No, the UK’s Online Safety Act Doesn’t Make Children Safer Online Young people should be able to access information, speak to each other and to the world, play games, and express themselves online without the government making decisions about what speech is permissi...

The UK’s Online Safety Act doesn’t make kids safer online—it just censors the internet and invades everyone’s privacy.

A house that looks like a giant smoke alarm on an otherwise normal street. The text reads: They finally did it! Your dream home made entirely out of a smoke alarm. You can't live inside a smoke alarm, but you can make sure there are working ones in every bedroom, outside sleeping areas, and on every level of your (normal) home. Check to make sure your smoke alarm isn't expired.

Home sweet home

I am very excited to be getting settled and started at my new academic home. However the universe seems to be taking joy in throwing all obstacles it can in my way!

This thread is incredible.

The thing that stands out here is so many Dems run campaigns terrified of (and thus buying into) the Fox News framing.

Mamdani is rightly mocking that framing as ridiculous and it resonates. He's not running scared. He's running proud of who he is and what he stands for.

Writes a new intro.

Realizes, I'm 1000 words in before I even get to the old intro.

This is now going to be two articles.

So many well-meaning Western people are oblivious to Palestine. Your systems don't work. Human rights don't apply. Countless evidence of war crimes so the ICC got sanctioned. Medics, journalists, executed. You can buy aid but it can't go in. Everything you built failed here.

"They need to let food into Gaza. They need to let food to starving kids! Congress is paying to bomb poor kids in Gaza, and paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US!"

It may not surprise folks that the modern process of sharing and validating scientific discoveries is fairly recent and formed to maximize profit for those who have no hand in the actual labor of research; making Robert Maxwell a billionaire on the back of scholars.

We interviewed all 28 children and they had much to say about Mr. Harbaugh’s mother

Ernest S. Harbaugh, a Cybertruck owner from Ohio, states that 28 children laughed at his Cybertruck after a minor problem resulted in it being towed on a flatbed.

Please don't put in the newspaper that 28 children laughed at me

Computer science and any other science does not exist outside society. Especially as AI enters into all aspects of our life we need graduates who are capable technically and societally aware.

Firefox could be doomed without Google search deal, says executive “We would be really struggling to stay alive.”

My third Ph.D. student, Jacob Logas, successfully defended his dissertation yesterday!

Jacob developed a framework for creating computationally aesthetic anti-facial recognition perturbations on images. Details to come!

He will be joining Franklin & Marshall as an assistant professor. Congrats!

Thank you, Dr. @logas.me for the work you do to ensure that privacy is useful and effective for everyone!

It was an honor to be part of your journey :)

Now i can drag my cat out on hikes

What a wild series of weeks, filled with long days and nights but I have officially crossed the finish line! Thank you @sauvik.me for guiding me through these several years.

Boards and Administrators Won’t Defend Higher Ed From Trump. It’s Up to Us. To fight fascism, university faculty, staff and students must show our power.

Thanks to Jennifer Ruth for these powerful words + for highlighting our April 17 Day of Action: “Between the Trump team’s attacks and higher education’s appeasement, we must reclaim our universities for ourselves. Academic freedom is not Trump’s to take or boards’ to give away.” 🔥👏👊

He should become a republican then if he wants to bring back the “old” party

This is sad. He is in denial. The GOPers he goes to the gym with and has friendly interactions with are monsters and that is hard for him to accept. He thought he was in a club filled with gentlemanly disagreements. The cognitive dissonance is too much for him.

the entire left is about to meet the police we have come to know so well.

trumps dystopia armed with the democrats' surveillance regime.

Looking forward to my new position at Franklin & Marshall this coming Fall!
