Oh #TACO, did you just lose the redistricting battle too? 🍊

Hey #TACO Tuesday 🌮

We are looking at a painting of St Liphardus - a 6th-century lawyer, hermit and abbot in Meung-sur-Loire near Orléans, France. He is wearing bishops clothing including a surplus and mitre and is holding a crook. On a lead is a small knee high green and blue dragon.

We’re very sorry sir but you cannot bring your emotional support dragon in here.

Libraries work because we do ✊️

Oh hey, it’s Tuesday again. Wondering if we’ll have #TACOs as usual.

One’s ability to get others to react to their ranting, erodes over time. Once you’ve shown you’re not actually insane, people adjust their reactions accordingly. Either you’re forced to capitulate or escalate. This administration believes it can win on bravado alone. It can’t

😂. Yeah, a big part of my life

An amazingly productive week in Utrecht at #SURF discussing and planning for the future of research project identification using #RAID organized by #ARDC.

If you’re a supporter of The Orange (of course you’re probably not on Bsky!) or know someone who is, a polite question: Did you really mean to vote for starting WWIII? Not accusing, just asking.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.

He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.

The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

Unbelievably Orban has conceded.

You know, even when it’s gerrymandered and the rules are still stacked in the despot’s favor, democracy can still be victorious.

Keep that in mind in November, GOP

It crossed my mind to wonder whether the entire #SCOTUS argument about birthright citizenship was actually just a bad #AprilFools joke.

When Public Access Policy Meets Publishing Power The United States has been creating policy on public access to federally funded research for the last 20 years. What can we learn from Elsevier’s attempts to shape it?

ANALYSIS of Elsevier's response to attempts to open access to US federally funded research katinamagazine.org/content/arti... "in this response, Elsevier ignores the value of research itself and of researchers’ labor in designing, implementing, and constructing a cogent narrative around a project."

Anyone see parallels between Putin invading Ukraine 🇺🇦 presuming the war would be over in 48 hours and the Orange 🍊 seeking a takeover of Iran from the air? Both in personal approach to power and hubris. 4 years on in the war with Russia bombing power plants and now the WH threatening same in ME

STM Plants a Flag About Responsible Use of Research Content in GenAI - The Scholarly Kitchen New STM Association paper seeks to foster a discussion about how GenAI systems can reliably incorporate scholarly research

Today in @scholarlykitchen.bsky.social I write about the STm Association’s discussion paper about responsible use of research content in Generative #AI #ArtificialIntelligence systems. It’s an important first step towards a productive conversation

Totally not cohesive, nor complete, but just totaled up the various documents that comprise the work on my book on #metadata; checked in at 122,483 words. #GettingThere

If you think you want to live in a world that is run by #AI Agents, just try dealing with customer service at #Comcast. Just think of the possibility that everything can function so poorly as that. That should disabuse you of any kind of thoughts that handing control to robots is a good idea

Remember, when news outlets first reported that Kash Patel was spending $75,000 of taxpayer money to fly an FBI Gulfstream jet to Milan so he could watch Olympic hockey, the official spokesasshole for the FBI had this to say:

Anyone even slightly surprised?

Tickets for the 1984 Olympics in L.A. were $3. Could it happen again? Organizers promise 1 million tickets for $28 each. But people who remember 1984 aren’t sure these Olympics will feel as accessible.

Organizers for the L.A. Olympics say they’re committed to Angelenos from all walks of life enjoying the Games’ return to their city. But based on the organizers’ early framework of ticket prices, many in the city are doubtful that the Olympics will be for them.
