It is worth saying this publicly: Live streaming a killing is the sort of disgusting inhumane things that ISIS terrorists do, not civilized societies. The kind of people who glorify snuff films shouldn’t be anywhere close to power.

Recommend Josh Rothman on the global AI panic in today’s New Yorker, and not just because he opens by quoting Neuromancer. Seriously, though, this is a highly discerning look at what may be going on. (I’d link, but I’m a subscriber and assume it’s behind a paywall.)

. @joyowango.bsky.social describes how we have entered the fourth era of information management. The 1st was the library era “can we find it”; the 2nd was the digital era “can we access it”; the 3rd open science era “can we reuse it”; now the AI era “ can machines understand and trust it” #NISOPlus

We have begun the #NISOPlus Global Online event. Very excited to hear our keynote speaker @joyowango.bsky.social She is describing the Africa PID Alliance and the work on DOCiD. #PIDs

Heading south of San Diego on the 5, there’s an exit for Mile of Cars Way. Perhaps it’s a maritime terminal for importing cars, or possibly it just describes the traffic in California!

Incredible way to beat the drinking-on-the-job stories there, Kash, old buddy, old pal.

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

Hey #TACO Tuesday 🌮

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

From a fellow librarian, trustee, and patron, sending solidarity to library workers across the world on National Library Workers Day Libraries work because we do ✊️

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

😂. 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
