ThanksWalter

@khadastrophic Didn’t Jimmy Carter write this same exact book and win a Nobel peace prize?

I am still processing why a white man on morning television wondering aloud about stripping a Black man of his accomplishments and source of income felt so threatening. I do know the issue with this interview was more than just tone.

@APPCPenn This explains a lot.

New from the Annenberg Public Policy Center: A majority of Americans can't recall most First Amendment rights apnews.com/press-release/…

"Those who do not understand the rights protected by the Constitution can neither cherish nor invoke them." Kathleen Hall Jamieson, on our new civics survey. prn.to/47lEcGt

This is how you do it, folks, one of the best and the brightest, kindest and most compassionate who has ever come through Annenberg. And he came through with joy, with concern, and with power & leaves to do good.

So elon has decided that I need to get a notification every time some idiotic idea escapes the wet sponge of his head.

@elonmusk @CommunityNotes I dunno man, do you maybe have a lawyer on staff you can ask instead of a bunch of internet randos?

This sounds insane if accurate! @CommunityNotes, please check

@cratebeats @AnkhiThakurta They will be classic at some point in the future

@AnkhiThakurta I try to convince myself to left those weird-looking sentences sit for a spell. Maybe when I come back it won’t look so bad lol

Me: I should make thoughtful decisions that set me up for success Also Me: It's acceptable to spend five hours writing one sentence and then deleting it because it makes the paragraph look slightly weird* *Don't ask me to explain what this means, I don't actually know

@JennHenrichsen Yay!!!

It’s super weird watching Grad Student Twitter which is all like “just got maced, leg broken, here’s my bail fund” and Administrative Twitter which is all like “proud to announce Gumblethorp hall won the tasters award for best new wallpaper” all on my timeline at once.

@gingasvr Agree. Makes no sense. I have zero desire to have 4 conversation options with a bartender.

The people getting mad at Ai mods for Skyrim and Fallout have no ground to stand on imo. 1) the normal vanilla dialogue for Bethesda games are complete nonsensical trash, the stories are basic and predictable. The only exception is Fallout:NV which was Not made by Bethesda. At least the Ai dialogue makes the game semi interesting 2) people seem to think it’s “taking away jobs” from VAs. These are 10+ year old games with mods made by the community in their free time.. and releasing it for free, nobody is making any $ from the Ai mods 🤦‍♀️ 3) saying “it’s trash doesn’t add anything” is objectively false. You can ask NPCs for directions, how their day is going, what they think of another NPC, how to do quests etc. it literally adds so much life to the game it’s scary #vr #ai

@AnnenbergPenn Fabulous !

@kinjaldave7 Great job!!!

I have gone jogging 10 times in the last 31 days. I'm really proud of myself.

@JingWang0815 @IovenePaola @ma_zhiying This is so cool!!!

Teach-in talk/zine-making workshop on White Paper movements at Univeristy of Chicago Many thanks to the Center for East Asian Studies at Univeristy of Chicago as well as amazing colleagues Julie Chu, @IovenePaola & @ma_zhiying

@gingasvr It's true. I blame Facebook for trying to shoehorn developers into types of experiences. So many of the innovative things from 3-6 years ago aren't even supported anymore.

Just my opinion, but the VR industry has slowed down pretty significantly, there’s absolutely less interest than there was before. If you’re a content creator just doing VR stuff or doing 1 game? I don’t know if there’s really growth in that right now. That’s why I branched out to Ai stuff awhile back, you have to constantly be hopping on new trends

@llamasjr @GEMLab_MTL @jqnsrp congratulations!!!! we're so proud of you!

@Penn @AnnenbergPenn Love that space and that art

Known as Philadelphia’s “Mayor of the Arts,” Sam Maitin created pieces with vibrant colors and playful shapes—and the “Celebration” mural in @AnnenbergPenn is no exception. Read More: bit.ly/4cw8oki

Thank you Jean Haskell for writing this letter to the editor asking our mayor for compassion & collaboration when it comes to substance use & OD. Harm reduction is evidence-based and widely supported by medical and public health experts. Read the letter: inquirer.com/opinion/letter…

As promised, @LJamesMcGuigan did indeed roast @JoeProf at @AnnenbergPenn’s First Books event but only after getting a little toasted first over subheadings. amazon.com/Selling-Americ…

@Sharronapearl @FreeLibrary How did I miss this??

@BricolageYumYum The pollen must flow!

I wish all this pollen was spice
