Patient: Doc, I can't stop singing "What's new Pussycat" Doc: Sounds like you’ve got Tom Jones Syndrome Patient: Is it common? Doc: It's not unusual...

The Center for the sociology of innovation learned with great sadness that Michel Callon has passed away. A graduate of the École des Mines, Michel joined the center in the late 1960s and was its director from 1982 to 1994.

Je suis triste ce soir d’apprendre la mort de Michel Callon, que j’ai commencé à lire au mitan des années 1980, en même temps que son ami et co-auteur Bruno Latour. Quel choc ce fut, en 1986, de lire son article (devenu célèbre) sur les coquilles Saint-Jacques dans la baie de Saint-Brieuc…

This is a stupid argument. ZKPs aren’t bad because they’re not confidential enough. Worry instead because people can ask you to prove anything, at any time, to provision or deny you access to services, while saying ‘privacy is solved’! Rules, not disclosure, are the risk. Do better @eff.org.

Vaak wordt gedaan alsof een stijging van defensie-uitgaven ten koste gaat van de sociale zekerheid. Niemand lijkt te beseffen dat België 17,9 miljard uitgeeft aan subsidies voor fossiele brandstoffen, die de EU "economisch inefficiënt" noemt.... vrtnws.be/p.93R79ZZ4x

Opening keynote at #IMSW @stockholm-uni.bsky.social by Linsey McGoey. For me, she is an Oracle on oracular (market) power!

Investigating ✨hyped✨ technologies means much more than just ‘debunking’ - this is what the amazing range of presenters at the critical hype studies panel at STS Italia 2025 showed They also made a very kind audience for my first time presenting my research at @sociodigfutures.bsky.social

This is happening during Turo-Kimmo Lehtinen´s presentation on cyber insurance as infrastructure. You recognise an infrastructure when it breaks down. #insurancecult

🎉 Congratulations to #TILT researcher Dr. Léo Gargne on successfully defending his PhD dissertation today! Leo's dissertation titled "The Integration of Sustainability Considerations in EU Free Trade Agreements - A Legal Analysis" was supervised by Professors Panos Delimatsis & Leonie Reins.

And in case you missed it, last week, 200 people won seats to a private dinner with Trump by purchasing large quantities of Trump’s memecoin—some holding millions of dollars’ worth. This was the dinner: www.wired.com/story/a-heli...

Happy 28th birthday, favourite album!

Publication day! With @maijutanninen.bsky.social Favorite sentence (hidden in footnote): "In other words, we try to be ‘luhmannians’ without becoming ‘luhmaniacs’." Also interesting stuff about (dis-)trust in digital insurance. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Very excited to be presenting my book #AlgorithmicRulebyLaw today @tilburg-university.bsky.social - especially since so many TILT researchers helped inspire this book through their own work! We'll discuss public sector #AI & its impact on the rule of law: www.tilburguniversity.edu/about/school...

*Filosofisch gedachte-experiment, zonder reële aanleiding* Stel je voor dat iemand zichzelf als - kritische filosoof presenteert, maar niet aan grondige zelfkritiek doet - scepticus in de markt zet, maar klakkeloos militaire propaganda napraat 1/5

Wie zich bekommerde om de concentratie- en vernietigingskampen, moest het ook hebben over Molotov cocktails op Duitse tanks, partizanenaanslagen, gewapende opstanden in de ghettos van Warsaw of Vilnius, of de kampen van Treblinka, Sobibor of Auschwitz-Birkenau. NL poldert zich de immoraliteit in

Dit is het beste bewijs dat Kamala Harris niks van “the economy” snapte. Ze beweerde dat we met Trump na een half jaar in een recessie zouden zitten. Ze zit er verdorie dik drie maanden naast.

Onschuldige levens zijn niets waard voor het Israëlisch regime. En ze worden er nog voor beloond ook: onvoorwaardelijke steun van de VS en de EU. Ze steunen liever een oorlogscrimineel dan dat ze Palestijnse kinderen, vrouwen en mannen beschermen.

🤖How does digital technology affect our roles, behaviors, and responsibilities in health(care) & what is the role of ethics and regulation in AI decision-making? 🎧Tune in to a podcast episode with #TILTie @gertmeyers.bsky.social to hear the answers (in Dutch)⤵️ youiai.buzzsprout.com/2314095/epis...

Don't worry, be happy want het is vandaag de verjaardag van Bobby McFerrin. De zanger wordt 75 jaar. Hij had de enige nr 1 a capella hit in de VS. Meer weetjes en verhalen hoor je in de Nonkel Muziek podcast: www.podbean.com/ew/pb-r7u55-...

There was a lot of #AcademicFreedom, good scholarship, and independent thought in German universities before Hitler. After Hitler had risen to power, many academics fled the country. Some resisted the Nazi regime and were persecuted. Most adapted to a new situation. Here are some examples. 1/n

I ordered the book “How to Scam People” over six months ago and it still hasn’t arrived…

Pragmatic, modest, cross-sectoral, interdisciplinary, collaborative, sometimes risky methods are the best we've got & we must ⛔ celebrating disruption, critique for its own sake, innovation. ➕ respect of due process, governance, maintenance and just paying fucking attention. END
