New from me: a conversation with RFK Jr. shows how completely Spotify has given up on trying to stem Joe Rogan's egregious vaccine and medical misinformation https://t.co/o3HEBdu5li
I have reinstalled Twitter to respond to this story and make sure my voice is fully heard. I am Casey.
My real name is Alex but my mom decided it would be best to hide it for anonymity. But this is my story, not hers. This is not the free press’s story.
scoop: last year, during all the joe rogan controversy, spotify's ceo announced a $100 million fund to amplify the work of creators from historically marginalized backgrounds. as the fund rounded out its first year, less than 10% of it had been spent https://t.co/ZIgSqzbdjT
An algorithm decided you should see this tweet! Our new paper shows a big problem with algorithmic curation: it hides content by people not like you (different races for example).
You say: sure, that’s because users themselves are prejudiced.
We say: it's something more!

This season of The Turning: Room of Mirrors podcast is one of the most important things I’ve ever listened to. Dancer kids are a special breed. Thank you for speaking to us, @ejlantz
As a professional feminist and one-time ballet dancer (for nearly 30 years of my life), I am fully obsessed with this podcast, The Turning: Room of Mirrors, from @ejlantz. If you have thoughts about gender politics and/or Balanchine, it’s a must-listen! https://t.co/3S65ISsDYx
Through a series of intimate interviews with dancers and ballet scholars, @ejlantz cranes for a glimpse into American ballet’s inner sanctum. https://t.co/erQzMancRe
"The opening monologue seems deliberately discombobulating, spinning and whirling as it feeds us provocative spoonfuls of setting and character."
Finally got to be deliberately discombobulating and I think we're even getting away with it... Thank you for this review.
