Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵

Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...

"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

Just catching up with this amazing bit of London Centric reporting and this is such an excellent description of the weird epistemic ambiguity produced by AI: "There’s clearly something political about it but nobody knows what it is." www.londoncentric.media/p/ai-artwork...

We're seeing lots of headlines about the catastrophic impact of massive data center expansion. But what else could data centers look like?

In my perpetual quest to seek out alternative technofutures, I want to highlight the really cool work of Keolu Fox.

What exactly is meant by formatting here? Because a lot of the time it is just journals requiring difference reference styles, which could be easily adjusted in no time if you just use an old-fashioned reference managing system or similar coded referencing.

In 1996, Brewster Kahle wrote "Preserving the Internet" for Scientific American. Nearly 30 years later, it’s striking how many of his predictions about digital preservation came true—and how many challenges remain.

Let’s compare 1996 vs 2025 🧵

Verkligen! Plus att uppmärksamma att mer resurser och erkännande av bibliotekens roll behövs borde väl verkligen ligga i chefernas intresse.

Har också häpnat över den där diskussionen och hur det misstolkats till att handla om klagande bibliotekarier. Problemet är väl att biblioteken kommit att få ett brett uppdrag för att andra instanser stängt, utan att få ett officiellt breddat uppdrag eller att resurser följt med, vilket är bananas!

The most inspiring read of my summer. James Bridle’s Ways of Being is a beautiful and thought-provoking essay on the entanglement of humans, nature and technologies, and ideas about what intelligence is and how to build ”smart” machines.

Hi #STS peers and other ethnographers!
I am looking for good work on ethics of ethnographic research. In general but also particularly in healthcare/medical settings. Do you have any suggestions? Please, let me know! #STS #ethnography #research #researchethics
