12-1 pm EST, April 25, DIGITAL LIVES: EXPLORATORY RESEARCH GROUP“Networks and Archives.” Join host .@jasonaboyd in a discussion of two digital resources for the study of “collective biography”: *Six Degrees of Francis Bacon *The Vault at Pfaff’s Register torontomu.zoom.us/meeting/re…
Walt Whitman memorialized "The vault at Pfaffs where the drinkers and laughers meet to eat and drink and carouse" in an unfinished poem from the early 1860s. Under the low-hanging ceiling of Charles Pfaff's Manhattan beer cellar, Whitman drew inspiration from what one contemporary called "the trysting-place of the most careless, witty, and jovial spirits of New York,—journalists, artists, and poets." The Vault at Pfaff's recaptures the spirit of Whitman's antebellum "trysting-place" by bringing together the art and literature of the United States' first self-described bohemians, including digital editions of the three periodicals many of them regularly contributed to: The New York Saturday Press, Vanity Fair, and The New York Leader.

To uncover data sharing trends in the humanities, @dylan_ruediger & @ruby_macdougall conducted a series of interviews with key personnel at @GayGuides, @UNCLibrary’s On the Books project, @HopkinsEngineer’s Black Beyond Data, & @6Bacon. sr.ithaka.org/publications/a…
Text reads, "Are the Humanities Ready for Data Sharing? by Dylan Ruediger and Ruby MacDougall," above centered icons of a bar graph, a desktop computer displaying the image of an open book, and a magnifying glass.

1. It is with great sadness that we learn the news of Bruno Latour’s passing today. He was an intellectual giant, a friend, & someone whose work inspired me greatly. A thread for those who want to know more about this extraordinary life.

Alex Jones says, “the attack had begun, we are now being murdered.” He says the US is a “2nd Atlantis” founded by Francis Bacon and controlled by globalists who are descendants of Count Dracula aligned with the CCP to put nanotechnology in food to wipe out 90% of the population.

Our aim is to explore the role that communities played in public and private life before 1800. How and why did premodern people form, sustain, and dissolve social collectives? What prompted the material, affective, and intellectual investment in networks of intimate exchange?

"Towards a Computer Science of History" (a thread)... When tens of millions of dollars endow expansions of CS and data science+, the hires might go to the economics of information, scientific cyberinfrastructure, urban computing, even data science for the social good.

A popular parlour game in early 17ᵗʰ-century England was to link various noblemen to the Lord High Chancellor of England; this game was called “Six Degrees of Francis Bacon.” #RandomAndFakeTrivia
