Friends - we want to use our quarantime to do some good for the world. So we are launching an "Op-Ed Challenge" to see if we can create a community of discussion around the NY Times Op-Ed page, which will create a byproduct quality check of each of those articles... in 90 days.

Thoughtful and humane article on why sharing memes is fun but bad for you, and the public.

Twitter users are now waiting more that 60 times longer after clicking links to competitors' websites, such as Facebook, Instagram, Substack, and Bluesky. https://t.co/3xxG6YVuOm

"The advent of automatic, multiple-choice scoring technology has fundamentally shaped American education more than perhaps any other single thing. Now its demise could do the same." This by @matteo_wong is so fascinating https://t.co/RknlqZgN3O

SF-based @Fiskkit founder @JohnGPettus called 230 “the rock on which all websites that deal in user-generated content are built—they would not exist if people could sue companies for whatever their users put online.” https://t.co/YmLPpAAhQQ

Totally agree with @jappleby - 99% of times rushing to new platforms makes absolutely no sense for your strategy.

Plus, an old mantra of mine: “Don’t go on a platform if you have nothing to say on it.”

Foi publicado meu segundo artigo no site do @IC4ML sobre educação midiática no contexto da aprendizagem permanente (de 3).

Orgulhoso em fazer parte do board do IC4ML porque essa é uma das primeiras organizações de educação midiática do mundo.

here's my mostly serious but not scientific take on twitter and journalism

[Mark Rubin @RubinPsyc]

Hurt us if you have to; just don’t help them!!

New study finds “that individuals prefer to harm their own group rather than provide even minimal support to an opposing group across polarized issues (abortion access, political party, gun rights).”
