This blog post came up recently in a student meeting while discussing real web sites about fake entities.

In 2016, Shawn Jones @shawnmjones.org‬ @webscidl.bsky.social looked at link rot & content drift in real web sites mentioned in fictional TV shows & movies.

Hi Seattle! Come see my talk on the history of human-computer interaction. I'll explain U.S. gov funding of science has led to many of the innovations that power our economy & shape our lives — and call out the short-sightedness & hypocrisy of efforts to defund science in this field & so many others

Seattle! We're joining the Summer of Science with our first teach-in. Join us @obecbrewing to meet @katestarbird.bsky.social

Dr. Starbird will be speaking about the evolution of human-computer interaction, and why public investment in research and diverse voices in computing and informatics are more essential than ever, especially at a time when those investments are under threat.

And you won’t just leave inspired — Seattle’s Stand Up for Science team will be on hand with easy, actionable ways to contact your representatives and stand up for science. See you there!
