I was not hacked. This is just now a pro-blanket account. Be warned.

Here's what's not going to change: I'm going to wake up tomorrow and try to be kind to folks around me.

I am humbled, and elated, to share that I have been named as Winship Distinguished Research Professor of Sociology at Emory University. I have questioned whether my work was good enough -- as a writer, as resonating to society, as mainstream Sociology, as iconic of "Emory". Hard to argue with myself anymore.

Students rob themselves when they use LLMs on practice material. The material is there for YOU to practice.

Bayes-d. 😆

Or the election has already started with early voting, and wooing black voters to the polls will win her Georgia, NC and possibly Florida. Some see desperation. Others see a well run campaign. I bet on the latter 🤷🏽‍♂️.

I miss Twitter. X dot com kinda sucks.

I'm talking at a conference later this year (on UX AI). I just saw an ad for the conference with my photo and was like, wait, that doesn't look right. Is my bra showing in my profile pic and I've never noticed...? That's weird. I open my original photo. No bra showing. I put the two photos side by side and I'm like WTF... Someone edited my photo to unbutton my blouse and reveal a made-up hint of a bra or something else underneath. 🤨 Immediately, I email the conference host. (FYI he is a great, respectable guy with 5 kids at home.) He is super apologetic and immediately looks into the issue. He quickly reports back that the woman running their social media used a cropped square image from their website. She needed it to be more vertical, so she used an AI expand image tool to make the photo taller. AI invented the bottom part of the image (in which it believed that women's shirts should be unbuttoned further, with some tension around the buttons, and revealing a little hint of something underneath). 🤯 — FYI the conference organizers were super apologetic and took down all of the content with that photo.
