One of my takeaways from reading _War and Peace_ last year was that Napoleon, whose warmongering killed millions across Europe, was basically a buffoon, a clown. Many of the most destructive men in history were ridiculous and laughable, and it just added insult to injury for contemporaries watching them come to power. There's nothing new under the sun.

For #TuneTuesday, this week's the theme is #ClipClopMusic. How about a broken-heart track by a fantastic group from #Québec (their albums are great and their shows are even better)?

Catching Dark Signals in Algorithms: Unveiling Audiovisual and Thematic Markers of Unsafe Content Recommended for Children and Teenagers
The prevalence of short form video platforms, combined with the ineffectiveness of age verification mechanisms, raises concerns about the potential harms facing children and teenagers in an algorithm-moderated online environment. We conducted multimodal feature analysis and thematic topic modeling of 4,492 short videos recommended to children and teenagers on Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts, collected as a part of an algorithm auditing experiment. This feature-level and content-leve…

Automated Thematic Analyses Using LLMs: Xylazine Wound Management Social Media Chatter Use Case
Background Large language models (LLMs) face challenges in inductive thematic analysis, a task requiring deep interpretive and domain-specific expertise. We evaluated the feasibility of using LLMs to replicate expert-driven thematic analysis of social media data. Methods Using two temporally non-intersecting Reddit datasets on xylazine (n=286 and n=686, for model optimization and validation, respectively) with twelve expert-derived themes, we evaluated five LLMs against expert coding. We modele…

But try to resist, because they’re even better tossed with a quick sauté of summer corn and tomatoes, seasoned with basil. Slivers of red onions, folded in raw at the end, add crunch and sweetness, while a squeeze of fresh lime makes everything tangy and fresh. Although this dish is at its most sublime m…
