Come for the disclosures, stay for the elected official recognitions, graphic suggestions, style guide issues, you name it. Always making it better and better ✨

[Eleanor Klibanoff @eklib]

What a way for the world to learn about @TexasTribune’s custom CMS, which auto-populates financial disclosures based on keywords in the story.

"In one example, a website claimed to offer facts about climate science, but was actually tied to the fossil fuel industry. It duped nearly 97 percent of the students."

“This is one of the few misinformation interventions that I’ve seen at least that has worked not just across the conspiratorial spectrum but across the political spectrum.” These are encouraging results for media literacy. https://t.co/pHmBwliDSq

[ARCHIVED NASA Exoplanets @NASAExoplanets]

The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a ~vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel. A galaxy cluster has so much gas that we've picked up actual sound. Here it's amplified, and mixed with other data, to hear a black hole!

Ezra Klein goes media studies. I especially struggle with social video, its sounds emanating from devices into our public and private spaces, competing only with each other…the rest of the world can’t compete

This is a great frame for our feelings while doomscrolling and fatigue of “takes”: the internet is built to layer onto the past. “Fighting about what has happened is far easier than imagining what could happen.” https://t.co/DnQ7DXWY3I via @cwarzel

Sad news, @nytarchives on Twitter is retiring after eight years. I've been lucky enough to post on this scrappy little account hundreds of times and met lots of passionate folks interested in our archives. Here's my favorite tweets! 🧵

No one can define what "AI" means, and that's the point.

"It’s a phrase that now functions in the vernacular primarily to obfuscate, alienate, and glamorize."

I applaud this effort to stop giving false agency to a bunch of computers.

[Georgetown Privacy @GeorgetownCPT]

In our newest blog post, Emily Tucker draws on Alan Turing and James Baldwin to explain why you won't hear us say “artificial intelligence,” “AI,” or “machine learning” in our work anymore.

My toddler is appropriately entranced by the “Around the World” video. What other music vids aren’t for kids but are perfect for them? https://t.co/wF8IWl96zI
