Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.
Stay tuned for my forthcoming methods paper, "Analytical Mamboing: Interpretive Dance as a Method of Inquiry in Arts-based Research"
Keynes argued that beyond economic security, everyone deserved access to "the good life." We need to bring this back to progressive politics! The arts and aesthetic education are human rights
One of the greatest contributions of the New Deal was funding public art, parks, artistic performances, and photography projects documenting daily life across the country
Ah, but if you upgrade to Premium, you get access to AI-generated article summaries 🙃
It seems incredibly bizarre to me that article metrics are now hidden behind a paywall in the ACM DL
The hardest thing about running music programming is trying to come up with songs that fifth graders will know
How long until we invade Iran? North Korea? Denmark? California?
I think this post nails the actual problem, for researchers at least—AI hallucinations would simply not be a problem in academic work if we’d not normalized citation-as-signaling rather than actual engagement—you can only cite a fake paper if you’re not in the habit of reading the papers you cite
(you can really tell their parents are millennials)
I stopped by one of our local elementary schools and had a chance to talk to the fifth graders about music. Some of their favorite artists: Justin Timberlake, Arcade Fire, Miley Cyrus, Metallica, Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, and MF Doom
I guess I need to start reading up on the CSEd literature on "trial-and-terror" debugging
Welp. CHI reviews might suck but at least there's Hades II
🚨 There’s still time to support the transit bill:
1. Fill out your contact information
3. Under "firm/business" put "self"
4. Under "representation" put "self"
5. Under "position" choose subject matter "SB2111" and "proponent"
6. Under "testimony" choose "record of appearance only"
7. "Submit"
Me, this morning: "Let me just make a quick Canvas announcement to students that Canvas is down"
Happy second deadline extension to all who celebrate #ISLS2026
Citation practices were already a bit sketchy in academia without AI, but luckily AI has supercharged the problem. Maybe this is what Sam Altman meant by "PhD-level intelligence"?
the maga constitution doesn’t allow any institution, public or private, to explicitly work to ameliorate racial inequality but allows the government to racially profile
Wait until you get to use the broken Word macros to format the final document in production! I almost gave up on the article last time
Thank you to everyone at TOCE for the most low friction review process! The amount of work that has gone into providing resources for authors and reviewers is appreciated!
We advance a more expansive framing in which music and coding are mutually reinforcing, and which recognizes the inherent heterogeneity in how learners engage with both domains.
We argue that even when broader goals were stated, this work often defaulted to cognitive individualistic models of learning centered on conventional computing engagement.
In this paper, we look at the aims of a slice of CS education research that integrates music and coding, finding that music is largely positioned as motivational context or as material for computing.
Our article "Computational Thinking and Epistemic Heterogeneity: A Critical Review of Music+Coding" is now available as a Just Accepted paper in @acmtoce.bsky.social dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...
Trying to find clipart of an eighth note for a graphic I'm making and somehow ended up with this monstrosity (which I did not ask for)
Pre-conference workshop on homebrewing? 👀
Honestly, it might be a fairly fundable research topic nowadays!
STEAM: science, technology, engineering, alcohol, and math
Besides the obvious issues, I actually think that engaging kids in science through brewing beer would work really well
