Sometimes, the pictures of you in the background of public comment really tell a story.

[Jessi Murray @jessimurray]

I have @jessimurray on bluesky if you’re there. I also dunno if I’m going to try to revive my Mastodon presence (in bio), etc, but I no longer feel good about being on twitter really so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Very clearly related to why Coded Bias was a much better documentary than that one where a bunch of former tech dudes sadly said “we had no idea we were destroying democracy” (The Social Dilemma)

[Jeremy Howard @jeremyphoward]

All 7 women in this survey said "no" to "Is an AGI likely to cause civilizational disaster if we do nothing?".

6/7 warned of that narrative distracting from corporate power grabbing and other immediate risks.

Only 5/15 men said "no" to this question.

(p-value for χ² = 0.014)

@cruickshank @oowm I appreciated this thread https://t.co/qk5ZVAFcaA

[Dr. Casey Fiesler is no longer on here @cfiesler]

Well @mashable is out here spreading misinformation. Bluesky does not “own everything you post” according to the TOS provision quoted in this article. How do I know? I did a research study on social media copyright licenses. 🧵https://t.co/lXFirINAvO

@MikellTaylor If you get any of your own I’d take one 👀 (or if @maiab has more to spare)

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

Fact-check: True

@SheRidesABike @baileymedilo Side patio at Ada’s is so clutch

[Jessi Murray @jessimurray]

Also the fact is that the beneficiaries of the security feature were partially the verified individuals but more so the audience who would understand whether a tweet they saw was authentic. Verification/security should have been something Twitter invested in not tried to monetize

[Jessi Murray @jessimurray]

Verification wasn’t about denoting who was popular— it was a security feature that happened to often be more necessary for popular accounts. Removing the security aspect of it means that the core value prop was erased. That’s why no one wants it anymore.

[Jessi Murray @jessimurray]

Next time Elmo wants a feature, make him write out the user stories.

[Jessi Murray @jessimurray]

I sent out my goodbye email at work yesterday (today is my last day) and amusingly enough, I have gotten far more Instagram requests for my dog’s account than LinkedIn requests for me. (Admittedly I was already connected to many on LI but I still enjoy it)

[b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie]

interesting to note that clarence thomas is a stickler for administrative procedure when it comes to whether you’re allowed to challenge the state’s decision to kill you https://t.co/Vq3xOHajWC

My prediction is that #LoveIsBlindLive will start once all the traffic switches over to HBO for Succession.

[Jessi Murray @jessimurray]

Glad I’m not on pager duty

[Jessi Murray @jessimurray]

@lucssidy Also I love MA fake holidays and that I get a random long weekend next weekend.

[Jessi Murray @jessimurray]

@lucssidy Have you run into people calling shopping carts carriages yet? People used to not believe me that that was a thing.

[Jessi Murray @jessimurray]

Remembering when my old building manager ripped up my rent check that I put in the box over the weekend instead of on Friday so that he could also give me a “failure to pay” fee in addition to a late fee. Cost me $150. Cap the fees to disincentivize weaponizing them.

[Hannah Krieg @hannahkrieg]

This is so fucking embarrassing.

[Jessi Murray @jessimurray]

This poem by Syrian poet Maram Al-Masri just fucking gutted me.

[Jessi Murray @jessimurray]

(I’m switching departments, but going to avoid putting all the details on Twitter right now. Need to figure out what kind of presence I should have online etc etc, but wanted to share the news with friends!)

[Jessi Murray @jessimurray]

Here we go! #govtech
