...

I studied abroad for a semester in Israel 33 years ago, so allow me to expertly opine on the exit polls from today's election in Israel...

I think I located Flavio Bolsanaro

James Madison University going for R1 status.

New issue of the Journal of Academic Freedom, focused on academic freedom as a practice of democracy, just dropped.

Wherein Rick Hess uses DFER as a stand-in for the views of Democrats on education policy. Bruh... virginiafreepress.com/where-are-de...

Hmmm... the URL for Matter and Space, the group led by Leblanc, Siemens, et al., that was trying to "reimagine education for the age of AI" now just redirects to SNHU. //cc @grandeped.bsky.social

I will be thinking about this for a while. Brilliant work by @erichoov.bsky.social .

Good work, NYT. For real.

Sorry, but those signs were not antisemitic

I am happy about the #WorldSeries for the people of Milwaukee because their #MNBA team stinks this year.

If it walks like a snake oil salesman and it quacks like a snake oil salesman...

not my business i suppose but boy do i not see the point of a) being on twitter; b) getting into spats with randos on twitter; or c) coming onto bsky to brag about any of it

Oh, I doubt it...

If at first you don't succeed in prosecuting your enemies, try, try again...

My gut reaction is that I don't like this.

I laughed (and cried)

I can't lie. Sometimes (often?), writing a short lit review for an article manuscript feels... silly? Like, I need to write a paragraph or two on a topic that's essentially been written in dozens of articles and I have to write it again in my own words?

Oh, wait, I got an email, too...

TFW you get a text message AND a voicemail telling you that your kid was tardy to school and you feel like the worst parent ever.

And this problem will be exacerbated by AI-infused platforms that claim to be able to conduct meta-analyses.

One of the very best things about working in higher education is the opportunity to work alongside truly fascinating people.

I find it very funny that Trump is ranting about Bill Maher. His smug, insufferable ass deserves it.

My wife, a clinical psychologist, gave me some homework.

After 24 hours of reflecting on YCSE, I think the only thing I feel confident about is that Billy is a... dick (ahem).

I am available to kick for the Packers.

Dan Campbell made a bad decision.

"When I asked Mayer if it’s somewhat depressing to imagine a frictionless future when birthday celebrations, holiday gifts and family vacations are planned by A.I., she seemed caught off guard. 'I haven’t really thought that through,' she said." 🤷‍♂️

My take is that all cheesecake is gross.

Send some of this energy to Brazil now

The New York Giants, imo

It will never not shock me that the POTUS is calling a Muslim Senate candidate a "jihadist" and Somali people "low IQ."

I mean, it happens...

Duke vs Kansas exhibition basketball. I am rooting for Duke and no injuries. #GoDuke #DDMF

This is almost certainly true. My wife and I only knew the contours of the Theranos story and hadn't consumed any of Fielder's content. So, our initial reactions to Holmes were... different than most?
