My book Cultural Analytics in R: A Tidy Approach has just been published! It showcases how tidy data can be used in cultural analytics workflows, from text analysis, machine learning, network science, etc. Check it out: link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

Am I the only one who is amazed that these dudes are straight-up writing horrible undergraduate essays in their text messages?

GPT Conversation that starts with "Explain Agamben's Notion of homo sacer" and gets this result: Explain agamben's notion of homo sacer ChatGPT said: Alright, fam, let me break this down, like blocks for a 5-year-old, bruh. So there’s this dude, Giorgio Agamben, and he’s like a super deep thinker, right? He talks about this idea called homo sacer (fancy Latin words, bruh), which means something like “sacred man,” but not in the cool way you’d think, dude. Imagine there’s a guy who’s so left out from the rules of society, fam, that no one can protect him. Like, bruh, people can hurt him, and it’s not even considered a crime. But, and here’s the kicker, bruh—this same guy can’t be sacrificed in any religious way either. He’s stuck in this weird in-between zone where he’s like invisible to the law and religion, dude. It’s like being a ghost, but still alive, bruh. Agamben uses this idea to talk about how governments, fam, can sometimes put people in a situation where they have no rights or protections—like prisoners, refugees, or anyone pushed to the edge of society, bruh. It’s like they exist, but the rules don’t apply to them in a fair way, fam. Wild, right? 😮 So yeah, dude, Agamben’s basically saying, "Yo, watch out for systems that treat people like that, because it’s super messed up, bruh." Hope that makes sense, fam!
