A friend who is a Muslim African immigrant to the US just sent this meme via WhatsApp and I am so touched because a native born American would never treat our most important secular holiday with such unironic reverence and goodwill.

I had never tried Gemini Deep Research before (and heard rave reviews from folks), so yesterday I decided to give it a go, asking a scholarly question I already know the answer to, so I could see how its response stacks up.
It’s had ~18 hours to process my query, and this is as far as it’s gotten.

I will miss Neil terribly, as will the whole @au-mtd.bsky.social community. He left behind a wife and daughter, and a large network of dedicated friends, colleagues, and collaborators. The world is richer for his life, and poorer for his loss.

I am beyond devastated to share the news that Neil W. Perry, my @au-mtd.bsky.social PhD advisee and dear friend, died yesterday in a car accident.
Our institution hasn’t yet posted the news, but Methodist University, where he worked, has a nice memorial for him:

Love to see @economist.com going all-in on non-sequitir absurdism. It's an immanent critique of the epistemic failure of news media in times of burgeoning fascism.

For those of you asking about #SoundStudies, this is a VERY quick and incomplete response I provided my student. If/when I have time, maybe I’ll put together a more comprehensive public syllabus. I’m sure there are already plenty of them out there.

The president.
Of the United States.
Used artificial intelligence.
To generate a video of himself.
Defecating on the American people.
And there's no mention of it.
In the @nytimes.com.
Instead, they went with this pressing news.

For many years, I've loved the song "Ponta de Areia" by Wayne Shorter and Milton Nascimiento. Today I actually laid eyes on the song's namesake, right here in Niteroi, Brazil. Now I can't get it out of my head. 🇧🇷🎶⛰️

The top promoted streaming app on the App Store is a disinfo channel specializing in hate speech against PoC.
But DeICER app, which helps PoC inform one another about potential kidnapping/assault by illegal gangs, gets blocked because ICE = a protected class. 🙃

Wow, I got a settlement from the class action suit against ParkMobile, amounting to $1… which I can only use in $0.25 increments. Definitely worth exposing my personal data to thieves forever.

I watched "All The President's Men" last night w @duniabest.bsky.social, our 15-yo, & a friend who's an editor at the NYT.
Every day now, Trump does worse than Nixon on his worst day, and the gatekeepers of US democracy turn away.
How far we've fallen, how hard we're going to hit rock bottom.
