First and foremost, I'd like to give props to Elon Musk for his Twitter game, I salute you for doing all the wrong things to this platform. 1/13

I am disappointed with Twitter's/Elons recent decision to revoke verified badges from users and make them pay for new ones. This is a slap in the face to the platform's users, and it will create chaos and mistrust among them. 2/13

1. Is it wrong to let students use AI to generate essays instead of doing their own work? My colleague Gabriele Contessa wrote an excellent response to this question, which goes something like this:
2. (1) University students are adults and it's up to them whether to waste their time and money on a specious degree or actually learn something; (2) If AI can write better than most people, then maybe what students need to learn is how to use AI.
3. I want to add one more response to this question: (3) Academia was always a rigged game. The fact that we force students to use Standard English is a political choice that reinforces the elite status of the group that predominantly uses this vernacular - wealthy white people.
#Technocracy is #Fascism, #Communism, or something parallel. Coronavirus pandemic accelerated long-held plans of #WEF #Davos to establish #Globalist #Elite so-called #Leftist NWO. #Global policymakers advocating the “Great Reset” advocate #EcoDystopia

The coming #technocracy is Marxism: involves close cooperation between heads of #digital #industry & #govts. Programs such as minimum income & healthcare for all? NWO governance 'strict societal control with the promise of comprehensive social justice

@RepSteveStivers 1. Did you tell @CapitolPolice that a #MetalDetector is #Unconstitutional? Why is it that #WeThePeople have had to go thru 1 when we enter a #FederalBldg for yrs? I've had to be #Screened numerous times! Why is this #Unconstitutional for #GOPMembers but not for #WeThePeople?
@RepSteveStivers @CapitolPolice 2. Talk about a #DoubleStandard! What's good for #WeThePeople is good for all #Politicians! Why is it that @GOP can't do what needs to be done for #CommonGood? #Elitism And #WearADamnMask!
@RepSteveStivers @CapitolPolice @GOP 3.And how is giving the @CapitolPolice a hard time supporting the @CapitolPolice! #GOPHypocrisy
@RepBoebert 1. Americans can't take a gun into a #FederalBuilding. I believe that only those who need a gun to carry out their duties are allowed to have a gun in a #FederalBuilding. I couldn’t even take a 4 inch nail scissors into my local Social Security office.

@RepBoebert 2. I had to leave it w/a security guard. Do you need a gun to carry out your duties as a Congresswoman? It seems to me you're using your position to get #SpecialTreatment. Isn't that #Elitism? #GOPHypocrisy
@RepBoebert @threadreaderapp unroll
Can I instead write an article about how the concept of guilty pleasures in based in classism, racism, & sexism instead? Because “low brow” often means poor/working class, racialized or feminized things? How bout that article?

Further, half the things people are replying about—sci-fi (my own research), reality TV & gaming—are things people do actual real research on already.
I also feel like this article concept is another way of performing that academics can’t embrace pleasure, that work can not be pleasurable. I say fuck that and read @adriennemaree’s new book Pleasure Activism next month when it drops.

Do you want ANY corporation monitoring your whereabouts and behavior 24x7? Hell no.
And a reminder that “insurance” wasn’t created to help the most secure/fit. Franklin’s vision: to spread risk throughout a community.

Insurance as envisioned by Benjamin Franklin was the opposite of individualism (an American myth with long legs).
