Today is a good day for dog and kitten 🥰

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

As Vance 'lectures' Europe on free speech, it is good to be reminded that the United States ranks 55 (!) on the World Press Freedom Index. The top 10 countries are ALL in Europe. #journalism #democracy #freepress rsf.org/en/index

🤦🏽‍♀️ Guess President Musk doesn't remember Y2K? I remember literally partying like it was 1999 because no one was sure what would happen at midnight....

In Finland, we say "Hyvää Ystävänpäivää" which means "happy friendship day". There is less of a romantic connection to the celebration. My kids are having a small friends party to celebrate tonight 🎉🎉🎉

Terrific opportunity!

I'm speaking at the University of Texas at Austin on March 7 as part of a conference on what it looks like to engage in healthy democratic debate and discussion. It's an free conference with a bunch of great speakers. You can register here to attend: liberalarts.utexas.edu/discourse-in...

With both RFK Jr and Gabbard confirmed, two people who rose to prominence spreading conspiracy theories about public health and national intelligence will now run the U.S. government agencies in charge of those areas. For someone studying these conspiracy theories for a decade... this is nauseating.

Another student resesarch piece that needs some older adults to take part - as in over 30 😂 It looks at time spent on social media, FoMO (fear of missing out), age, and gender! If you have a few minutes and are over 18 - please consider taking part! forms.office.com/e/uYfRgSHD3u

The 'feeling' that X under Musk is a different place than before is quantified in this new study titled 'Substantial Hate' 1️⃣ hate speech up to 50% higher; 2️⃣ hate speech increase persistent; 3️⃣ no reduction in inauthentic accounts #commsky @polcomm.bsky.social journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

Two submissions in for #MediaPsych2025. Excited to head back to Duisburg-Essen and see all you brilliant scholars, colleagues, and friends! Bis bald!

I recently did an interview with @critikid.bsky.social where we covered my research on misinformation and media literacy. It's available here: critikid.com/misinformation #MisinfoResearch

Two and a half years ago, my family and I arrived in Finland from the United States. We left for our safety (both of my kids identify as GLBTQ). The news from the US is deeply concerning to us and we also feel so helpless. What can #USexpats do to help #resist?

For any psych students (and lecturers) interested in cyber here’s a really cool FREE virtual event hosted by the BPS you can attend next week looking at @lindakkaye.bsky.social work on emojis 🤩🌟📖🎮 Link here: www.bps.org.uk/event/virtua... #cyberpsychology

I've studied Internet memes for 15+ years. It really irks me that this new faux government agency is named after one. It's not cool tech bros. #poordoge

Important new for academics. Quite concerning #NSF #doubleplusungood #Orwell

TOMORROW: We’re rallying at the Treasury building with @moveon.org to stop Elon Musk’s hostile takeover and tell this unelected billionaire to get his hands off our money. We hope you can join us if you’re in the D.C. area.

I see now why USAID is first on the Musk-Trump administration's chopping block ...

This 💯

And this, my friends, if why I deleted TikTok. Another small step towards dictatorship. 🤦🏽‍♀️

This morning, we need some cute pets. Here's my 10 year old German Shepherd as a baby. She has the same exact smile today 🥰 #dog

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"
