My #ica25 dinner tonight was this fantastic ice cream with @abbysimmerman.bsky.social and a glass of red wine with @msaradinlebedikova.bsky.social at the SECAC reception. Ngl, loved both.

Hey #ica25 I know I've plugged this pretty hard all conference, but it would really help us if you could fill in this brief questionnaire which will inform the prioritisation of the platforms, data types, collection mechanisms, etc. that we are going to develop in the @internetobservatory.org.au

Walking into the stunning Red Rocks Amphitheatre, it really hit me and I shed some happy tears.

What an honor and a privilege to be here at #ICA25, doing what I love, presenting my research, seeing and meeting people I admire, and visiting this place I, as a music lover, absolutely adore.

Hey #ICA25!

I had a great time today at the @icahdq.bsky.social Journalism Studies PhD Colloquium presenting my research on conspiracy thinking, media repertoires, and voting behavior.

Huge thanks to @jonathanhendrickx.bsky.social for being a great discussant!

People might think you need computational power to handle data, but in reality, all you need is a silly little drink.

Thanks @j-maria.bsky.social!🍹

I just wanted to let you all know that the council has decided on the best mentor and co-author (it’s me, I am the council) because who else prepares such a cool surprise celebration of a new publication?
Thank you so much, @macicak.bsky.social! 🤍

🎉 My first publication ever is out!

In this study on conspiracy thinking in the Czech population, @macicak.bsky.social and I focused on how media and political attitudes—especially trust—relate to the inclination to see secret plots behind events.

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science!

Science should be a safe space for women, girls, and all gender identities. An inclusive space is a safe space.

My Fulbright stay at @bellisariograded.bsky.social is officially over. Despite the broligarchic whirlwind around, I loved every day of it, and it profoundly helped me to organize my thoughts and navigate where I want to go next.

My Fulbright experience with @bellisariograded.bsky.social ends in two weeks, but I still enjoy every second here.

For example, this morning, I attended this great and mindblowing public lecture by @saschameinrath.bsky.social, which was packed with both information & fun film references.

I've noticed that all the coverage of the idiocy that is DOGE accepts a set of conservative assumptions: government is too big, bureaucracy is out of control, regulations are presumptively bad, etc. The only question being asked is whether this effort can succeed in its noble goal.
Calling the richest person in the world (who is also a massive racist and far right ideologue)’s attack on the liberal state (worker protections, civil rights, unions, food safety, social security etc) “ambitions to tame Washington’s sprawling bureaucracy” is genuinely evil. We are absolutely cooked
Exclusive: Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are sending representatives to agencies across the federal government, four people familiar with the matter said, to begin preliminary interviews that will shape the tech executives’ enormous ambitions to tame Washington’s sprawling bureaucracy.

The six biggest banks in the U.S. have quit the Net Zero Banking Alliance just before Trump's inauguration.

The alliance was formed with the goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

Let this serve as another reminder that so-called “corporate social responsibility” is a sham.

A less discussed aspect of normalization of the far right is the attacks on anyone using pre-normalization assessments and terminology.

This has been going on for over a decade, in Europe and the U.S., where the term “far right” is being squeezed tighter and tighter until it only refers to Nazis.
