I stand corrected—she's certainly been Tweeting. If it makes you feel any better, I'm also concerned that I share a field with a Jill Stein voter!

I’m excited for when my feed stops talking about college football and starts talking about real football instead

Well, definitely. Though I would personally prefer they were in power right now all the same

I think it’s a totally separate point that Jill Stein only rears her head every four years to help depress the Dem vote (and that her lack of activity in the areas mentioned in the video proves this)
Gabriel Lonsberry (@glonsber.bsky.social) reply parent
But that’s the whole point? She spent 2024 attacking Dems for not doing those things, and after helping get Trump elected promptly stopped doing them herself.

not a new observation but ….. EVERY AI GUIDANCE DOCUMENT I READ BEGINS WITH SOME VERSION OF “AI HOLDS GREAT POTENTIAL TO REVOLUTIONIZE HIGHER EDUCATION,” CITES NO EVIDENCE FOE THIS CLAIM, AND THEN GOES ON TO LIST ALL OF THE PROBLEMS WITH AI. 😩 THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

You've been on a tear lately. Every time I see one of your posts you're listening to one of my all-time favorite records

For some reason, that album never really clicked with me until this week!

International students are lifeblood for US innovation. They are 75% of all foreign-born founders of venture-capital funded startup companies in the United States. Many will simply stop coming, now that they face tests for thoughtcrime.

Fantastic time at #RSA25 in Boston! Over the moon that my panel ‘Keeping Up Appearances: Royal Bodies at the Jacobean Court’ was a success! So grateful to @emilyhay.bsky.social and @glonsber.bsky.social for their excellent papers - both will also be presenting at @kingjamesconf.bsky.social ! 👑

Look, folks, this is it. The entire ballgame. Either we're a Republic of laws & the Constitution, or we have a dictator. This is fascism, & the impeachment vote should be happening today. Every single university president in the country should be out, in front of microphones, condemning this.
