Hanging out with @nolauren.bsky.social in Seoul and we stumbled upon... edible Crocs?? Yes, they are waffles stuffed with chocolate that look like the greatest ever shoes, Crocs. Shoes both practical and delicious. cc: @jenserventi.bsky.social.

Interesting thread about Javier's (AI) agents.

Javier Cha@javiercha.bsky.social · 6d ago

At our Playing Heaven #DH2026 mini-conference, a Chinese graduate student came up to me after one of the panel sessions and was puzzled by my Tang–Song Confucian knowledge-distillation agent's taxonomy, which grouped "roots and branches" 本末 together with "political economy" 理財.

Never forget what Trump, his grifting cronies, and his psychopathic claque did to us during COVID. Never forgive. Fauci was a hero, and so was everyone else who fought tooth and nail against the virus, the President, his sycophantic servants, and the zombie hordes. I pray this GOP stunt backfires.

"Let's put the 'fun' in 'funding'" -- Lisa Spiro. (Agreed!) #DH2026

Only the oldheads will get this one.

Bento boxes are the new muffins?!?! 🤯

I spent all morning cooking that food, James. Anything for DH!

James Cummings@jamescummings.bsky.social · last wk.

Got to say, I'm loving the @schmidtsciences.bsky.social bento box lunch at #DH2026!

#DH2026 The Schmidt Sciences team (me and Maya) will be doing a lunchtime talk in room 104 at 1PM today. Come on by to learn about our grantmaking! (Note: We have boxed lunches 🍱, but only enough for the folks who signed up in advance! So if you didn't sign up, no lunch pilfering, please! 😂 ).

Earlier this summer, I was elected as the inaugural Chair of the Hong Kong Association for Digital Humanities (HKADH). I'm proud to announce that I just fulfilled one of my primary campaign promises: to join @adho-org.bsky.social as a constituent organization.

Great presentations this morning from the Playing Heaven team, funded by @schmidtsciences.bsky.social. #DH2026.

Here's Javier Cha @javiercha.bsky.social introducing the "Playing Heaven" LLMs and AI for Historical Analysis Project + Workshop, come join us today at #DH2026!

#DH2026 Important tip for presenters: if you are bringing slides on a USB thumb drive to load on the conference room laptop, make sure your drive is formatted to be read by a Windows machine (eg exFAT).

Even the free WiFi at the Daejeon Convention Center, shared by a thousand people, is giving me ~90Mbps both up and down. #DH2026

Brett Bobley@brettbobley.bsky.social · last wk.

I know it is almost a cliche at this point, but my hotel WiFi here in Korea is 554Mbps (down and up) while the last hotel I stayed at in the US was 4Mbps.

The K-internet is so fast, your post arrived yesterday, despite the heat. 😎

Looking forward to #DH2026 in Daejeon! I'll be there along w/ my colleague Maya Moretta, representing the HAVI program from @schmidtsciences.bsky.social.

Just two days to finish carving all those statues for Trump's garden. How's that going?

!!! So excited to see all of this coming up! 👀

Crowdsourcing projects are a trip. It takes thousands of hours to research, collect, catalog, curate, convert, crowdsource, compute, check, worry, sweat, and carry on. And then one day ... poof! A sneak preview of the major changes coming soon to @ccp-org.bsky.social! 👇👇👇

Wow, already so much basil. I just pruned my plants and, well, I had to make pesto. (If you need pesto, hit me up.)

New update includes the Kelvin scale, for truly "slow and low" cooking.

Currently doing something I never thought I'd need to do: applying a software update to my oven.

1/ LLMs learn narrative from their pretraining data but what narrative content is actually in there? It turns out narrative is wildly unevenly distributed across sources and topics. New preprint with @andrewpiper.bsky.social @elliottash.bsky.social @mariaa.bsky.social:

Important thread from Jason.

Jason Rhody@jasonrhody.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Reading the State of Scholarship Report left me with the same feeling I had when leading disinformation work at SSRC and people said "I love democracy but I'm really worried about voter fraud." This report is "I love the humanities but I'm really worried about scholarly standards.”

If not now, when? This is an emergency.

Action! Action Now.

Knicks - Spurs. Wednesday.

I'm in NYC tonight so I just walked over to MSG to see this huge Knicks celebration on 7th avenue.

It has been TEN years since the premiere of Andy Van Dam's "Hypertext" movie, the product of a 1974 NEH grant to test using computers to teach the humanities. @mkirschenbaum.bsky.social & MITH hosted the screening. Here's @doctorow.pluralistic.net's take: boingboing.net/2016/05/03/a...

Astounding, visionary video about hypertext from 1976
