If I didn’t want anyone using my premises as a possum balls-airing platform, I would simply not design my premises to include a possum balls-airing platform

yeah to non-shitpost for a second, I have close friends that this has happened to and it's extremely tragic. mid-20s mental onset illness in young men is A Thing, and it's really fucking scary and sad. people who loved him are probably agonizing over if only they had done something.

When you see a post that outrages you: - You're more likely to share it without stopping to check if it's true - It's statistically more likely to be false or misleading Wrote about a new study in Science that finds misinfo thrives in part because social media optimizes for outrage: wapo.st/3D0waHZ

New study: Outrage is like wings for digital content, helping all sorts of information travel farther. In physical-world relations, ppl with constant high-dudgeon fury tend to be considered exhausting or annoying. But many ppl’s online experience is saturated w emotions they’d otherwise avoid.

The news you were waiting for... I’ve added people to my 'Outside the box' starter pack which features accounts who think across partisan lines. Those on it have ideological sympathies, but are open to diverse traditions and consider issues from case to case. Please share! go.bsky.app/HZxZgvh

It takes an exile from Putin’s Russia, writing about the theories of an exile from Orban’s Hungary, to cut through the noise about Trump’s America, from which we have nowhere left to run. Gift link to M. Gessen in NYT: www.nytimes.com/2024/11/15/o...

Somehow, we understated just how historic Bobby Witt Jr.’s 2024 season was. Until 2024, Alex Rodriguez was the only shortstop ever to win a batting title, Gold Glove, & Silver Slugger Award in a career. Bobby Witt Jr. just did all three IN THE SAME SEASON.
