t’s nice to be feted as a winner, as the U.S. men's Olympic hockey team has been.
But who’s celebrating you – and why they’re doing it – matters more.
Athletes would be wise to recognize that, in this climate, celebration is easily repurposed into political capital.
I ask my students to imagine sending a robot that looks like them to gym class to do their pushups or laps or whatever. They understand practice in the context of physical work, and somehow the analogy to mental work makes it click.
(This also explains why it's not OK to resubmit old assignments!)
Publicly supporting women is nice, but what really matters is what men do behind closed doors. What matters is how they hold each other accountable.
The men’s hockey team shouldn’t get a pass because they were in the locker room—that’s where women need their support the most.

Why did ICE shackle a British tourist, a grandmother with no criminal record, who had all the correct papers, and lock her in a cell for SIX WEEKS??
Because ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone.
Eliminate this agency now.
Trump will have a plan to reconstruct a lot of his tariffs after this SCOTUS ruling through a combination of other legal authorities (232, 301, 122). But those authorities are more narrow and process-intensive, so he has lost the ability to just rapidly slap tariffs on any country on a day's notice

The political effects of X's feed algorithm https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-026-10098-2 Received: 16 December 2024 Accepted: 4 January 2026 Published online: 18 February 2026 Open access • Check for updates Germain Gauthier,5, Roland Hodler?5, Philine Widmer35 & Ekaterina Zhuravskaya3,4,5 m 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.
So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.
