Thank you Zef Segal for this review! “a meticulously curated critical tool kit. The sheer variation of its contributions—natural language processing, GIS, generative AI, network analysis—is impressive, but the book’s true value lies in its persistent, unifying demand for critical self-reflection.”

A delight to be a part of this special issue with @justinwigard.bsky.social !

🔮 Digital pranks have earned a reputation for platform-based popularity. But how prominent are such pranks amongst other “viral” genres? And what might they reveal about viral video as cultural form? Read through Tess McNulty's article to find out! culturalanalytics.org/article/1436...

Looking back on a great week at ESU Digital Humanities Summer School in Besançon. It was a delight to engage on the topic of AI and Images with this awesome group!

“As has been the case with other technologies, historians will find distinctive ways to work with generative AI. The need for history and history education will not disappear.” bit.ly/3UNLkWu

This piece from @mcsweeneys.net made my day! “Writers have been using me long before the advent of AI. I am the punctuation equivalent of a cardigan—beloved by MFA grads, used by editors when it’s actually cold, and worn year-round by screenwriters. I am not new here…”

Here's a write-up of my keynote from #DH2025, since academic publishing is slow and this was written for right now. roopikarisam.com/talks-cat/dh...

Many thanks to you, @miaout.bsky.social, for all of the wonderful posts and commentary on the #DH2025 sessions! Really enriched my overall experience.

My slides on The Paradoxes of Open Data in Libraries, Archives and Museums doi.org/10.5281/zeno... from our #DH2025 panel on Openness in GLAM: Analysing, Reflecting, and Discussing Global Case Studies Thanks again to all the speakers for your fantastic contributions! And the audience for questions

@roopikarisam.bsky.social is giving a great keynote on multiple fronts, but I really appreciate her calling out the tendency towards going for the latest shiny new toy for analysis just bc it’s new versus solid, traditional methods that work and may be more practical and sustainable #DH2025

RR: Repair must be our ethic, care our method. #dh2025.

Thank you, @roopikarisam.bsky.social, for your closing words for #DH2025: 'the future of DH requires access grounded in accountability; repair sustained by care; scholarship driven by solidarity' And also, 'hope and strategy are very important things to hold onto right now'

#DH2025 closes with heartfelt thanks to Diane Jakacki for all her work underpinning ADHO as Executive Board Chair for the past four years
