We need to start calling out big tech for their algorithmically faciltated emissions and their climate collapse by design default. Read our comment in Big Data & Society @bigdatasoc.bsky.social doi.org/10.1177/2053...

For PW, I wrote about the persistent gender gap in fictional animal characters—a pattern I noticed while analyzing 100s of picture books with @puddingviz.bsky.social. It's a more interesting (and pervasive) problem than I first thought. #kidlit #booksky 🔗: www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

We also just got a paper desk rejected because the journal couldn't recruit reviewers for it 😕

So they just… re-traumatized a bunch of kids so as to create yet another surveillance technology that will not & indeed most likely CANNOT reliably work, but will nonetheless likely be widely used on (weaponized against) already marginalized communties to justify our further oppression? …Well fuck.

On Tuesday, this happened! Thanks to my EDI-buddy @elisalvai.bsky.social — built this session together from scratch and had fun doing it ✨ Big thanks also to our invited speakers @robysinatra.bsky.social @feldtfos.bsky.social for making the session so interesting — not easy during a lunch break!

#ICWSM @icwsm.bsky.social would be nothing without its community. Here are some of the heroes who work hard to guarantee that authors receive useful reviews: @aldayelabeer.bsky.social @chibold.bsky.social @lespin.bsky.social @elaragon.bsky.social @shrutiphadke.bsky.social @tiziano.bsky.social

Best paper and honorable mentions 🏆 Congrats to all authors! #icwsm

It was a pleasure working with you all 🙌

Had a great time meeting everyone and seeing all the interesting work @icwsm.bsky.social. I presented our study on the Wikireddit dataset - exploring Wikipedia’s role in fact-checking, discussion, and cross-platform attention on the web. Thank you to the organisers! 📄: ojs.aaai.org/index.php/IC...

A lively poster session at #ICWSM @icwsm.bsky.social

The 19th International AAAI Conference on Web & Social Media (ICWSM) is underway in Copenhagen. We are enjoying seeing everyone at the conference so far! Lots of valuable information exchange and networking.

Happy that I could at least join @icwsm.bsky.social #icwsm25 for some time this morning and listening to Richard Roger's keynote on algothimic auditing ... with one slide on the "history" or phases of this method

Kicking off 1st day @icwsm.bsky.social at beautiful Copenhagen University campus 🇩🇰. Done with presentation of our long paper titled “Discovering Latent Themes in Social Media Messaging: A Machine-in-the-Loop Approach Integrating LLMs” #icwsm #icwsm2025 #icwsm25 #nlproc #PurdueCS #PurdueUniversity
