Thank you Razieh -- for sharing and the shout out! ♥️

One of the things I keep thinking about—even two months after ICA Mobile Preconference—is our workshop on digital disconnection policies. We had to think about kids’ education, ages, and contexts—and we kept circling back to the role of "teachers" who would actually deliver those policies!

We explore asymmetries in delivery, why they arise and how they matter. Now out in the Journal of Media Literacy Education (open access): digitalcommons.uri.edu/jmle/vol17/i...

Huge shoutout to tremendous collaborators Prof Michelle Nelson and Dr Michael Spikes!

Media literacy is often seen as a key solution to preparing people to navigate a complex media environment. But is it taught equitably? Our new article examines how an Illinois mandate requiring media literacy instruction is being implemented across schools. digitalcommons.uri.edu/jmle/vol17/i...

My article examines Starlink’s expansion into one of the world’s largest telecommunications markets and calls for a shift away from techno-optimist hype toward a more grounded understanding of the legal and sovereign challenges posed by foreign control over the Indian airwaves.

Weather the heat well 😎

Have we over indexed on writing being perfect rather than meaningful? In any case it is DEPRESSING. No matter how clever, I don't think AI can really replace real knowledge work.

I think there's not nearly enough focus on how gen AI bots are replacing writing. I am sure we are all noticing how AI writing is percolating into homework assignments, journal articles and reviews. Most of it is shallow, dull and un-insightful.

Summertime appeal to the skincare world: sun block needs to come in much much bigger bottles than 50ml (1.7 oz)!

This is a hot take. (get it 😅🫣)

Seeing the m-dash everywhere. In journal articles, reviews, tweets, reddit posts, new book... This can't be good.

I see! Thanks!

Wait -- do you need a copilot subscription for it? Why is my Word still from 2023!

That's the curious part! Why hasn't Word been supercharged yet? What with being partners with OpenAI and owning copilot...

Identification police, the future is yours.

The bots are here! This place must be thriving..

I can't put into words how tremendous the loss of anes would be.

The supply of and demand for cruelty are both much higher than I'd once thought

Need a bookmark button!

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

The drivel of copyright or whatever is only valid only as far as those who are so SO far removed from the realities of 99% of students and researchers in this world. It's tragic, truly tragic.

We are truly in the end times of the Internet.
I can't express how much libgen and another platform (rhymes with shybub) helped me back in India during (and beyond) my masters program.

I'm genuinely curious -- who is asking to interact with AI profiles on social media? Who is the intended audience?!!

This has been the warmest, sunniest Christmas of my life!

love that the title is "not too late"

get ready for a column educating the public on the dangers of diff-in-diff

Would you mind recommending some work that gets at it?

Picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline.

I love these starter packs!
