- Looks like an invasion.
- If this is what a broad based Dem party looks like, no but no thanks.

- Reposted by Onur ÖzgödeThis -- a model bill to effectively decimate non-STEM research by requiring 3-3 teaching loads outside of "STEM or Americanism and western civilization" -- seems...extremely bad but also quite plausible.

- Really astounding (racist) sh*t
- Why am I not surprised? It was obvious this was bound to happen when they built that ugly flagship building—there was some controversy but can’t remember what exactly.

- My department is looking for someone who studies the politics of public policy, broadly defined. We are an interdisciplinary department with international and Turkish faculty with diverse backgrounds. Feel free to reach out. stars.bilkent.edu.tr/staffapp/POL...
- Super interesting stuff on the pre-Fed ideas about monetary governance!
- Reposted by Onur ÖzgödeThe White House is taking new steps to undermine every international student at our universities. It has approved a new rule restricting student visas to 4 years max. That's not long enough for PhD students, or about half of undergrads, to finish their degree. Likely to enter force within days.
- Honestly if you are senior faculty complaining about service work because it is “free”, it looks very bad. I am all for people getting paid better, but this doesn’t change the fact that academia depends on gift as much as money exchange. You got where you got bc of the gift of free labor of others.
- Another reason @columbiauniversity.bsky.social to be ashamed of itself.

- Reposted by Onur ÖzgödeAmazing: MIT researchers revealed how ChatGPT etc are destroying our brains and booby-trapped the report to expose those who want to use AI to ostensibly summarize the results. t.co/JXeTALBPds
- No wonder the chocolate in airport was so expensive.
- Anyone who has gone through college and learned writing should know this. At least we now have hard proof.
- New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays. Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn. arxiv.org/pdf/2506.088...
- My first viral tweet. Wasn’t expecting it at all tbh. 😁
- How does one call a political movement that assassinates its opponents to take control of the state?
- They will arrest and deport legal persons, and the criteria will be skin color.
- GOP is trying to sabotage the entire higher education sector, because they see universities’ power to produce truth as a major threat to their fascist agenda. It is that simple.

- Reposted by Onur ÖzgödeThree things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.
