The graph shows the political content of social media 18-24-year olds see, first in three country average (58% right wing, 16% center, 26% left wing) and then in Finland (67% right wing, 10% center, 23% left wing). The study concludes that social media business models incentivize this.

A study of social media content 18-24-year olds see in #Finland, #France and #Romania shows that algorithms overwhelmingly feed them right-wing political content - whether or not the users are interested.

Three country average for right wing content was 58% - in Finland, 67%!

Don’t worry; we masked inside, and I just had the latest Pfizer MRNA Covid booster three weeks ago.

Allegedly we’re on Highway 101 South in San Juan Batista, but this is OBVIOUSLY NOT TRUE.

One of the best, and most ridiculous, annual events in Minnesota sports is the hair on the boys’ hockey teams.

Sometimes bleached, sometimes long flowing β€˜70s mullets, sometimes both. The hockey hair is always a side show to the actual playing of the games. Never know if you’ll get on camera again!

How ICE Uses AI to Automate Authoritarianism From the frontlines of ICE’s occupation of Minneapolis, Kairos Fellows senior campaigner Irna Landrum considers the use of AI in the immigration crackdown.

This excellent front-line account of ICE's "automated authoritarianism" by Minneapolis resident Irna Landrum carefully lays out other building blocks of this machine:

Private data like LexisNexis, DOGE's stolen data, Medicare and Medicaid, and state-level data like DMV records

I am pretty concerned about a world where there's only 2-3 companies that can run these models. I have been spending the last few days idly musing about a coop that sets up hardware and runs the open models.

University of Otago professor of public health Michael Baker "said the virus was still New Zealand's most impactful infectious disease - equating to about 1000 deaths a year - compared to influenza which accounted for about 500."

How the latest regional conflict is reshaping the Middle East A fictional account of a third Gulf war between America, Israel and Iran explores how such a conflict might reshape Middle Eastern geopolitics and regional alliances.

It is a struggle for us every week to avoid making the entire paper consist of "How country X reacted to Trump's latest thing." This is a genuine problem that has no easy solution. Anyway, here's our briefing www.economist.com/briefing/202...

Toad was asleep, and he was having a dream.

He was on stage, and he was wearing a costume.

Toad looked out into the dark.

Frog was sitting in the theater.

One thing I find fascinating about antique malls and collector stores is that I tend to see more Star Wars from the 1970s and 1980s than I do Transformers, at all, of any era. Very little in the way of robots in disguise at the second hand shops.

Is a "kinetic military operation" a "vibe war," for instance.

Is a selfie a "vibe portrait."

Is social media virality "vibe journalism."
