Thank you for this! I missed it. :-/ But I'm going to look into this. Things really are very different out there, and I'm increasingly realizing I need to revamp entire aspects of it. Please keep sharing as you find information!!

I'm happy to say I was one of the recipients of this expansion, and I know I'm biased, but I think it was the right thing to do. Despite my paying it off for years, due to interest, my loan was roughly the same as it was when I got it.

I mean, it really is just Twitteresque; I don't expect it to replicate well the social sharing of pictures and videos that FB and IG offer.

Why would Trump act in a logical way now? These calls have no basis in reality, and they seem to hinge on the listener's willingness to completely forget what Trump has repeatedly demonstrated to everyone: the anger and vitriol is the point, not the unfortunate symptom.

Conclusion: It's really important to study social media dynamics ACROSS platforms. Some findings generalize (high-quality news getting less engagement), others do not (association between political lean and engagement)

Honestly, I sort of do hope they find their own political space: it's clear there's a hunger for it, and I think by having them coalesce into one open, identifiable group, we might be able to wrest back control of some cultural institutions and save some wayward converts.

I hope to summon them, Hamlet style, for some kind of digital-life revenge play. The analogy breaks down there, though, because I don't know who the Prince would be---Bluesky?---let alone Polonious or Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.
