Depolarization is not "a scalable solution for reducing societal-level conflict.... achieving lasting depolarization will likely require....moving beyond individual-level treatments to address the elite behaviors and structural incentives that fuel partisan conflict" www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

My God, this UN speech.

These 6 Corporations Control 90% Of The Media In America Discover how six corporations dominate 90% of the media landscape in America, shaping public perception.

The bigger problem is the deregulation that led to the television climate we have today, in which only 6 companies own 90% of the nation's media.

Pure bloodlines? Ancestral homelands? DNA science says no. — Harvard Gazette Geneticist explains recent analyses made possible by tech advances show human history to be one of mixing, movement, displacement.

“Harvard geneticist David Reich said … increasingly sophisticated analysis of genetic material made possible by technological advances shows that virtually everyone came from somewhere else, and everyone’s genetic background shows a mix from different waves of migration that washed over the globe.”

New research on defense willingness in Sweden by Ralph Sundberg & Gina Gustafsson:

Positive link to national attachment, cultural national pride, and civic conception of nationhood.

An ethnic conception of nationhood shows no significant effect, and uncritical patriotism has a negative effect.

Today's violation of Estonia's airspace by Russian military aircraft is an extremely dangerous provocation.

This marks the third such violation of EU airspace in days and further escalates tensions in the region.

The EU stands in full solidarity with Estonia (1/2)

OK, a🧵: Our new paper studies workers' political consciousness in times of class demobilization.

We show there's more to workers' politics than right-wing resentment. Listening to workers, we reconstruct their moral critiques of money, power & recognition.

Boosted by summits in Alaska and China, Putin moves against Europe, Ukraine Russia has been emboldened in its strategy of splitting the U.S. from Europe while pushing ever harder to gain a military victory in Ukraine.

Since the Alaska “summit”’ Putin “has ramped up attacks on Ukraine, threatened to kill any future foreign forces in Ukraine, hit Western targets in Ukraine and unleashed a drone incursion into Poland.”

A photo from Jamie Keller Davis for the NYT: a color photo of a Chicago skyline showing three buildings photographed from street level. The one in the center has brown brick-like walls, and a very large poster advertising ChatGPT. The poster shows a conversation between a hypothetical student and ChatGPT: "Can you quiz me on the muscles of the leg?" "Can you build me a first time marathon training plan?" The text at the bottom of the poster reads: "ChatGPT Plus is free during finals.

This technology is so clearly designed to profit off cheating and struggling students--its insidious. And yet universities keep announcing how they're allowing this company into its midst, to exploit and incapacitate our students even more

WTF

Russia’s war is escalating, not ending.

We must raise the cost on Moscow, strengthen support for Ukraine, and invest in Europe’s defence.

The EU plays a major role and we will support initiatives like the Eastern Border Shield defence line. (2/2)

Hitting Poland with drones is just the start – expect more tests from Putin The Nato response to Russian drones targeting Poland must go beyond diplomatic disapproval – and result in real action, writes Keir Giles. Failure to do so will encourage Putin to test the West’s reso...

Debating whether and how Russia intended to violate Polish airspace is a distraction: either way, Europe and NATO need to take countermeasures that will make sure Moscow does not walk away thinking this is a risk-free venture, then do it again and more.

The White House Press Secretary, the official spokesperson for the Trump administration, told reporters in an official briefing that the president wants to invade "every Democrat-run city" with troops.

Any media still pretending that this is about "crime" is making a conscious choice to lie to you.

Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵

In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians.

We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties.

Pushing Trump a bit more to see what he will put up with and damage NATO in the process.

In a new paper we show how misinformation derails support for public action on climate change by casting doubt on the scientific consensus (which undermines public opinion).

Disinformers attack expert consensus because they know it works.
