@PSBJ I don’t love the new approach to baiting viewers to click a link to complete just the headline. It’s too much too often and I’ve discovered it’s not worth clicking most of the time. So now I just never click at all. I recommend re-thinking this strategy.

@elonmusk @Tesla how is it that when you fill out the form on the Tesla website and select the option to *only* be contacted by email, not phone, the next morning you get a 830a robocall from Tesla?

I published a new essay in Noema ab design & collective behavior on social networks. If you’ve ever seen a murmuration of starlings - big flocks of birds that careen around the sky at dusk - you’ve seen collective behavior.

But why do they do that?

[Brett Bruen @BrettBruen]

In my latest for @NPR I argue that Biden, "has got to stop putting Putin in the driver's seat so often. Such a reactive response has enabled him to dominate the global agenda & distract us from other critical priorities..."
