My wife made some chocolate cake yesterday. Last night I saw some large crumbs in a bowl on the counter. I had some. I got worried. Her cake sucked. Turned out she cleaned the charcoal of food bits from the bottom of the oven and I ate some.

Jennifer, to offer a helpful bit instead of just hammering my hobby horse: I think you can do anonymous sharing on Zenodo, even without using an external tool, by using drafts. It's a bit of a workaround. Haven't tried it myself. Instructions are in here: daniellakens.blogspot.com/2026/08/whic...

Today's AI in law horror story: An appellate attorney used ChatGPT to summarize the appellate record. It got a lot of stuff wrong. He included the made-up facts in his brief. The NM Supreme Court dressed him down for half an hour and referred him to the disciplinary board.

I don’t think academics’ silence on a particular issue is necessarily telling, but I *do* think loudness on one part of an issue & consistent silence on another part of the same issue is, especially when the silence is on oppression of those most vulnerable.

When it comes to signing open letters about academic freedom, “We have to take a principled stand!” doesn’t work if there have been loads of other much more obvious and serious instances of violations of academic freedom to which you said absolutely nothing.

In a study by Lord, Jones, & @drashleybatastini.bsky.social, people saw experts whose evaluation was via telehealth less credible when cross-examination framed telehealth as less accurate (despite research not supporting this!). Experts should be prepared to discuss the validity of remote evals.

Folks I won’t tell you not to feel your feelings, but this is rage bait. He’s talking about expanding beyond politics into things like live sports.
Yeah, we want to expand it. "Breaking" is maybe the wrong word, but yes, we want to expand more and more so that Bluesky means not just one thing, not just liberal politics, for example. I will point to sports as an example from the last year. We've made a very concerted effort to bring on sports leagues and sports writers, and it's worked really well. There are a ton of sports conversations now on the app, and those people come here for the sports, not for the liberal politics. It's possible to expand.
