The algorithms are genuinely awful for both society and mental health, though. I see your point about how Chris Murphy frames this, but it's genuinely bad. Strongly recommend the book The Chaos Machine on this topic.

Great @alex_sammon piece today on conservative, massively wealthy car dealership owners trying to sabotage the EV transition.

Fantastic @alex_sammon piece on the parasitic, hyperconservative car dealer industry and their attempts to sabotage the EV transition.

This is an incredibly important piece by @Dahlialithwick on how the way journalists cover the Supreme Court needs to change.

People need to read this piece on how Feinstein's staff has been covering up this situation, and how the gerontocracy rotting away American governance perpetuates itself.

Good thread. A lot of right-wingers seem confused about how a Hispanic man could identify with Nazi ideology. First, whiteness is fluid. But more importantly, it's not just about race. Fascist ideology is just as much about misogyny, homophobia and traditional gender roles.

Good thread here on how crime data can be used misleadingly by white supremacists. Control for age and wealth and you get very different numbers, even without factoring in biased prosecutions and other systemic issues.
