What's interesting is how inconsistent this list appears to be (at least from my understanding of Helen Hoang's works).

I should probably post this bit on the #contagioneffect since I have a feeling many people on this platform won't bring it up. www.center4research.org/copy-cats-ki...
This is Peak Birb right here.
Given this platform's tendency toward #doomerism and exacerbating distorted information, I'm not surprised by this news. www.socialmediatoday.com/news/bluesky...
It's real treat when these energetic guys decide to pause for a few minutes.
This oughtta ruffle some feathers. (Thing is, I know of at least one museum exhibit I've personally seen that provides some solid evidence for this one.) www.persuasion.community/p/the-left-i...
And if that gull is smart, they're not going to mention the fries to the cormorants.
I can't help but think a lot of people on this network would benefit from at least exploring what #braverangels has to offer. www.eventbrite.com/e/crossing-t...
I feel like I've made that very facial/head position expression before.
I wonder how much (of) the notion presented in this piece does not sit well with people and what is behind that unease. thefulcrum.us/bridging-com...
Too bad that account got suspended. Wanting to push back on him is the only reason I've been motivated to post on Bluesky again. (Found out about this through other platforms.)
I am glad to be in the 3% that thinks this isn't a good idea.
I have to admit I was relieved to see the "metaphorically" added in there. I'm still recovering from witnessing widespread arson a few years ago, and people talking about burning things down can set me on edge when the context isn't super clear.
For those who are thinking about the leaked audio, it's worth remembering that audio deepfakes are pretty easy to create.
And people wonder why I think that we actually need to focus on helping young men navigate the world these days. Well, here's a very good reason to send some resources in that direction (namely, we need to prevent this from getting worse). jacobin.com/2024/01/life...
Who's page? PML?
While we need people to start thinking critically, I feel like pleadings are the wrong way to go about pushing for that. These pleadings ignore root causes and may make people more inclined to lean on emotional impulses when making decisions.
For future sessions like this, will you consider looking into the suggestions made by Hemant Mehta regarding stronger communication about church/state separation? youtu.be/tTYfNs3PTjc?...
This video from Technology Connections makes a point about #bluesky being a more manual experience. I think he's partially right on this one. Thoughts? youtu.be/QEJpZjg8GuA?...
Thanks for the link!
It seems like no matter what happens, quote misattribution never goes out of style.
Let's get the funding restored so we can have more discoveries like this. www.thetimes.com/uk/science/a...
The MSN link in this thread implies people being sick of the Chiefs.
Never mind that the link indicates team-related fatigue to be a major culprit.
I am curious to see how Bluesky (and its users) will get ahead of proliferations of #fakeaccounts like this. cybernews.com/tech/bluesky...
But I think we can agree that the stripper puts more effort into gettin' that bag.
Sorry, Lions fans. I feel for ya on this one. It just wasn't meant to be.
I mean, this isn't really a surprise. I was reading the November issue of Inc, and one of the founders of Spill remarked that even on that app toxic behaviors are still cropping up even with moderation.
I'm also down for rebuilding Little Free Libraries in the area. #booksky
Belle has useful words of consideration here. #nodefeatism #nonihilism www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cKR...
Everone's talking about Meta stopping #factchecking enabling right wing slop, and I'm over here remembering that no part of the spectrum is immune to misinformation. Threads had a left-ish issue along these lines. www.usermag.co/p/metas-thre...
At the same time, I can see how that remark can be seen as Zuckerberg trying to save face. Thing is, the fact checking program Facebook implemented had pretty noticeable limitations, and I'm not sure it was really all that effective.
Eh, given that people I know will be on that platform for a while, I gotta stay. Plus, Instagram has been absorbing some teen pregnancy flexes, and I'll be damned if I'm not there to counter that narrative somehow.
That hurt my eyes to read.
Books I dropped off in a #littlefreelibrary in 2024. I will be dropping off even more this year. #booksky
Clearly I missed some things while on vacation. (On the other hand, a bit of a break may be needed, considering fact checking will likely be a busier than normal activity this year.)
What about 3500 or so in a single day? I did that yesterday (even with taking a few hours to catch a show and have an early dinner).
Didn't take long for the bots to find me. At least bots don't require the same level of babysitting fact checking does.
Might as well share this thoughtful longform piece. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
What's the title of the WSJ piece stating this?
Because of captions like this, methinks.
I love parody accounts.
Time to start plugging Media Bias Fact Check here! First up: Meidas Touch. mediabiasfactcheck.com/meidastouch/
I suspect this has been going on longer than we think, at least if Christine Emba's writing is any indication.
Replication should be done, but I do find this study to be rather useful in showing how certain subgroups of men are at greater suicide risk. Likewise, the distinction of traditional gender roles is appreciated. medicalxpress.com/news/2024-11...
I'm both surprised and not by this one. I'd be curious to see if they've made cuts at their DC office.
That's paltry.
Snopes knows what's what. Nice work! www.snopes.com//news/2024/1...
Old Ass Millennial, actually. My dad is a big Genesis fan, so I grew up seeing Genesis records in the house (and listened to cassette recordings of them during the rides to school).
Hmmm...sources for this data?
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks of Abacab when I see ___AB anywhere.
Don't mind me. I'm just here to verify info and nip disinformation in the bud when possible.
