Dropped last night. Essential read. @nickjudin.bsky.social always brings new, vital information amid rich, often brutal storytelling that continues to build on urgent stories he told first.

Is this about Jan 6

Free of charge to patients? Let's see. Conversion therapy on steroids, I'm guessing, the cost calculated in trauma, family estrangement, and probably worse.

I can't help but feel she juiced herself up for this one-sided shouting match. No facts, no data and certainly no self-awareness. If you're rich, you owe a responsibility to the rest of society, just like everybody else.

I think about Aaron Schwartz a lot. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_S...

Words to live by.

This is worse than you think. Read it. It’s horrific.

Paywalled! But oh no! Gotta write your MPs people.

Gallup doesn’t say the word “DOGE” in the entire article. She on them. The Trump Admin has been horrible for federal employees www.gallup.com/workplace/70...

Some days, replacing “note to self: find exact citation” with the exact citation is a huge success. Not to brag or anything, but I just did that twice in the same manuscript.

I did not think it was possible to lose more respect for the Washington Post Opinion team at this point, but here we are

I didn’t think they could get worse but they got worse.

US 30-year yield at 5.02% this morning. For those who don’t know, this is a dubious milestone. www.businessinsider.com/bond-yields-...

Please read this @nickkristof.bsky.social article. It is one of the most upsetting things I’ve ever read — so prepare yourself. But please do not look away. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/o...

Remember "innovation labs"? This article from 2019 feels ancient now. I can't help but feel we are going to wake up around 2029 and see we have gutted all thinking and creativity from every institution we have. hbr.org/2019/07/why-...

I did whole thing on polygraphs in my undergrad. Apparently, if you want to pass one, all you have to do is be really hungover.

"we go live now to Richard Dawkins, for his thoughts on AI."

Ok, so...Greta, I think you know what I'm going to say.

Russian actors behind Alberta separatist content, researchers find. Same play book every time. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Book burners never turn out to be the good guys.

Glad to see evidence that not having meniscus surgery was a good idea. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

From “taking Kyiv in 3 days” to warning people to watch out for Ukrainian drones over Moscow. Quite the collapse of the narrative.

People will die because of this administration's denial of facts. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/u...

As I listen to a jazz instrumental of Fly Me To The Moon.

May the Fourth be with you -- even the people who voted for the Empire www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the...

William Gibson:

I think this all started with Citizens United. Don't forget Alito shouting at Obama's call out at the State of the Union address. It was shocking at the time. SCOTUS was on this path way back then.

I mean, they already do this with dissertations! Why not Dance Your Grant App

Re: the Qualitative Inquiry paper on rejecting genAI in qual research. Overall, I agree with the critical stance but I think the authors need flesh out more about what they mean by "using genAI" specifically. here's the paper 1/x journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Remember the disastrous Time Warner / AOL merger? It began when billionaires sat next to each other at a celebration in Beijing. No one seemed to notice they were sitting where Tank Man and thousands of students were murdered just 10 years before.

Doing research on spectacular business failures and came across the awful life Gerald Levin, chair of Time Warner. His son Jonathan was murdered in his apartment. Gerald married and divorced 3 times. He died alone in 2024 of Parkinsons. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_...

I want a world run by competent lesbians.

#TIL The Wall Street Journal editorial page is written by a bunch of narcs. www.wsj.com/opinion/mari...

"... the jet, combined with the government changes to freedom of information laws, to exempt the premier and his cabinet from disclosing their government records, could prove to be a “double whammy” of negative sentiment." It should be the quattuorvigintuple whammy, but who's counting?

No, negotiation is not one party dictating to another. Carney is absolutely correct on this www.reuters.com/world/canada...

CBC reporting that Trump is demanding an “entry fee” from Canada to start trade negotiations. Sounds like a what a two-but thug would do www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

What is Friction-Maxxing and what does it have to do with human-centred design? www.samladner.com/campaigns/vi...

Terrible. The SPLC has been working tirelessly for decades to out white supremacists.

"In two years, there will be no bad software." I've never heard such bunk in my life! In two years, there will be a gazillion times more bad software because the cost of producing it will decline but the WISDOM of those who build is also declining. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUoh...

I absolutely LOVE, LOVE "Practical Ethnography" by @sladner.bsky.social I use it to teach Advanced Ethnography, because my basic course is on the foundations, but the advanced one looks at more sophisticated variations of ethnography, like business ethnography or organizational ethnography.

It's always great to see feedback like this.

Isn't this the guy that pretty much brought down Sonos as a company with an awful app update? arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025...

This would have been the equivalent of a foreign invasion -- Blackberry was a Canadian product.

This is very upsetting. Step sons unhappy w their inheritance weaponize ICE to arrest and detain their 85-year-old step mother.

I have an idea for all those empty offices...storage spaces! Hire people, make them miserable endless consumers, fire them, and then host their unused stuff for profit. It's a win win. Well.. more like win/lose but: CAPITALISM www.wsj.com/real-estate/...

Drop your crime fighting Catholics

Texas' only licensed Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu legal interpreter is now languishing in a Raymondville detention center. She’s lived in America for 35 years: www.texasobserver.org/immigration-...

I swear I earned my first big promotion because I could make a single page landscape in a portrait-orientation document. My boss nearly fainted in gratitude.

How likely is it that the AI CEO will replace Zuckerberg or any other CEO? This thought experiment reveals pretty much everything in the literature on work and tech. Tech built by the powerful for the powerful will never undermine their power.
