Good news about the cutting-edge AI tools from the $3-trillion-dollar company.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

We’re thrilled to be a Pelagios Partner. Great working with such a smart, generous group of collaborators.

We feel so lucky to work with you, Roopsi! Data essays (among other great ideas you imagined) have become key features available to future projects.

Working with Performant over the last year has been dreamy! I had wanted to collaborate with them for a while, and it’s been as awesome as I hoped. (And this link has a tiny sneak preview, aka screenshots, of what we’ve been up to.)

Pelagios is proud to count Performant & Rainer as Partners. Together, we are trying to build methods/tools for annotating & structuring data "in the round", where different Partners contribute knowledge, resource and/or funding, towards distributive resilience. Join our community of practice #dh2025

The whole suite is available at affordably for those who can’t or don’t want to self-host, and the final product of a project can be built as a static website, hostable freely, and independently of the software (static images, maps and search coming soon) #dh2025 #minicomp

Performant Studio is a set of smaller sharper tools which you can use together or separately, and which integrate nicely with others, including Recogito Studio, the TEI and IIIF annotation platform we built in collaboration with @aboutgeo.bsky.social, University of Bonn and others. #dh2025

Alongside the software, we’ve started a series of how-tos, describing things you can do with Performant Studio, with or without our help. The first is “How to Publish a Digital Edition”: www.performantsoftware.com/solutions/ed...

We’re pleased to announce Performant Studio, an open source, standards-based software toolkit for #digitalhumanities projects. Ask @nicklaiacona.bsky.social about it if you see him at #dh2025! www.performantsoftware.com/studio/

Not at #DH2025 this year but following from afar. If you’re there, check out work from friends & partners:
• @jamiefolsom.bsky.social on #RecogitoStudio at the DHTech this afternoon.
• Kathryn Wilson on #DigitalCamerarius. (Ok, didn’t contribute much, but I think my logo made it onto the poster 😉)

Another day has passed and nothing from the acting head of FEMA in a disaster that killed 100+ people and I haven’t seen any journalists ask the administration where he is…???

Knowing who is currently leading FEMA strikes me as something the public has a vital interest in…

Thanks! We had a small but terrific group and a good discussion — this really is the best conference.

I’ll see you at the Care Fair tomorrow :)

This afternoon / evening, @kelleykreitz.bsky.social & I are presenting as part of the #ACH2025 panel 13A: Papers: Advocacy and/in the Classroom (5:30-6:45 pm EDT). We'll talk about critical mapping in the classroom. Come chat with us about data, narratives, and counter-mapping.

Who would set a country's future on fire?

The Trump regime has already plunged America into a distinction that has only been earned by two previous governments, which happen to be the two most murderous regimes in human history.

Good news! The deadline to register for the @adho-org.bsky.social #DH2025 conference, hosted by NOVA-FCSH, has been extended to June 9.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

I have 2 incoming PhD students who can't find funding to study in the UK. (In the US PhD students are generally funded; this UK wild west is unconscionable.)

Long shot, but does anyone know of any funding opportunities for PhD students in digital humanities, AI, comp linguistics, comp soc sci, etc?

We're living through the Who Cares Era, where completely disposable things are shoddily produced for people to mostly ignore, while the government stomps its uncaring boot on our necks. But there's an easy way to fight back: Care.

Yay! I love seeing examples of #RecogitoStudio in the wild! ❤️ CC @performant.bsky.social @jamiefolsom.bsky.social @anindita.org
