I've heard through the grapevine about a few UK universities using research metrics to make redundancy or performance management decisions, and it's really troubling, but I think there is scope to push back and hold institutions to account. #AcademicSky

I wrote this two days after Trump supporters stormed the Capital. Unfortunately, many Democrats have done exactly what this piece warns against: pushing for more censorship and surveillance as a response to right wing extremism. They're helping the fascists. www.fastcompany.com/90592060/cap...

It's kind of funny that the NYCMayor Twitter account just changes names without archiving the old posts so now it's @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's name on all of Eric Adams' old tweets

Lady was at the reading room during my shift to look at some collection. She said her husband had done some reporting on the klan. I mentioned the famous radio Superman episode that was inspired by a klan exposé. She said yeah that was my husband.

i get why they'd redact evidence of trump in the files before they're released, but going through and deleting the files with pictures of trump that they accidentally forgot to redact post-release is just absurd. we already know they were friends and spent time together. what are you doing

Addams Family Value is importantly holiday viewing cause you need your younger relatives used to phrase “Woe to the Republic”

One of my ongoing frustrations with software engineering as a professional practice is that LLMs were in no way the thing that caused this (though they do exacerbate it). Every company I’ve seen in my career fetishized producing solution-shaped objects for problems they didn’t (care to) understand.

::screams in librarian:: LLMs can censor materials from the library systems if deemed “sensitive” and also currently being sold as getting rid of “sensitive content” from local library collections. Of course this shit is being manipulated. For the benefit of who is the bigger question.
