I wrote this essay based on my prison experience on dangers of 'society-of-one': Living by different personalized truths in both the mental and physical worlds, with little chance to experience the truths of others. [Open version: archive.is/Sc8Cg]
Have a feeling that the clown-in-chief will not end his second term.
Trump has just appointed this woman Director of National Intelligence. A pro-Russian, pro-Putin mouthpiece. To remind you the UK shares intelligence with the US. Worse than worst case scenario.
Trump is ultimately an influencer-turned-politician. His 'ideas' should never distract us from his real nature.
I would expect at least STS scholars to acknowledge the impact of handling a non-human disrupter, the COVID pandemic, on the economy which has imposed big losses for most ruling parties.
And to clarify: this isn’t just the first time since WW2 that all incumbent parties in developed countries lost vote share. It’s the first time since this data was first recorded in 1905. Essentially the first time in the history of democracy (universal suffrage began in 1894).
Puzzles me that 'creator/influencer studies' have yet to be linked to the rich body of research on television and talk radio of 1980-90s.
As a digital cultural scholar, I think we are fundamentally ignoring the devastating impact that misogynist dude bro creators are having on young men. The dudes who look up to M*sk, R*gan, T*te, and P*ul brothers are going to keep voting in the future and we need a plan
At last, Meta is publicly admitting to the fact that it was never the neutral company it claims to be. nytimes.com/2024/11/04/tec…
Repeat after me: the “working class” did not overwhelmingly vote for Trump. The WHITE working class and their billionaire leaders did.
Google Scholar now adds AI outlines to research papers i.mtrbio.com/aulkrxzkzb
Three papers we have been working on for some time were finally published within a month. In this short interview, I explain how these three papers will shape the research agenda of our "Centre for Sociology of Humans and Machines" in the coming years. tcd.ie/research/resea…
Academics will be all "Decolonize higher ed!" on Twitter and then six months later be like "I'm delighted to announce that I will be joining Ivy College as the Henry Kissinger Chair of Ethnic Cleansing and Extrajudicial Murder Apologism"
The core political question about AI is this: Can we imagine a kind of artificial intelligence that is NOT based on prediction?
What is a 'Troll'? In our new book, Digital Media Metaphors: A Critical Introduction, @Xiayp and I criticize how 'troll' downplays (a) the seriousness of harassment and discrimination, and (b) the level of organization of propaganda. E-book: doi.org/10.4324/978103…… (or DM me!)
Malinformation entails manipulation of context of truthful information. A common and effective form is to change proportionality: Yes, let's say 3 people died because of a vaccine. But if you don't say this was out of a million cases, this is malinformation.
Recalculating "polarization" > An article to avoid the uncritical proliferation of technologically determinist perspectives and solutions 💪 by @snurb_dot_info et al buff.ly/48gYEZw @LadyAAmado @daniInnerarity @CatedraIDG_UPF @sgonzalezbailon
Excited to share that our book is now available for pre-order! An edited collection critically addressing metaphors for digital media! routledge.com/Digital-Media-…
Here is my conceptual model of what digital platforms do instead of what they are. See the article in the tweet above for an explanation.
Over the past year, I’ve heard repeatedly from human rights and IHL researchers—at every level, from bachelor’s to PhD to postdoc—that all the years and energy they’ve invested in the field now feel like a wasted effort, completely meaningless. Here's why:
