This is interesting. NPR left Twitter six months ago and saw only a single percentage point difference in traffic despite having over 8 million followers. (Algorithmic changes meant people weren’t seeing/engaging with their tweets anyway) niemanreports.org/npr-twitter-...

I created this starter pack of researchers based in Europe who study misinformation, disinformation, and propaganda. I suspect this list will grow -- get in touch with suggestions go.bsky.app/36RdG8Z

One of the most well-written articles I have seen recently.
New Orc Times could never 🙄
I know plenty about oligarchy, as one does living under "the Russian world" rule and trying to escape corruption, lawlessness and decay it brings. American oligarchy isn't much different.

A first starter pack on computational social science, that is, researchers who use computational methods (broadly defined) to answer social science questions. It's a vaguely defined field with blurry borders, so it's certainly incomplete; if you want to be on it, let me know! go.bsky.app/PCckf3C

If California covered all its canals and aqueducts with solar, it could generate 13 GW of solar power and save 63 billion gallons of water, enough water for 2 million people & 50,000 irrigated acres. 🔌💡💧

The U.S. right built an alternative legal network to effectively challenge the rule of law over many decades, they have now completed that project in the information sphere too. Any analysis of this week’s outcome that does not start with this understanding feels wholly inadequate.
The Right built a powerful, partisan, & participatory media environment to support its messaging, which offers a compelling "deep story" for its participants. The Left relied upon rigid, self-preserving institutional media and its "story" is little more than a defense of imperfect institutions.

We need to do more systems thinking. It's so interesting and relevant to just about everything. I don't understand how people think everyone needs to learn how to code but we don't even get taught the most basic principles of (Complex) Systems Theory.

This is one of the primary goals of "AI" these days: to create an empty chair that takes the blame for corporate misconduct.
We didn't discriminate, the AI told us who to hire. We didn't wrongfully reject the health insurance claim, the AI told us to. And on and on.
