Taking a single issue - polarization - we ask people what institutions they, on balance, feel do bring us together and which divide us. Again, social media are seen differently from other platforms - but news media, journalists, and politicians are seen as far more divisive 4/5

Today, I was asked to give a lecture for the NFDM on polarization in organizations- conveniently on Thanksgiving.

For the talk I learned in politically diverse families, dinners are 35-70 minutes shorter than politically homogeneous ones.

Gobble, gobble.

Spending a month on Bluesky has created a whole new model of a fight we need to be having right now. Not liberal vs. conservative or whatever, but respect vs manipulation.

I am tired of being manipulated everywhere I go. That’s why I like it here, I feel like I’m in charge for once.
