Our best theme paper goes to Mark J. Hill for "Catching Stray Balls: Football, fandom, and the impact on digital discourse". This paper investigates how real-world events trigger toxic behaviour that spreads across unrelated online communities. Losses have a stronger impact than wins!

Teach coding to novices in higher education (e.g., intro to python)? Finding AI has made the process difficult/less successful? Have novel ways of integrating/overcoming LLMs? Want to have a chat about this? Drop me a message! Organising a cross-institutional/discipline group to discuss the topic.

Dear DH/CompSci/coding people - anyone know of formal or informal discussions taking place about experiences/best practices for teaching coding and integrating (or not) LLMs? I'd be keen to hear how others are managing it and whether we can learn anything from each other. #programming #teaching

Bit of research I'm working on. Football matches both engage fans more (they post more on Reddit, in this case), and make them (their posts) more negative on the whole (using Cardiff NLP's roberta twitter model). Give me my nobel prize, plz. #coyg
