KAMI VINTON

We're at Kent room, starting with one of our top papers 'The Use of #blacklivesmatter in Russian and Iranian Race-Related Influence Operations on Twitter' by Kami Vinton; Dhiraj Murthy; Grace Kim; Drishti Gupta #ICA23 🎊

@TuckerCarlson Is it weird that I could predict which comments were supportive of @TuckerCarlson based on the presence or absence of a blue check? Is Twitter now the new season of Stranger Things? Like… it’s the upside down on a whole new level.

Good evening

@TuckerCarlson You are literally saying that even if elections are fair (i.e., reflect the will of the people), they are rigged because people are 1) stupid or 2) don’t watch F[ake]OX News. Wow. How is that not elitist? Scared to ask, “How low does your bar go?”

The state of our election systems in many places is indeed embarrassing, but so honestly, were the midterm results. Republicans told us they were going to sweep. A red tsunami. We cautiously believed them. But they didn’t sweep. Joe Biden wasn’t punished. What happened?

@THEJordonBrown @elonmusk Haha! The problem with that is that hell (i.e., Texas) already did freeze over. We are now in the post-thaw (read apocalyptic) phase now.

For today’s #TeamTuesday, @ut_austin_cml’s @stemwithgrace interviews research assistant and lab member, Akaash Kolluri, about his research on #PoxVerifi, misinformation, and his experience in the CML See full video at youtu.be/rl51p-85Hms @UTGoodSystems @dhirajmurthy

@neiltyson Probably not write a sarcastic musical piece.

If women ran the country, and they passed laws affecting men’s reproductive organs, I wonder what the men would do?

@kelly_ques Bartended for a group of hostile Elk’s Lodge members before the meeting to decide the fate of their elected leader who sexually harassed me. Turned out okay. I made a bunch of money and new allies that night. He was censured & stripped of his title.

What’s the scariest thing you’ve ever done?

@sugartimexxx @GidgitVonLaRue @kelly_ques Serious question. This happened to me & I told the truth, but felt guilty afterwards. My 5 year-old kid asked me point blank, yes or no, “Is Santa Claus is real?” Like not the “spirit” of Santa… but literal Santa. I told the truth. Was that right?

Have you ever lied to your partner?

@kelly_ques Yup. Not by habit, but for the same reasons most people lie to anyone. It’s usually out of fear of judgment or disappointment. Sometimes… often in the interest of peace to avoid a fight. Those who say they *never lie, are lying now.

@THEJordonBrown If by “without an establishment bias” he means “without evidence.” Then yeah. Also, I wonder if he applies this same philosophy when drinking water? Technically, sewage is mostly water. Beautiful. #nofilterneeded

@BarryNNeuman1 @jess_camm @Ariel_Comedy @MuellerSheWrote @JimmyKimmelLive Thrown, not wasted. But I prefer… Thrown, then owned! 🥰

Watch @JimmyKimmelLive tonight

@JosephineLukito @MarkBoukes Wait! I thought that was a picture of me! 😂

@MarkBoukes 😂

Every year again: Academics trying to wrap up their conference paper(s!) one week before the annual deadline.

Student loan forgiveness (that helps individuals)… costs the gov ~$400 billion - Covid PPP cost the gov ~$800 billion (small business got shafted—it enriched millionaires) AND estimated ~$98 billion in FRAUD? npr.org/2022/10/12/112… 🤦🏼‍♀️

For this #TeamTuesday we talked to @ut_austin_cml's Tanvi Anand! Her work researches vaping content on TikTok and is in collaboration with @gracekongphd (medicine.yale.edu/profile/grace_…) and @dhirajmurthy @UTAustin Funded by @NIDAnews

@kelly_ques I don’t know… There’s so many choices!

If hell was on earth, where would it be located?

@danikathleen Gawd… I love you. ❤️ You’re doing it perfect.

@abughazalehkat She left off voting rights, marriage equality, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. You know. Basic human rights.

hell yeah

@ConquistadorRaj @nytimes

@nytimes The fascist media wants their own rule and no obstruction, hence.

@RickiDerek All while SCOTUS currently has its knee bearing down on voting rights. :-/

Please please tell me the fact that gas goes up won’t affect what’s really on the ballot! Ya know, democracy, the environment, woman’s rights, personal freedoms, voting rights…oh, and not having insurrection supporting nut jobs in charge!
