Absolutely…. #BookSky

❤️ @lyndamk.bsky.social speaks about her, the @datarescueproject.org's, and @icpsr.bsky.social's tremendously important work. As fascism is on the rise, #data and #DataLibrarians work becomes even more crucial! #IASSIST2026 #PyjamaIASSIST2026

Listening to Lindsay Gypin at #IASSIST2026 give this presentation "When Infrastructure Promises Automation But Delivers Manual Labor: The Hidden Cost of Broken Research Data Systems" and it is *striking* how badly these systems do not speak to each other.

Love this! Two of my favorite orgs @mapresearch.bsky.social and @datarescueproject.org (with a little @icpsr.bsky.social sprinkled in).

Just the @datarescueproject.org getting highlighted in @timemagazine.bsky.social No big deal. Teaming up to preserve at-risk public data, from FEMA to the Dept. of Ed., this collaboration is putting transparency back in the spotlight. @iassistdata.bsky.social @icpsr.bsky.social

Trump’s termination of Register of Copyrights is a brazen, unprecedented power grab with no legal basis. It is surely no coincidence he acted less than a day after she refused to rubber-stamp Elon Musk’s efforts to mine troves of copyrighted works to train AI models.

Major AI firms like OpenAI, which Elon Musk co-founded, are facing ongoing lawsuits over alleged unauthorized use of copyrighted materials in their model training.
