A couple months ago I was on the radio with a TN Dem congressional candidate and the former GOP Speaker of the TN House. They BOTH despised this guy πŸ˜…

Thanks for this! Phone videos we are getting equate to multiple independent primary sources of information. Propoganada is most potent when there is ambiguity.

Phone videos provide multiple independent primary sources of information. And all without being there ourselves (which honestly might give us a more narrow account since we would just have our one pair of eyes). Propoganada is most potent when there is ambiguity. One reason this is failing.

I started watching 2 shows while super sick last week. The first was Twin Peaks. This is a great one to watch while nodding in and out of consciousness. Adds to the dream-like nature. The other was The Pitt. I found myself rooting for the patients to not make it and end the misery...I was very sick.

Disgusting. I ride from Xenia to YS everyday in the summer to get hummus at CC. This is gross.

Asked my typical question, "Why are you interested in this course?" in Intro American Gov. Student answered, "Well this new government seems pretty interested in me, so I need to get interested in them." Great answer.

Really proud of my friend Peter from college. He was always the smartest, kindest person in the room. And now everyone knows he's wicked funny, he was on the Daily Show talking about AI! youtu.be/RcPthlvzMY8?...

It's been a cool race to watch. Aftyn has done well to focus on affordability on the air waves while using her social media to remind her base, "hey we still care about the other stuff, but we gotta win on this part of the message." Hope my vote is pivotal πŸ˜….

I live in Tennessee's 7th district with the Aftyn Behn special election. Just got the neighborhood social pressure treatment and some new "compared to others in the state" one. Neat

Someone asked me what my "last meal" would be and I immediately answered, "One of the pardoned Thanksgiving Turkeys." I have never felt so clever, funny, and quick witted.

Elon should do matrix algebra on a live stream. If he gets a passing grade, I'll buy a Tesla.

In Post-Authenticity AI Age, Knowledge Institutions Matter More than Ever | TechPolicy.Press The pressing question is whether we can rebuild epistemic infrastructure before norms of authenticity decay beyond repair, writes John Wihbey.

HumansΒ evolved strong mechanismsΒ for evaluating credibility. Yet these depend on an information ecosystem rich in trustworthy institutions and credible choices. The question is whether we can rebuild this epistemic infrastructure before norms of authenticity decay beyond repair, writes John Wihbey.
