Reading serious takes that make the whole situation about Trump as if he was the only reason we are where we are is incredibly depressing
Sure, he's pushed things further and faster than predicted but the rise of reactionary politics predates him and started in the mainstream

💡 PhD student @rokuppers.bsky.social's new paper uses latent class analysis to explore a new dimension of populist politics.
He challenges common assumptions that populism can be understood as the result of more traditional, regressive identities.

Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵
In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians.
We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties.

Celeste Caeiro has died at the age of 91. She gave Portugal's Carnation Revolution its name by distributing free carnations to the military that overthrew the dictatorship on April 25, 1974. The red carnation became a symbol of our freedom. Rest in peace.

Hope this will be useful for the people thinking about grad school!

People moving to Bluesky is not a structural solution to monopoly tendencies and network effects. For that you would need a real shift towards a fediverse architecture, meaning your contacts/content is platform-independent. But some differentiation in terms of platforms people use can only be good.
