Do you work across computational methods, social sciences, and the humanities? Submit to Text as Data 2026! 📄 One-page submissions 🔓 Non-archival ⏰ Due August 1 📍 October 5 @UCBerkeley tada2026.org

Podcasts are an important part of the media ecosystem but woefully understudied. A year ago @blitt.bsky.social, @dallascard.bsky.social and I put out SPoRC, a new dataset of 1.1M podcast episodes. Today at #IC2S2, Dallas and I led a tutorial for how you can work with SPoRC and collect your own data!

The Tech Solidarity Lab is on the move! This fall, I'm joining the University of Michigan School of Information as the John Derby Evans Associate Professor. I'm grateful to the students and colleagues at CMU for what we built together. The work continues, just a little deeper in the Rust Belt. 💙

Text as Data has been a wonderful, long-running, non-archival workshop for empirical research at the intersection of AI and social science (especially work involving text). After a few years off, it will be happening again this year as a one-day event in early October!

It is wild how quickly Claude Code lets you progress from rapid prototyping to feature creep.

It's somehow so endearing to still encounter occasional glitches like this

Out of curiosity, how are you all dealing with the security risks that arise when using a system like Claude Code?

This major release of my lab's annotation tool, Potato 2.0, was a long time in the making but I'm really excited by all the new features (and quality of life improvements). If you're doing data annotation of any kind, check it out. Need any other features? We'd love to hear from you too!

Excited to get this work out in the world at #chr2025 (with Sabrina Baur, Mackenzie Cramer, Anna Ho and Tom McEnaney) -- asking: how much do contemporary songs tell stories, and how has that changed over the past half century? anthology.ach.org/volumes/vol0...

Lavinia Dunagan and @dallascard.bsky.social find implicit references to bible verses using a combination of neural embeddings and text similarity—neither is enough on its own #CHR2025

The real partisan "God Gap" in religious rhetoric among members of Congress wasn't most pronounced during GW Bush. Study shows it really showed up in 2nd term Obama & was largest during first term Trump. (Note Dems increased religious language too in recent years.) anthology.ach.org/volumes/vol0...

Very excited to be attending #CHR2025 this year! Currently in Amsterdam, waiting for my flight to Luxembourg!
