Every “new” media scholar becomes a media historian (yesterday I found out my students were all born between 2005-2007…).

Damn. Does putting together your third-year review bring up academic/professional trauma for everyone, or do I need to go back to therapy...?

🎙️From deepfakes to the growing importance of social media verification, @robyncaplan.bsky.social talks to @agpines.bsky.social about the role of #AI today.

This episode of Duke Sanford's Policy 360 podcast can be found on Apple, Spotify & Amazon.

Glad that this says this is an official website of the United States government because it would be very hard to tell otherwise.

Ooooooh that’s awesome

Podcast idea: a podcast where the hosts interview other podcast hosts about their podcasts.

Am I depressed or is it just raining

The MAGA Media Takeover Trump and his powerful friends are creating a dangerous moment for free speech.

With TikTok’s potential sale to a group of Donald Trump allies, “we should be far less worried about what foreign governments could do with our social-media information than about how our own government might abuse it,” David Karpf argues.

My favorite new tiktok trend is the "alt-left pipeline" where swoll white dudes talk about how abortion is healthcare, backing black liberation, and translating anti-imperialism into gym-bro speak.

Will Duffield seems to be staying somewhat ideologically consistent (just went to check his twitter/x).

Surely all of those people crying about "jawboning" in the Biden administration will be up in arms now...

So committed to giving my students fun facts to use at parties that I am creating a Trivia Night exercise on 18th-century journalism history (and earlier print culture) in class tomorrow.

Exclusive: Leaked Messages from Charlie Kirk Assassin Accused shooter’s “politics” is not what government and media say

New Tyler Robinson posts leaked to me tell a very different story than you've heard before:

👇🎯 Folks look at you like you’re crazy when you say we’re in the midst of the worst Article I constitutional crisis in 🇺🇸 history, & then, well, 👇🤷‍♂️

One of the reasons that IRBs are so frustrating is that invent their own terminology for forms etc (ones that feel so counter-intuitive that it's mindboggling) and then treat it as if it is universally understood.

I'm so grateful for Governor Hochul's support in unifying our party, her resolve in standing up to Trump, and her focus on making New York affordable. I look forward to the great work we will accomplish together.

Our movement is only growing stronger. Onward to November.

It is truly astounding that the moderate from Buffalo can make this endorsement but the self-identified progressive from Brooklyn seems unwilling or unable to do so.

Did the Governor of Utah just say that he prayed the last few days the killer would be "from another country or from another state because that would make it easier?" Uh...easier to do what.

Also, in personal news: This morning, my kid asked me why I say “eh” so much.

Thank you!!

I love my job so much but I absolutely hate how much of my life is spent making PowerPoint presentations.
