My new paper doi.org/10.1093/esr/... explains that personal networks expose us to different degrees to economic distress, which shapes public opinion (here, institutional trust). Yet institutional trust research has largely overlooked networks. #sociology #netsky

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Does anyone know of an international funder open to people based in Spain (funding computational science or anthropology) interested in highly interdisciplinary research using computational text analysis? (~€200,000).
Suggestions or collaborations welcome—thanks! 🙏 #css

Dutch elections: First exit poll shows great wins for centre parties D66 & CDA compared to 2023, big loss for the governing extreme right-wing (ER) party (but compensated by wins by non-governing ER parties) & losses for left-wing parties, but it's too close to call. www.politico.eu/article/dutc...

Dutch election is too close to call between liberals and far right, exit poll says

Rob Jetten and Geert Wilders are fighting it out for top spot in a nail-biting vote in the Netherlands.

Having my hopes up (probably in vain) for the Dutch elections - don´t forget to vote today if you are eligible!

Next up: Is the person who says she hates seeing old people in public an ageist or realist? Is the man who can’t stand successful women a sexist or realist? Is the neighbor who abhors pasta a pasta hater or a realist? Join us live or even better, check a dictionnaire, “racist” is under the R.

Is the Reform MP who says she’s driven mad by TV adverts full of Black & Asian people a racist or realist? How many migrants would the Tories expel? & should the UK be selling fighter jets to Türkiye?

Join LIVE at 9PM on X & YouTube or on ITV1 at 1045PM 📺

Hostile states are actively working to influence chatbots, resulting in the promotion of sanctioned content and false narratives.

Our latest investigation shows how Kremlin narratives—including sanctioned sources—are making their way into mainstream AI responses.

Re René, "als een meisje een microfoontje beet pakt, gaat hij al huilen": 1 geen meisje, vrouw; 2 niet een naamloos meisje, Bente die een heel persoonlijke tekst die hij geschreven heeft fantastisch herinterpreteert; 3 who cares wat mannen met 0 creativiteit en inlevingsvermogen hierover vinden.

God is die Johan Derksen nog steeds op tv? Het is geen nieuws dat kaarsen-Johan het onbegrijpelijk vindt dat mannen emoties tonen, we hadden echt niks anders verwacht. Het is wel nieuws dat zo’n man nog steeds op tv mag komen om zijn seksistische opinies te spuien. Misschien daar eens over hebben?

European authorities are increasingly open in saying who is responsible: Russia.
