When people talk about the days of mass media in the form of the evening news, Dan Rather, everyone "on the same page" with wistful longing... I get why. The current landscape is chaotic.

But, that period of more centralized media left a lot of people out. It made certain perspectives impossible to contemplate.

Like during the early days of the Gulf War: the antiwar movement was invisible.

@futurebird I also often think about the (sometimes) false trust that's created in these vacuums.

It's easier to be the "voice of the radio" or "voice of the nation" or whatever if you're one of very few speaking, and if you're receiving significantly limited criticism compared to today's media apparatus.

is a street artist and sculptor most known for making these iconic clay faces. His work can often be found glued under bike racks in the Mission. See much more of his work (not just bike racks and faces) here instagram.com/brucehallman

Another sclupted face under a bike rack. There are brown leaves on the ground around it. The paint is a little faded, but there are also vertical lines running up the character's face with bits of blue and red on them.
A really aged and faded clay face that has been glued underneath a bike rack.
A pink face glued under a bike rack. This one has little fish that have been carved onto the face by the artist. The fish are painted light blue and run in a line going from the face to the forehead.
A pink face glued under a bike rack. This one has a light blue line running along it's eyebrows and another red line along it's jaw.
Another face glued under a bike rack, this one is completely grey. The eyes look a little different than the rest, with maybe a sadder or more tired expression on the face.
Another face glued under a bike rack. The paint on this one has also faded off, but the clay looks darker than the others. Like a brownish color, with a brown leaf on the ground nearby and the pedals of a bike can be seen above it.
Another face glued to the sidewalk under a bike rack. The paint has faded from this one, but the clay has a reddish look to it. The sculpted face also looks more aged than the other pieces, like it's been here a while. There are some scrapes and cracks on one side.

For those getting fed up with all the Google SERP results coming from Reddit can I please remind you of the Google operators. Just add -reddit.com after your query and it will not return anything from Reddit.

@simoncox it always strikes me that reddit has a pretty solid information architecture compared to other social media. Info is organized into topics, where users frequently interlink and demonstrate a broad range of expertise, and context is included in the URL.

Reddit SEOd user generated content. Whether that's good or bad, different question. But its prevalence in searches has never seemed to demonstrate some kind of secret collusion to me.

@simoncox almost like reddit was planning something like this when they monetized their API out of reach from app developers, but now IN reach of big data...

Because they bring me such joy, I will share with you all the software testing videos I share with my Software Design and Development students.

Video 1/3: “We don’t need user testing! We already know our users”

Children at a playground completely ignoring the slide, and sliding down the smooth hill upon which the slide is mounted

@inthehands this whole thread is spectacular. The spectator's face as they put the circle through the square, the kids sliding down the hill, all of it. Glorious!

geoffreyconley,
@geoffreyconley@fedia.social avatar

@inthehands now if I could just figure out an appropriate way to reference these when an exec or client tries to de-prioritize user testing

@geoffreyconley@fedia.social avatar

@sewblue @mina @aeveltstra @_L1vY_ @inthehands Funny, I don't usually struggle with that game as much. I have folks who tend to go too far in the OTHER direction--suddenly creating content with essentially no value, because everything has been replaced with useless buzzwords.

@simoncox interesting form! Curious what kind of reporting and analysis you're planning to do based on the data you collect?

It is - the big ACM computer science education conference! There years ago I made this YouTube video about my thoughts about ethics integration across computing curriculum - I have a lot more thoughts on this since then, but if you've never seen me give a talk on this topic, this is a good introduction! https://youtu.be/LYRKqnLeIDo

@cfiesler this is super interesting! Are y'all planning to continue this survey over time? Would love to see multi-year trends eventually!
