Did you imagine a cage fight in a courtroom? Did you imagine a world where people would choose the villain that gave their data to Cambridge Analytica over the villain that thrives on breaking success for the illusion of power? We all agree they're doing it for the money, right?

@dataandme @posit_pbc Sorry to hear this, Mara. You have been the top recommendation to all the students I have taught R. Looking forward to your next venture and guiding young people your way. Best of luck!;

@SVecrumba @bunsenbernerbmd Thank you. I sent the 🔗 to my kids so my grandpuppies are safe.

@lakshmyrkrish @PhDVoice @AcademicChatter The data export and rdf abilities of Zotero are spectacular. Used to use EndNote, but analysis of the literature was next to impossible.

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

Our lobbyist has asked for a campus exemption to the new ‘Don’t Drag Law’ — the current language would prevent wearing robes at graduation.

This paper is up for discussion in a related research group. The potential for abuse seems high. Curious about other's thoughts on this paper: https://t.co/iF5LgAaAQH

I may be too small to ask, but would love to hear opinions from @timnitGebru, @emilymbender, or @mmitchell_ai

@ThePhDPlace Adjacent knowledge assimilation

[Brenda Thomson @bthomson2]

@ThePhDPlace I have written enough to produce three full dissertations. However, I am once again reorganizing, reassembling, rewriting, and recreating major portions for my candidacy. Ugh! But Yay!!

[Brenda Thomson @bthomson2]

I am giving a new platform a chance. POST is building a social media platform that appears to be headed down a rational path. Check it out here: https://t.co/Cra43bpv2B

[Brenda Thomson @bthomson2]

Checks out.

WTAF is this?!?

[Florida Times-Union @jaxdotcom]

Florida female student athletes have to report their menstrual history to play: When they got their first period, when they had their last one, etc. A third party has access to that info, and parents and doctors are raising red flags https://t.co/172JNDanBL @katikokal
