For people in search of an introduction to the Fediverse, I love @MishaVelthuis 's "landing post for people curious about the Fediverse" Ofc with great video's by @_elena and @tilvids with practical tips and a good framing of "tech is political" […]

I'm not sure where this licence plate comes from, since we never had orange ones here in Iceland. #Iceland #photography #naturephotography #nature #landscape #landscapephotography #countryside #rural #abandoned #decay #sky #clouds #vintagecars #blueskymonday

I wrote this on the long word count server about the current turnitin debacle. I'm sad, upset and miserable about the state of affairs that is academic writing. #turnitin #ai #academia #academicchatter #academiawriting @penworks https://mementomori.social/@penworks/117421717222831836

I'd say the plausibility is rather low 😄 Happy coming out day! 🏳️‍🌈 #comingoutday #lgbtqia #lesbian #gay #bisexual #transgender #queer #intersex #asexual #nonbinary #pride #prideisaprotest #activism #queeractivism #translivesmatter #queerbipoclivesmatter #comingout #lgbt #11october #lgbtq #lgbti

All the editors of Elsevier's 𝘎𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘌𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘤 𝘉𝘦𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘳 just resigned in protest at Elsevier's firing of one editor and attempt to hire new editors without involving the current board. The Game Theory Society is cutting off its association with the journal, and "exploring the establishment of […]

Happy Sunday! Here's a site I've built because I've been thinking about this and want to see more of it in the world: a space for describing and sharing scholarly skills that I've picked up and nurtured over the years. Also this is a no AI zone in at least two ways: no talking about it and no […]

Een GSA (Gender & Sexuality Alliance) is een groep leerlingen of studenten die zich inzet voor een school waar iedereen zichzelf kan zijn. Een GSA is er voor lhbti+ jongeren én allies https://onderwijs.coc.nl/wat-is-een-gsa/

Gisteren was ik naar de Stadsschouwburg on Tour, waar Linde Schöne haar nieuwe acoustische stijl demonstreerde en daar wil ik het nog even met jullie over hebben. Want haar nieuwe werk (waarvan helaas nog weinig online staat) is echt HEEL ERG PRETTIG. Het enige in die richting dat ik vond was […]

If we want to regulate AI, why not start with a simple ban on LLMs using "I"? Easy to build, easy to verify and deflates a hype while still allowing people to use chatbots (so no one can claim we are limiting anything) My latest for @volkskrant in English! […]

Major AI companies are running war games and expect revolt. Straight up death cult. https://www.axios.com/2026/10/09/ai-companies-day-after-major-attack

Dark sky is the best sky. These pics are beautiful. Thank you for sharing & labeling! #astronomy

Sowieso is het onzinnig om een huis te 'bezitten' waar je niet woont.

Let 125 States Parties denounce the US' denial of international law. Support ICC and their president, Tomoko Akane, stating “The Court will continue to fully discharge its mandate, with independence and impartiality, acting only on the basis of the law and the evidence, for the sake of the […]

Finally, radium water for all.

One of the maddening realities of our time, is that it has become virtually impossible to tell whether our leaders are failing to speak out against the #EndTimesFascism that captured the US government because of *strategic reasons* (because we still depend so deeply on the US) or because they […]

It's just that simple.

25 jaar geleden, in oktober 2001, was ik bij Acda en De Munnik in het Cultuurcafé op de campus in Nijmegen (op de foto zie je mij een handtekening vragen aan Paul de Munnik). Vanavond was ik bij AEDM in de Ziggo Dome. Tikkeltje andere schaal maar ook heel gaaf 🤩🎶

Another successful week, by at least one measure.

Bye everyone at #OSSYM2026! I had to rush to catch the train. Thanks for a great symposium, @osf, @openwebsearcheu!
