My feeling is that it's not unserious to spend time on the question of whether someone about to be hired for one of the most powerful jobs in the world drugged and raped a woman (as she alleges and he denies)

Opinion | Pete Hegseth Is the Secretary of Defense We Deserve
If you thought the former TV host would be asked important questions at the confirmation hearings this week, you must be living under the illusion that we live in a serious country.

Twitter distorts your views of others. In 2023 we showed that when people express outrage on Twitter, those who read their tweets think they’re more outraged than they actually are www.crockettlab.org/s/2023-Nat-H...

Twitter trains you to create more outrageous content. From 2018-2021 my team developed a tool to measure outrage on Twitter. Here's our paper showing that “likes” and “shares” teach people to express more outrage over time. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
How social learning amplifies moral outrage expression in online social networks

Twitter amplifies outrage. Here’s a paper from 2017 describing how social media’s affordances make it easier to express outrage, with some evidence that people are exposed to far more outrageous events online than off. www.crockettlab.org/s/Crockett_2...

Main takeaways: Twitter makes money by keeping you online, and a reliable way to do that is to make you outraged and train you to create content that makes others outraged. As a result, we misperceive one another and spread misinformation. This is bad for democracy.

Indeed, it's unreasonable to expect a gentleman from a unrepentant felon.
Our funding father had not designed the constitution for that. We need to address the bug.

Meta-comment. Nested quote-{dunks, replies} are a navigation nightmare. One arrives at the last reply and must read the thread per reverse chronology, clicking through each tweet in sequence to get to the origin. Would love a navigation tool that jumps to the origin, progressively zooms out.

New paper out in @ScienceMagazine! In 8 studies (multiple platforms, methods, time periods) we find: misinformation evokes more outrage than trustworthy news, when it does it's shared more + ppl are less likely to read before sharing. w/ @killianmcl1 @Klonick @mollycrockett 🧵👇
