An outstanding keynote of historian @timothysnyder.bsky.social on the significance of the Ukrainian history for understanding global history and how it contextualizes the current Russia's invasion of Ukraine youtu.be/Xc64yG8TPzM?...

Our team members @fabiennelind.bsky.social & @moritzsedlatschek.bsky.social have presented their fantastic work at the CSS conference on „AI & Society - Exploring Inequality in the Digital Age“ in Mannheim. Very well done! 👏

My personal highlight of #COMPTEXT2025 😊

Where does the bias hide? 🔎 Let's discuss the applicability of multimodal models for clustering multilingual SM data w @daweg.bsky.social @nadjaoz.bsky.social @hdnrch.bsky.social Sunny Yang @tristancann.bsky.social Chair @hajoboo.bsky.social An awesome panel to end #COMPTEXT2025 ! ✍️

How can we better capture marginalised voices through computational text analysis? An inspiring roundtable at #COMPTEXT2025 sparked important reflections. Huge thanks to @ahrabhikat.bsky.social, @krangelie.bsky.social, @indiiigo.bsky.social for guiding this vital conversation!

Loved the roundtable led by @ahrabhikat.bsky.social "Marginalised Voices and Perspectives in Computational Text Analysis" /w @krangelie.bsky.social & @indiiigo.bsky.social Everyone was taking notes! ✍️ #COMPTEXT2025

What a great panel on media bias & misinformation at #COMPTEXT2025 Investigating political sentiment, ownership influence & public engagement with @lucas-p-dasilva.bsky.social @janabernhard.bsky.social @ahrabhikat.bsky.social @hajoboo.bsky.social Patrick Walkowiak @saminenno.bsky.social Jiyoung Lee

How the dynamics of media coverage change as a result of the interplay between issues and actors? @janabernhard.bsky.social shows in an excellent comp text analysis study on media bias in 🇦🇹 news before the 2024 Austrian elections. /w @ahrabhikat.bsky.social & @hajoboo.bsky.social #COMPTEXT2025

Discussing multimodal and network-based research of #PolCom at #COMPTEXT2025 🕸 @nicolarighetti.bsky.social presented the CooRTweet R package /w Paul Balluff.🔎 And more great studies and insights from Hubert Plisiecki, Wies Ruyters, David Spitzenberg! 👏 Chaired by @anniewald.bsky.social

Today, russia heavily bombed Ukraine with an intense focus on Kyiv. 8 dead, 80 injured🕯 During the international discussions about a possible ceasefire, russia consistently shows its only true face — indiscriminate violence and terrorism. Donate to UA savelife.in.ua/en/ #RussiaIsATerroriStstate

Feels like air raid alerts in Kyiv are nightly. I checked: since the year’s start, only 13 nights were free of alerts, and each lasts about 131 minutes on average. Let’s see how the ceasefire goes, but meanwhile, please donate to air defense, links in the next reply. #UaView #RStats

So, Trump is now openly condoning attacks on civilians and critical infrastructure—actions that are prohibited under international law, including the Geneva Conventions. Yet, some international media outlets still frame this as him 'putting pressure on Putin.' Call me disillusioned.

Want to learn about computational social science *for free* and launch interdisciplinary research projects? We are so excited to announce there will be *26* Summer Institutes in Computational Social Science this year! Apply to one of them here: sicss.io/locations

📢 New publication! Information, Communication & Society just published our study “Mainstreaming and transnationalization of anti-gender ideas through social media: the case of CitizenGO” w/ @nicolarighetti.bsky.social Bruna Paroni, Zsófia Cseri, Sofia Iriarte, & @maikovska.bsky.social ✨

The fact that this communication is now necessary ... for conferences happening in the *US* ... shocking.

Only 23 days more to submit your abstract to the network’s conference Sunbelt 2025 sunbelt2025.org With @mirandalubbers.bsky.social and Nuria Targarona, we welcome abstracts for the Mixed Methods for Social Network Analysis session!!! 🌟Join us in Paris, June 23-29.

The far-right FPÖ supposedly wants to restrict ENG in academic research & make GER the sole research language in AT. Nothing says commitment to excellence like isolating Austrian science from the global community. Tell me you don’t care about scientific progress w/o telling me… 🫣 #ScienceSkepticism

Publication Alert 📣 Our experimental study shows that politicians’ intolerant (but not uncivil) Tweets cause negative emotions in young participants. 🏛 This, in turn, increased pol distrust & pol participation intentions. @adme-uvienna.bsky.social #OpenAccess 📌 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

First ever publication alert! Do you credit all the software you use in your research?👀 In a new article in Computational Communication Research, we investigate when software gets mentioned in research articles and what makes a tool more likely to be cited. Read it here: doi.org/10.5117/CCR2...

PolComm crowd, mark your calendars! This year's ECREA Political Communication Section Interim Conference will take place at the @uniinnsbruck.bsky.social, September 4-5. Call for submissions is now open: www.uibk.ac.at/de/congress/... Looking forward to welcoming you all! #ecreapolcom25
