It was a pleasure to come to Zürich to give a guest lecture/workshop on #OpenData in the context of working with #SocialMedia data. Many thanks to Carlos Hartmann for the invitation! This was my first time talking to mostly B.A. students about this topic and I must say that I was very impressed by the smart questions and ideas that they had! #OpenScience #linguistics
Very nice villa (that happens to be the home of the English department at the University of Zürich)

What makes me deeply worried for the US is not how many I see scream in terror, because they know what Trump is doing.
What really scares me is, how many US citizens are silent, because they do not even realize that a fascist gang is tearing down every pillar of democracy in their country.
Apathy and ignorance is what made the Russian dictatorship possible.
The Russians did not wise up before all was lost. I sincerely hope the Americans are brighter and quicker.
@randahl Couldn't have made it here without Social Media. Share and share alike. Algorithms tuned to maximize rift.

#MAGA, 2024:
"I'm voting for #Trump because the #Democrats are going to get us into a war. We don't need the waste of money and lives. America First!"
Today:
"Pete #Hegseth Tells Top Generals ‘Prepare For #War’"
https://www.newsweek.com/pete-hegseth-war-generals-trump-10804089
The thing is though, these zombie morons have the attention span of a gnat, and their vacuous personalities and dimwit talking points are completely programmed by #socialMedia. They won't notice or care.

Things are coming together at @newsmast. Here’s the big idea we’re working on:
What if every community could have their own early-Twitter, driven by an own-branded mobile app, as easy to build as Facebook Groups?

#We commissioned an expert in online #violence against #WomensDay2022 in politics, Dr. Gabrielle Bardall, a fellow with the Centre for International Policy Studies at the University of Ottawa, to conduct an analysis of the tweets against me. What she found was extremely telling. Her report outlined that I was targeted by a “sustained and hostile violence against women in politics (VAWP) campaign” instigated by Rebel Media." https://thewalrus.ca/they-called-her-climate-barbie-she-fired-back/

I don't know how useful it is to tell people how "truly decentralized" Bluesky is, or that it's funded by the likes of Blockchain Capital, but-!
I do think it's worth promoting efforts like https://www.blackskyweb.xyz and https://northskysocial.com that work towards wrestling control of our online lives away from corporations back to us.
