Detta är spännande! Nyhetsinfluerare tar över redaktionernas roll i att leverera ett kurerat flöde av nyheter till läsare/följare. Vilka svenska konton skulle ni räkna till den här kategorin?

Happy birthday to the only two women with elements named after them on the periodic table: #MarieCurie & #LiseMeitner.

As I do every year, I will once again repeat my proposal that November 7 should be International #WomenInSTEM Day!

#histSTM #chemistry #physics
#OnThisDay #OTD #PeriodicTable👩‍🔬🗃️📜
The squares for Curium and Meitnerium from periodictable.com, featuring portraits of their respective namesakes, are presented above a caption "Only two women have chemical elements named after them. Both were born on November 7th." (I'm aware that there was some ambiguity surrounding Lise Meitner's birthday, but Ruth Lewin Sime's biography notes that Meitner celebrated the occasion on November 7.)

Pretty disappointing move from @jay.bsky.team but I can't say I'm surprised.

This is the same person who told us moderation isn't their responsibility... So they snuck a bunch of weird moderation controls in.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

Finns mycket här att fundera vidare på. Men att sambandet mellan uppmärksamhet/synlighet i medierna och grad av utsatthet är så starkt är skrämmande. Vi måste hyfsa debatten – prata sak och inte person. Annars har vi snart inga (vettiga) politiker kvar.

Zohran's relentless disciplined campaign was truly impressive - he brought every message/issue back to the cost of living and built a model for what bringing attention to a positive affordability message can look like

Really interesting journalist/academic investigation

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Det här förslaget är verkligen jättekonstigt. En AI av det här slaget måste ju träna på något. Jag hävdar att den träningen utgör ett övergrepp i sig. Eller hur tänker de?

Jag kan inte komma på ett större rättsstatsproblem under min tid. Domstolar som inte har budget att hålla förhandlingar är så grundläggande rättsosäkert att det är svårt att veta var man ska börja.

Det här är ett av de exempel jag brukar använda när jag undervisar om desinformation i samband med konflikter. Israeliska regimen har väl utvecklade strategier för att vilseleda medier. Journalister, måste förhålla sig mer kritiska. Den israeliska desinformationen är som den ryska fast skickligare.

The Welsh town that saw off Nigel Farage – video
In last week's byelection in the Welsh constituency of Caerphilly, Reform UK were the hot favourites, and the focus of huge attention. But as John Harris and John Domokos saw close-up, a Reform win failed to happen thanks to a story most of the media didn't see: how online fear and loathing were beaten back by community spirit, facts trumping fury, and everyday empathy
