The only reason I have stayed (mostly) sane as an academic is because when I took my first job, my family said, "Bloom where you're planted." If you knew my fam, you'd know that's the last thing I'd have expected to hear. But it set me up to just do the work I wanted to do, not climb or compare.

It's launch day for the data donation platform we're using to explore Australians' relationship with the TikTok algorithm(s) - fantastic ABC Story Lab piece here. Includes links to the project and platform so you can sign up now and help us track the TikTok election! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...
Peering inside his TikTok viewing history, one user finds it is 'not just raw, pointless data'
A new tool created by researchers at the Queensland University of Technology is allowing people to see themselves through the eyes of the algorithm.

In an effort to avoid accusations of cheating, some students are recording their own screens for hours at a time or using keystroke loggers.
