Well, Happy f%$ing Thanksgiving everyone! nytimes.com/2017/11/21/tec… #LIS651

Coming full circle to how google can be all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ about the consequences of it's algorithms #LIS651

A friend who is in media is having a hard time landing a new position bc of her “klout score” ie her Personal social media following #LIS651

Google can't be this naive. It's too convenient a loophole from responsibility. I think Gillespie might be right that the algorithm is replacing prayer in our search for answers if we accept this. #LIS651

@armgardesign I think I mentioned this already in class but the day I came home from the hospital w my babies there were boxes of formula waiting for me from Similac. Both times. I sort of felt violated, but I can't really expliain why. #LIS651

Never underestimate the power of satire, of laughing at bullies, i.e. Charlie Hebdo, Mel Brooks, SNL, etc #LIS651

Nailed it. Facebook, Russians, anyone? Progress means largely experimenting on ourselves. #LIS651

I'm all for Lessig's "balance" model of proprietary vs open source, but I wish he addressed the diffs in how each was paid for #LIS651

How about addressing when tech is monetized (engineers, operators) and not (domestic labor)Hierarchy of jobs we value is patriarchy #LIS651

@the_warga Is "new luddites" an oxymoron? What about hipster artisanal pickle makers & DIY butchers? Also knitting and needlepoint are big now #LIS651

@kasey_calnan I believe this is exactly the attitude the Dadaists were trying to upend in the art world #LIS651

What would Walter Benjamin have thought of his words inspiring a $1,100 Gucci sweater?? theguardian.com/fashion/shortc… #LIS651

Curious how simultaneous rise of user centered info + global info technology influenced this. #LIS651

Worked in media (papers, mags) for 15 yrs. There was never talk of neutrality as an objective. Object ALWAYS to sell the brand. #LIS651

@Vksaunders34 Freakonomics guys - the podcast tho - people who rated their healthcare highest got the most of it, not the best of it #LIS651

@Vksaunders34 @RobinMPratt To paraphrase the book Freakonomics -The things that scare us and the things that actually kill us aren't the same things. #LIS651

Re "Being Analog" We created machines to contend with nature. If you think machines DGAF about what we want try taking on nature #LIS651

@Vksaunders34 Remember a study of Abacus v computer in adding contest. Computer was faster but the person w Abacus made fewer mistakes. #LIS651
