Hey! Calling all Wonder Women! We all are sisters…pulling together with one spirit. 50 years ago today the first episode of the series Wonder Woman aired.

Not too late to apply! Wonderful faculty, beautiful campus, what’s not to love?

Ellis says she is "ordering complete relief to the plaintiffs."

♥️♥️♥️ Judge Ellis ♥️♥️♥️

One minor take-away from the NYC mayor's race for those concerned with AI/synthetic media and its effects on politics and elections might be that, in this particular instance, the guy who made a malicious deepfake lost and the guy who made authentic videos won.

Colorado approves higher taxes on the wealthy to pay for school lunches and food stamps! #Pinks #ProudBlue #StrongerTogether #Colorado #BlueWave coloradosun.com/2025/11/04/p...

Oh hi, hope, good to feel you.

Huge thank you to all the amazing poll workers who are working their asses off today and tonight!

I have a lot of hopes for today. One of the less important but nonetheless real is the hope that the name Winsome never again appears in my text message spam. Why me? Why?

It’s a sad day when a judge has to order the President of the United States to feed vulnerable families and hungry children with funds already designated for that very purpose.

You should apply to do an internship with us! - Make sure you attach a research statement (we don't consider anybody with no statement for interviews) - The application site will probably go down for a day or two on Nov 17, and the link may change jobs.careers.microsoft.com/global/en/jo...

If SNAP serves ~1 in 8 Every person in the US - each person in your household - must donate an entire day's worth of food per week to compensate. If you know 3 people who do not donate, you'd need to donate 12 meals/week Point: do everything you can; also PUSH bc there is only 1 realistic solution

Woke up. Donated to the nearest food bank.

After adding new data to our spreadsheet, our central estimate of turnout for the No Kings Day protests yesterday has risen to 5.5 million, with an upper bound of 8.7 www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...

I love this planet

Ok which #aoir2025 person can get me the recipe for the signature Nancy & Steve cocktail? Cuz if I didn’t get to drink it there, you know I need to try making it at home.

😍 Boston, you are beautiful. #NoKings

Haven’t been posting much because everything, but my dog wants you to know that CBD really is a miracle drug for canine arthritis. Now back to silence.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

How about if all the stellar journalists who have walked or been let go in the last year start a new news organization. I’ll subscribe.

Congrats to @aramsinn.bsky.social and @jesgilbert.bsky.social! Their wonderful book "The Secret Life of Data: Navigating Hype and Uncertainty in the Age of Algorithmic Surveillance" won the 2025 AoIR Nancy Baym Book Award. 1/2 aoir.org/2025nb_booka... @aoir.bsky.social @nancybaym.bsky.social

On a different topic, I threw away 25 years of teaching evals today. The most recent were 13 years old. LOL.

"We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent." —Justice Sonia Sotomayor

I’m seeing a lot of inaccurate info about the Anthropic settlement being passed around as fact, so here’s a good basic explainer from the Author’s Guild that I highly recommend reading so you understand it better if you’re potentially part of the class: authorsguild.org/news/what-au...

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

😮😮😮

Interesting moment in language use to see so many wondering if “it” has happened. When I was a kid, “it” could refer to many things, not just that one.

“I can’t believe they’re still building buildings with nightmare stairs,” I said to the businessman in front of me as we struggled up scary stairs in my nightmare.

Love a well defined rainbow

Today in sunrises…

@histoftech.bsky.social Am obit of interest that you might have seen already. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/b...

Very amused to spend 48 hours in Canada and find myself staying in the same hotel as Mark Carney. Big of him to show up for me like that.

A small peace offering

If you have the capacity to support a wonderful woman and her wonderful wife (with whom I’ve had the joy of working) in a very difficult time, please join me in helping Fobazi and Elena. Thank you @ysabel.bsky.social for pulling this together for them.

Sad sad sad at the shuttering of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

@mjcrockett.bsky.social Wonderful talk at MSR NY today. Brought several things on my mind and in our labs’ work together very nicely. Thank you!

We may have the chance to hire an outstanding researcher 3+ years post PhD to join Tarleton Gillespie, Mary Gray and me in Cambridge MA bringing critical sociotechnical perspectives to bear on new technologies. jobs.careers.microsoft.com/global/en/jo...

The Right: Race has nothing to do with poverty Also the Right: Race is inseparable from poverty

This is an EXCEEDINGLY beautiful book.

Being “treated” to a free neighborhood concert and that is one way to make you appreciate the original versions of songs you never liked.

Read this list and understand what’s coming

I have been so influenced by work from this department.

No more wars. No more wars. No more wars. No more wars. No more wars. No more wars. No more wars. No more wars. No more wars. No more wars. No more wars.

Today in metaphors for protecting yourself while remaining open…

This framing exists because the decision is instantly obvious as one of the legal atrocities of US history, like Dred Scot, the 1870s Civil Rights Cases, Korematsu. The Times doesn’t want to say “The Supreme Court stripped rights out of law” so instead it says “Here’s why they did it to themselves”

Storm clouds gathering, you say?

I can speculate better than most but does anyone actually KNOW where the now-ubiquitous caption “She doesn’t know it yet but this viral video is about to change her life” originates? Is it all from the same engagement farm? Why is it now everywhere?
