Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.
Finland has emerged as a global leader in countering “fake news”. Here's how they've done it

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

every day a new palantir billionaire slithers out from a damp hole and does a tech conference panel where he casually suggests we round up the "genetically infirm" and toss them in an active volcano, before his head lurches back and chest rips open as he molts his exoskeleton to thunderous applause

1. Some good news at last. This week’s column is about the amazing thing a couple of us stumbled into three years ago, which we’ve now developed into a global research programme. It doesn’t change everything, of course, but it could help change quite a lot. + 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Over a pint in Oxford, we may have stumbled upon the holy grail of agriculture | George Monbiot
I knew that a revolution in our understanding of soil could change the world. Then came a eureka moment – and the birth of the Earth Rover Program, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Why do all the icons in iOS 26 now have faint glows and shadows? Some even have thin light outlines on the logo shapes? There’s no hard contrast, it feels like my eyesight is going blurry when it’s just terrible design choices!!!!

I really feel strongly that Apple Photos app video mode regarding recording video is really terrible UX. The amount of times I think I’ve tapped record and thinking I’m filming because button is red is too innumerable to count. All those lost memories, like tears in the rain…

When asked why they make up lies for the right-wing instead of the left, the fake news creators said, "Look man. We tested everything. We write made-up stories for the right and the left. The left is not gullible enough."
Hateful people are self-selected for gullibility. 🤷🏿♂️
