Today’s ruling to limit the use of race in college admissions is a big step backward in a long journey toward a more just society.

I stand with the @indynewsguild against this ridiculousness from @Gannett. #byebyebyline ✊
Today, many IndyStar journalists will begin withholding our bylines from our work indefinitely until Gannett takes our demand for a fair contract with fair pay seriously. We are fed up with dismal progress at the bargaining table since our contract expired almost three years ago.

This: “The masses are not balking at paying for Twitter Blue because they’re trying to shelter themselves within a crumbling elitist internet order but because they think Musk is offering an unworthy product and is also a dickhead.”
Making the product worse, asking you to pay for it, berating you for not paying for it, giving it back to you for free. slate.trib.al/DujGZJZ

I’m just as excited to lose my blue checkmark as I was the day I got it. I will absolutely (not)wear it with pride.

A lot of interesting trends on @ScottJaschik's list. ChatGPT is obviously one to watch, but he's not *too* worried about it, he said. Why? "Because I'm old, and I remember 10 years ago that they were equally as hysterical about Wikipedia." #ewahighered
Replying to @LuminaFound
@insidehighered's @ScottJaschik offers his top 10 issues to watch in #highered, including affirmative action, ChatGPT’s impact on student writing, how colleges handle TikTok, colleges closing, mental health, and more. #ewahighered

Also, he recommends paying attention to universities banning TikTok. "It involves censoring, really, what students can do with their phones. And that should probably offend you," @ScottJaschik said. #ewahighered

This: "There are so many people who are interesting. And instead we have to follow Elon Musk and Donald Trump."

And especially this: "We have to watch them host SNL, and read their inane tweets, and know precisely what they are going through at all times, because their whims can cost people jobs and ruin lives."

It took me nearly a year of working at @LuminaFound for someone to tweet this joke at us. Frankly, I’m disappointed.

Really, really feeling @ZrAlexKapitan’s session on the power of words and conscious language at #comnet22. (Yes this photo is terrible, but content > my photography skills.) Language can dehumanize, pathologize, and invisiblize people. More about this: radicalcopyeditor.com/2022/0…

Conscious language isn’t a “find-and-replace” task. It’s not a list of things to do. It’s a holistic approach centered around care, @ZrAlexKapitan said. #ComNet22

Orient yourself around care. Not correctness. #ComNet22
