Findings about "informational autocracies" that are of broader relevance, in this 🧵:
Social media functions as a "distorted mirror," explains @pumashen.bsky.social, e.g. 3% of accounts generate 33% of posts; 1% of online communities are responsible for 74% of conflict; 0.1% of users drive 80% of #disinformation.
The strategic response is to neutralize methods of mass amplification.

a few years ago i hoped i would be able to change my gender legally and maybe even get trans healthcare as a nonbinary person but instead weve gone backwards. and im at increased risk of losing benefits. & i got made homeless & there was literally nothing tho thats prolly standard for a few decades
As a Safety manager in the NHS, Labour is most likely making me redundant, and I could lose my house. Making NHS patients less safe in the process.

Why aren't Labour's life-changing policies connecting with voters - and what can the party do? It's down to messaging, how it's told, and the messengers...

How do you produce a 51 slide presentation & then get surprised that you run out of time in a 15 minute slot. How.

Do I know anyone with experience of elder care in the UK? My Dad is under heavy stress about my aunt only having funds for three years in a home (she has dementia) & it seems like it's discretionary after that as to retaining a place. Can she really be made homeless if they don't have capacity?

I love popping over to Bunhill Fields on a lunch break to find out what the excellent gardeners have been up to recently. Here we have shrubby germander, shrubby Veronica & big blue ladyturf (please note the u). They are going to form a Ramones style New York punk band.

When politicians complain about toxic behaviour, they want you to think of unfair abuse and intimidation, but often mean citizens simply challenging their elected representatives' complicity in genocide, or cosy relationships with corporations, or failure to answer questions about conduct

![Tweet from Andrew Cuomo:
If you want President Trump to try to take over the city - national guard on streets, choking federal funding - vote for Zohran Mamdani because Trump just said he will be coming and this poser [for some reason Cuomo ats Mamdani for the second time at this point] won't be able to stop him.
That is a fact. The next Mayor has to be able to get us more, not ensure our demise. I am the only person in this race who can do that.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rtpzeqayqlljktdug5msk3op/bafkreifqiwtssqeahebwndt5zyinkgvd2wxynw5jyqe675txzqocpfqhjq@jpeg)

This is very moving. I fear it will fall on deaf ears - ZS very much in broadcast mode these days & seemingly well down the crank spiral. But for the rest of us there's a lot of urgent information in here about Russian political tech, as well as Rymbu's own extraordinary story.

My Colin story is when he was in Ballykissangel we had a scene with a pig giving birth, shot in a blacked-out pigsty during a heatwave, it stank in there. A vet arrived with a new piglet & said "if I don't get him back to his mother inside an hour he'll die." No pressure then. Colin had a line to do
