Fact-checking wasn’t “biased” against conservatives. Conservatives just shared more false content. If there’s a sportsball game and one team fouls four times as much, it’s not “biased” for the ref to call four times as many fouls against that team.

Meta is dropping fact-checking to avoid anti-conservative bias- but is there actually evidence of bias?
We this test empirically & find that conservatives
* ARE suspended more
* BUT share more misinfo
So suspension isn't necessarily evidence of bias www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Wikipedia is the last major, visible platform for facts that they can’t buy. The attacks are going to be merciless.
Scoop: I obtained a confidential presentation outlining how a major conservative think tanks plans to go after volunteer editors on Wikipedia who it says are "abusing their position" and promoting antisemitism

Scoop: Heritage Foundation plans to ‘identify and target’ Wikipedia editors

Just finished Black Doves. It was fun, action-packed and slightly farcical. Like a sophisticated Guy Richie offering, with a gallery of odd-ball rogues to root for, it also had some poignant moments. Overall, an enjoyable Christmas thriller. I’ll be there for Season 2!

Well, Threads is officially going the way of Twitter. Does anyone have a “Starter Pack” of Meta refugees? I enjoyed it over there for a time.

Starting to put together my January-April pitches for NPR, so if you have a novel coming, let me know. Horror/science fiction/etc go to NYT and Locus, so I’m mostly looking for literary fiction, short story collections, nonfiction, and whatever else you got.
