The thread below: - summarizes a magazine feature that probably took months to report - screenshots huge swaths of the text - never even links to it Our dominant information platforms not only tolerate this kind of theft, they incentivize it. No wonder the media are struggling.

🚨 🚨 Take the Blinders Off A 🧵 Every year or so—often after a high-profile election—come the same columns I’ve read for years: “What’s Happened To Ohio?” or “What’s Wrong With Ohio?” or “Why Is Ohio No Longer a Bellwether State?” 1/
Confidence in "the press" declines linearly with getting your news from social media. Multi-causal, but one cause is online news commentary is overwhelmingly antagonistic ("'they' are wrong, I am right"), so everybody likes their news, which tells them to distrust The News

all the discourse on the Michigan results is pretty sloppy. Biden and Trump are both effectively incumbents, and both are showing weakness in their primaries. Michigan was decided by 10k votes in 2016 and Biden probably can't win without it. 50k uncommitted dems tonight.

Twitter use is related to decreases in well-being + increases in sense of belonging, polarization, outrage, and boredom. Doomscrolling was related to the drop in well-being, using it for entertainment was linked to the increase in polarization: nature.com/articles/s4427…

More than twice the number of Palestinian refugees in 1948. More than twice, probably, number of homes destroyed in 1948. Three or four times the number of casualties. An unmitigated catastrophe that will cast a shadow for generations. What will it take to stop it?
