Älskade valet att skita i gärningsmannan, inte ge honom mer uppmärksamhet. Älskade så mycket här och har inte ens hunnit börja smälta allt. Men tänker på tjejen jag hörde i pausen, vuxen nu men för ung för att minnas dådet. 10 år sen nu. Vi måste minnas det som andra vill få oss att glömma.

Just sett genrepet av VI ÄR ORLANDO på Uppsala stadsteater, baserad på Johan Hiltons bok och dramatiserad av densamme, regisserad av Daniel Nyström, och en ensemble som spelar massor av roller. Blir en talkör som ger hopp i mörkret.

Green Party takes Gorton and Denton from Labour in first ever Westminster by-election win Hannah Spencer wins the Manchester seat, ahead of Reform UK in second, with Labour pushed into third.

Vi börjar dagen med en bra nyhet! Om att de Gröna vann ett fyllnadsval till det brittiska parlamentet, på ett program som utgick från att ”Everybody deserves a nice life”! Lyssna på hennes segertal, så kan en politiker också låta!!!

What if all those years of life were not just an investment in capital growth but were actually the entire point of all of it, what then.

Detta är bortom omskrivningar som radikala islamister, störande böneutrop osv.

Religiösa praktiker är till slut de människor som utför dem. När man säger att ramadan inte hör hemma i Sverige menar man att muslimer inte hör hemma i Sverige.

The political effects of X's feed algorithm

Feed algorithms are widely suspected to influence political attitudes. However, previous evidence from switching off the algorithm on Meta platforms found no political effects'. Here we present results from a 2023 field experiment on Elon Musk's platform X shedding light on this puzzle. We assigned active US-based users randomly to either an algorithmic or a chronological feed for 7 weeks, measuring political attitudes and online behaviour. Switching from a chronological to an algorithmic feed increased engagement and shifted political opinion towards more conservative positions, particularly regarding policy priorities, perceptions of criminal investigations into Donald Trump and views on the war in Ukraine. In contrast, switching from the algorithmic to the chronological feed had no comparable effects.
Neither switching the algorithm on nor switching it off significantly affected affective polarization or self-reported partisanship. To investigate the mechanism, we analysed users' feed content and behaviour. We found that the algorithm promotes conservative content and demotes posts by traditional media. Exposure to algorithmic content leads users to follow conservative political activist accounts, which they continue to follow even after switching off the algorithm, helping explain the asymmetry in effects. These results suggest that initial exposure to X's algorithm has persistent effects on users' current political attitudes and account-following behaviour, even in the absence of a detectable effect on partisanship.

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right.

Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement.

This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

‘Andor’ Creator Tony Gilroy Gives the Interview He Couldn’t During Its Release While promoting his cautionary tale about fascism, Disney asked Gilroy to refrain from using the word. Nine months after it aired its finale, the 'Star Wars' series feels scarily prescient.

God, the candidness of this interview is *so* refreshing

So happy: THE MUSE (MUSAN) is being published next year all across the English-speaking world. Also, I start working on a new project on Monday that is.... unexpected, to say the least. @torbooksuk.bsky.social @bookbrunch.bsky.social
