Haha it is very nice to have weather like that in November! It is 34 degrees currently though, and a high of 71 later this week, it’s just all over the place this week!

Posting is correlated with affective polarization:
😡 The most partisan users — those who love their party and despise the other — are more likely to post about politics
🥊 The result? A loud angry minority dominates online politics, which itself can drive polarization (see doi.org/10.1073/pnas...)
