Wrote about X's Election Integrity Community which is the purest distillation of using a platform as an efficient incitement machine/bullshit/paranoia engine. And how it is so very clear that this chaos is the return on Musk's $44 billion investment (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Die AfD ist wieder über 20%. Dabei hat die Bundesregierung doch dafür gesorgt dass die Asylanträge zurückgehen, dass endlich mehr abgeschoben wird, dass die Grenzen kontrolliert, Bezahlkarten eingeführt werden. Könnte es vielleicht sein dass rechte Politik nicht gegen Rechtsextreme hilft?

The right’s “waste and fraud” frame is a replay of the same participatory propaganda games they played w/ “voter fraud” in 2020, “censorship” in 2022, and any number of anti-immigration frames in 2024. Set the frame, inspire the generation of “evidence” to fit it, amplify that evidence, and repeat.

Some thoughts on institutional reform in the UK, spurred by the upcoming Australian elections. Australia has traditionally been classified, with Britain other former colonies, as a "Westminster democracy" - characterised by a majoritarian system and fusion of legislative and executive powers. 🧵

This is just an incredible story. A leadership team from Princeton University Press went on a propaganda tour in Xinjiang (strangely, in a subsequent public statement the press described some of the basic mechanics of a propaganda tour when defending its actions).

The Misleading Panic over Misinformation
People can’t agree on how to define misinformation and its related terms, making regulation nearly impossible. Instead, free expression serves as a better tool for discovering truth.

Are tailored ads in political campaigns as persuasive as conventional wisdom holds? 📢

In joint work w/ @heikekluever.bsky.social we present evidence from a field experiment with the German Greens ahead of the 2024 European Elections calling this into question 🤔

🚨In PNAS🚨
The right often accuses fact-checkers of political bias
But we analyzed Community Notes on Musk's X and found posts flagged as "misleading" are 2.3x more likely to be written by Reps than Dems!
The issue is Reps sharing misinformation, not fact-checker bias...

The most popular thing I did on the old site was telling people about my rejections. Failure and rejection is a big part of academic life. It happens to all of us -- well, at least everyone I know. This thread lists mine and is founded on the hope it helps other people cope better with their own.
