If you hear something from a protest that you don't agree with, keep listening. You're the person whose mind they're trying to change.

It's perfectly OK for Palestinian Americans and other Arab Americans to organize and lead protests in the US.

Buenos Aires is so welcoming. I don't know how they knew I was coming but I keep seeing signs that say "Hi Prodromou"

Has the Trump campaign coordinated with the Netanyahu government to keep the war in Gaza going because it hurts President Biden's re-election prospects?

I sat in on the kickoff meeting for the "AI-Curated Democratic Discourse" project for JSALT at Johns Hopkins Engineering. The team is spending the summer on new user interfaces for encouraging productive discourse in online discussions -- building it with a new Mastodon Web UI and using the fediverse discourse as a base. I am extremely encouraged by this project.

All human beings have value and deserve basic human rights.

We must work proactively to identify and correct systems that prevent people from exercising their rights.

This isn't complicated and it shouldn't be controversial.

One very cool, very normal thing that non-war-criminals do is threaten collective punishment in retaliation for potential indictments on human rights violations

I just dropped my Summer 2024 semester class for so I can concentrate on the Summer of Protocols grant for adding E2EE to ActivityPub. I'm pretty bummed; this is my second semester in a row that I've had to drop out. But I just can't hold down a day job, work a full-time role on the grant, and do graduate school classes. It's just too much.

One part of the university encampment shutdowns that is upsetting to me is that the vast majority of Americans -- about 2/3 -- disapprove of Israel's actions in Gaza.
