I’m going to try to avoid posting “OMG did you see what Trump/Musk did?” content unless really relevant to Europe getting its shit together. There’s only a limited amount of energy in my life and I know where it needs to be focused.

In this new format of the recently launched SAGE journal Dialogues on Digital Society, our @mitpress.bsky.social book Algorithms of Resistance shorturl.at/deLVW has been reviewed by 3 scholars to which we then respond. Smart way to dust off book reviewing! All Open Access, including our book :)
