Am already feeling very settled over on 🟦 sky. Would encourage anyone (especially academic colleagues) thinking of making the switch to do so, it’s great. Like the early days of Twitter.

Replying to @JoeBiden
My fear was that Biden would be a placeholder president between an aspiring autocracy and a realized one and he’s done nothing to assuage that fear.

Don't do this. Ditto long or complex assessment briefs in attempt to overload token limits, or restricting tasks to course specific texts. We don't need to enter a 'gotcha' competition with our students, or an arms race with A.I.

🍾 A major victory for good science, and for free speech! 🍾
BREAKING! @FrancescaGino's ridiculous defamation lawsuit against @DataColada from last year has been dismissed by the court! This is an important victory.. if this had been allowed to move forward it would have had a chilling effect on whistleblowers! storage.courtlistener.com/re…

A new take on marginal gains…don’t ban your athletes when they fail tests, let them compete in the hope they help you find others that are cheating…and supposedly don’t ban them either 🤷‍♂️
