Steve Kerr: "I believe in academic freedom. I think it's crucial for all of our institutions to be able to handle their own business the way they want to. And they should not be shaken down and told what to teach, what to say, by our government. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard."
Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

Universities should be places for free thought, not political battlegrounds. When politicians, left or right, start meddling, #AcademicFreedom is at risk. Let researchers and educators do their jobs without interference. Knowledge must remain independent. #USPol #Democracy #AcademicSky #ResearchSky

ICYMI: Starting March 28, everything you say to your #Echo device is sent to Amazon, an obvious privacy risk and a prime example of user losing control over their data. If this doesn't persuade you to ditch #Alexa, then nothing will. #Privacy #EthicalAI

Yet another misconfigured #AWS #S3 bucket has exposed sensitive medical data (over 86k records)! How many leaks must occur before cybersecurity is taken seriously? It’s frustrating to see this happen over and over again. #ESHYFT #DataLeak #Cybersecurity #Healthcare
'Uber for nurses' exposes 86k+ medical records, PII in open S3 bucket for months

LA fires are a good reminder that the only difference between me and any refugee is luck.

🧵/1 Just read @mjcrockett.bsky.social and their team’s excellent research on how social media, especially Twitter, amplifies moral outrage. A must-read! An evidence-based look at how profit-driven platforms manipulate behaviour to boost engagement, reshaping interactions in ways that harm discourse.

Just read this report by a #UniMelb colleague at @msei-unimelb.bsky.social. As a naturalised Australian from the UK, I sympathise with the struggles of navigating immigration. It’s daunting even with privilege, imagine the immense challenges vulnerable people face in urgent, precarious situations.
