1/ Many said Science went overboard on its cover for those Meta studies. Science published my take yesterday. It shows Meta’s algorithms actually tended NOT to increase ideological segregation in general, at least in 2020

Typisches RomCom Thema: Bevor Protagonist*in (wir) mit Partner*in (X) Schluss machen kann, bereitet Partner*in selbst Exitstrategie vor. Wir fühlen uns im ersten Moment überrascht, sind aber wenige Folgen später dankbar & verlieben uns in Nebencharakter, der/die ab nun wiederkehrende Rolle bekommt.

Die Demaskierung mancher Linker, was die jüdische Frage angeht, ist echt hart.
Wem nach 1000x „Ja Aber“ noch immer keine Verurteilung von Terroristen gelingt, weiß, was er tut.
Und bevor es hier losbricht:

@marhai.bsky.social and @jajuenger.bsky.social & Chantal Gärtner have written books about Computational Communication Science #ccs #css. @mscharkow.bsky.social and I think they are good; go read them or give them to your German students. Also, please don't publish (exclusively) with springer.com.

Screenshot of the starting paragraph of our book review: "Sammelrezension
1.
Haim, Mario: Computational Communication Science: Eine Einführung. Wiesbaden: Springer Fachmedien 2023. 358 Seiten. Preis: € 34,99.

2.
Jünger, Jakob/Gärtner, Chantal: Computational Methods für die Sozial- und Geisteswissenschaften. Wiesbaden: Springer Fachmedien 2023. 462 Seiten. Preis: Open Access.

Mario Haim sowie Jakob Jünger und Chantal Gärtner haben fast zeitgleich Lehrbücher veröffentlicht, die „Computational“ im Titel tragen. Computational Communication Science (CCS) und ihre Forschungsmethoden sind im Kern der Kommunikationswissenschaft angekommen. Bereits Bachelor-Studierende sollen von den Grundlagen der CCS gehört haben und möglichst niedrigschwellige Angebote erhalten, um sich in den Methoden auszuprobieren. Den Autor:innen der beiden Lehrbücher gebührt uneingeschränkter Respekt dafür, sich der Herausforderung gestellt zu haben, ein neues Lehrbuch und damit auch ein Curriculum für CCS zu ..."
