This group is intended to support COMP650, Social Computing, a masters level course in SCIS. Membership is open to anyone (otherwise it would be a bit anti-social!) though it is intended primarily for those on the course, alumni of the course and invited guests. Some elements may be visible to logged in users and the general public, if their owners allow it.
I enjoyed this, too, and I didn't make the connection with last week's work: thanks for the reminder. For those not wanting to watch (or wanting to know more about it) there's an overview of the special at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bo_Burnham:_Inside
When my kids came to have a look at my half-finished new office (formerly bedroom) a couple of weeks ago they observed that it looked very much indeed like Bo Burnham's room: a lot of cables, microphones, cameras, musical instruments, lighting, computers, monitors, a chair, a desk, and not much else. I felt quite pleased.

You are on a group profile page, the entry point into a group.
Groups can be open or closed. In a closed group, you must either receive an invitation or ask permission to join. Open groups can be joined by anyone just by clicking the 'join group' button. Joining a group usually allows you to make posts and participate in discussions within that group. Many groups have content that is visible to non members as well as content only available to members.
Group owners have a lot of control over the appearance and available tools in a group. If you are a group owner, do explore the group widgets that let you present the group exactly as you wish to whoever you wish, as well as providing tools to add group wire posts, discussion posts and so on, and do explore the 'edit group' options as there are many ways to tweak a group to look and behave exactly as you wish.
We welcome comments on public posts from members of the public. Please note, however, that all comments made on public posts must be moderated by their owners before they become visible on the site. The owner of the post (and no one else) has to do that.

Nice find! As a philosophy graduate with an ongoing interest in ethics I have much enjoyed the series myself. I believe that the writing team included professional philosophers to help generate and critique the plot, so there's a lot of academic depth hiding just beneath the entertaining and absurd surface. It's quite fun trying to spot the philosophers/schools of philosophy being called upon in each episode, as well as in the broader trajectory of the plot.
