@simonmontefiore Congratulations! But you chose a noisy corner for that excellent-looking macchiato, I think. (I recognize it.)

Looking forward to reading your book!

Excited to have a young Barred Owl considering making Central Park its home! It's been exploring the park over the last few days and seems to like what it sees! ❤️🦉❤️ #Owls #CentralPark #birdcpp

"Dolly went through plenty [of suffering]. But she understood...there is also value in refusing to let suffering become the most interesting thing about you. In an era of trauma farming, Dolly was farming joy and resilience, in moments big and small."

Imagination Library has 40k followers, but should have MORE. If you can't donate in Dolly's honor, then we could at least help grow the platform and its visibility by following.

@simonmontefiore @wnbooks (Mostly) retired editor here.
I'm mesmerized by that video.
It's been a long time since I saw a set of proofs like that.
I have mixed feelings about it!
But many congratulations on such a feat.
I look forward to reading the book.

@veritasvates @theblastedheath @sentantiq @acequeenkingpin I don't read or know Greek, but that sounds best/most poetic in English: "the winey sea."

That's my opinion as a longtime editorial professional. I'm thinking of both the smooth aural component and the work being translated.

@DAMendelsohnNYC *very* cool
and so relatable--in the sense that it makes him human, like the rest of us mere mortals

Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch captured this video of Earth outside the windows of the Orion spacecraft during the second flight day of the mission. Orion was roughly 33,800 miles (54,500 km) away from Earth when @Astro_Christina took this video.

This accounts for the extremely toxic atmosphere in many online spaces.

[Jay Van Bavel, PhD @jayvanbavel]

A small fraction of online actors now exerts outsized influence over what the public sees, believes, and argues about.
In a new short review paper, we trace how social media influencers can turn fringe claims into viral narratives—often by exploiting a feedback loop between influencers, algorithms, and crowds.
As such, the modern information environment enables a tyranny of the minority: extreme and coordinated voices dominate attention, distort perceived social norms, and create a “funhouse mirror” version of public opinion that makes fringe positions look common and conflict look inevitable.
We synthesize emerging evidence that a tiny number of highly active users drives a disproportionate share of misinformation and toxicity, and explain how platform incentives reward moralized, identity-salient, and emotionally charged content.
We conclude by outlining pragmatic responses—individual, institutional, and policy-level—and by highlighting how generative AI could either accelerate bespoke realities or help rebuild shared understanding, depending on how these systems are designed and governed. https://t.co/9oZRF8y8mL

We (@PillaiRaunak & @steverathje2) reviewed @noUpside's fantastic book "INVISIBLE RULERS" and connected it to the research we have been doing on this topic for the past decade.
