It's book launch day! Very excited and super thankful. If you can help me amplify with a share, that would be amazing. Or, if you read it and want to tell people about it, that would be pretty rad too! Thanks again @mitpress.bsky.social, and many more who helped along the way.

“And while those numbers were associated largely with the far right” is doing a lot of work here.
What I consider to be bad faith framing aside, surely journalism should be more than “I don’t know what this means, but it could be bad”? Isn’t finding out what it means the entire point?

Loving the posts and likes on this article!
I think people would get even more out of reading it.
This is no basic explainer on Gamergate. I go deep into the psychology, tactics, and limits of troll tantrums as fascist movements.

Everyone should play fantasy football at least once, just to experience the complex emotional journey of deciding which 3rd-string running back will be the difference between winning $120 and having to eat horribly spicy wings while your friends watch.
Everyone should play fantasy football at least once, just to experience the complex emotional journey of spending 3 weeks doing obsessive research on 3rd-string running backs only to have your season ended week 1 because your starting quarterback got sat on by a bear person.
Everyone should play fantasy football at least once, just to experience the complex emotional journey of gambling on every high upside 3rd-string running back available only to realize that you drafted zero actual starters and no quarterback.
Everyone should play fantasy football at least once, just to experience the complex emotional journey of spending 4 months studying player data only to be brutally taught that “regression to the mean” sometimes means every other team in the league will have their best week of the season against you.
