Woohoo!! My minicomic as syllabus for my new Comics in Education class is live!! Took forever. I put everything I could into it & thrilled how it all came together. Class is off to a great start & excited for where we're headed! Download/print your own on my site spinweaveandcut.com/comics-in-ed...

Students made their first minicomics in my intro making course - mostly standard format but this student, a first time maker(!), did something so off the charts I’m still reeling from it! & he made like 12 of them for his classmates! A paper engineering feat of flipbookery as well as killer drawing!
This is exactly what I've been up to this past year at NPR -- making prototypes of what an audience facing archive of the Tiny Objects on the Tiny Desk can look like! It's the object of my desire ;) since day one and an amalgam of all my interests: archives, digital memorialization & creative tech!
So excited and honored to be the guest on the latest episode of Sleeping With Celebrities, as the wonderful @johnmoe.bsky.social and I drone on about the history of the Tiny Desk, with an emphasis on the doodads and tchotchkes that line the shelves. Sweet dreams, friends!

going to be using “made up words from consulting firms” a lot
all of this. when my uni announced our 4 pillars I just about choked: ai, careers, curriculum of the future (?!), & student success - nothing about learning, growth. Nothing about our community. Just made up words from consulting firms. We're throwing away what we could be to check off ticks...
wish i had this during the comic building assignment of HCI in grad school
Joe Quesada has been doing absolute nuts and bolts comic storytelling in his newsletter for a few months now, and they're really absolutely great stuff. You've likely heard me say Size Is Meaning, but he hits the ideas a lot harder and wider in this one.

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon. Part of a lawsuit by @acls1919.bsky.social, @modernlanguage.bsky.social + @historians.org

This is absolutely hilarious and deserves a Veep-style TV adaptation.
It's stunning how ignorant the DOGE bros were who were sent into agencies. Justin Fox cannot even articulate in his own words what his "present understanding of DEI" is: he can't even formulate a coherent sentence about it. I wouldn't hire him for basic tech support. #NEH youtu.be/jomaMvItnew?...

the part where it links Reddit users across communities…its upsetting how Not Hard the methodology is. They practically prompt engineered their way to deanonymization. The prompts are v interesting. made me Actually See the bad side of how good it is at turning unstructured data into structured data
Large-scale online deanonymization with LLMs shows how easily pseudonymous users can now be re-identified from unstructured text alone. When discussing our EJMR paper at NBER SI 2023 Catherine Tucker argued that rising compute would soon erode online anonymity. The future may already be here.
i feel this generally honestly that i have to put disclaimers and make everything lukewarm i miss ruthless scathing writing
i’m tired of every paper (even critical ones) on societal impact of AI starting by both-siding the “benefits” and risks/harms of AI in academia, i would like us to arrive at a collective reckoning that we don’t need to play both sides. it's totally legit to clearly state just the harms. period
I will say im the type of person who prefers critique to pick my (design) work apart, so that I can grow. I’ve kinda wanted a mentor like the guy from Whiplash. but I know what to filter out & what to work on bc I’ve developed a solid eye & wont Completely Crumble. I can confidently argue wrt design

Nikita Prokopov points out all the inconsistencies, in the icons of Tahoe, the new Mac operating system. The “fifty shades of new” made my day. If you can’t find a good metaphor, using no icon is better than using a bad, confusing, or nonsensical icon. tonsky.me/blog/tahoe-i...
