I don’t know who’s responsible for the lyrics on the Jaws theme in Apple Music, but I celebrate them.

It’s like teaching machines all over again. I don’t think centering our educational system around Duolingo and videos, and casting teachers/schools as necessary for childcare is a good way to think about educational technology. https://fortune.com/2025/05/20/duolingo-ai-teacher-schools-childcare/

In the midst of the rhetoric (and lies) about university finances really work, this is worth a read.
There are so many reasons university endowments can't make up for the dramatic cuts the Trump administration has planned for science.
Here are a few. Thanks to @donmoyn.bsky.social for the platform.

Enjoyed re-reading "The Victorian Internet" about the introduction of the telegraph, which enabled greater communication, shrunk the distances between us, and led to many experiences we see today online. Fairly quick and interesting read. #TechHistory #Internet #Technology

Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer.
Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵

Enjoyed re-reading The Victorian Internet. It looks at the telegraph, and how that launched a communications network with many of the promises & drawbacks we see with the Internet, plus parallels like instant news, spam, romance, encryption (sort of), & information overload.
