Such an inspiring @dh2025lisbon.bsky.social #dh2025 closing keynote by @roopikarisam.bsky.social about care and repair!

Whew…that’s a hard travel sell. Lovely places but aside from Ireland, this is rough from this zip code while kids are home. Sigh

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'

RR: Repair must be our ethic, care our method. #DH2025.

Is All of This Self-Monitoring Making Us Paranoid?

Professor @wernimont.bsky.social‬ reflects on the overreliance of data from wearable technology, via the @nytimes.com‬. “They’re like, ‘The device said …’ or ‘The monitor said …,’ and I’m like, ‘But what did your body say?’”

Is All of This Self-Monitoring Making Us Paranoid?

Thinking about wearables in the NYT - don’t be part of the worried well! www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/s...

A delight to have Macro/Micro here in the FMS gallery - we’re thinking about structures and vision at atomic and planetary scales

Notably, the judge in the case, Todd Lang, said he was moved by the video. “I loved that AI, and thank you for that. As angry as you are, and as justifiably angry as the family is, I heard the forgiveness, and I know Mr. Horcasitas could appreciate it, but so did I,” Lang said immediately before sentencing Horcasitas. “I love the beauty in what Christopher, and I call him Christopher—I always call people by their last names, it’s a formality of the court—but I feel like calling him Christopher as we’ve gotten to know him today. I feel that that was genuine, because obviously the forgiveness of Mr. Horcasitas reflects the character I heard about today. But it also says something about the family, because you told me how angry you were, and you demanded the maximum sentence. And even though that’s what you wanted, you allowed Chris to speak from his heart as you saw it. I didn’t hear him asking for the maximum sentence.”

“Automation bias” is when people believe the output of a machine is accurate simply because it’s a machine. What is the term for when people “believe” the output of a gen ai image despite knowing it to be computer generated? www.404media.co/i-loved-that...

I definitely don’t want to spend any part of my one precious life double checking the work of an efficiency tool that screws up 1/3 of the time

Anatomy of an AI Coup | TechPolicy.Press DOGE is gutting federal agencies to install AI across the government. Democracy is on the line, writes Tech Policy Press fellow Eryk Salvaggio.

"We are in the midst of a political coup that, if successful, would forever change the nature of US government. It is not taking place in the streets. There is no martial law. It is taking place cubicle by cubicle in federal agencies and in the mundane automation of bureaucracy." @eryk.bsky.social

Buuuut we did it!!!

I think we have all of these here too. I have also personally watched Princess Bride and the Last Unicorn and The Never Ending Story….a lot

Today I coached two 7th grade basketball games and then cheered for two more. Tomorrow I’ll do it all again and then drive three hours home. Parenthood is no joke

It was a delight to spend part of last night hearing @roopikarisam.bsky.social talk as part of our Digital Humanities Work talk for the Leslie Center’s celebration series. Despite being in kind of mind bending pain, I was very happy and inspired!

Milwaukee police consider trade: 2.5 million mugshots for free facial recognition access Milwaukee police have relied on neighboring departments for facial recognition use in the past. Now the department is hoping to acquire it for itself.

I’m honestly surprised human blockades haven’t started yet

I’m really surprised it works. There are legal cases that take years and those people not only show up at offices, they stand in front of judges who say they can’t help
