Can’t think of a better reason to (temporarily) come out of twitter retirement than to celebrate @LauraMDMaguire’s latest important contribution to resilience research! 🎉 I am extremely honored to have been included among great leaders @cfhirschorn @cloax @zperkov and Ariel Wei.

This thread and the OTM segment wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm… are an insightful take on right-wing media and the cult they inspire.
As a former conservative activist and journalist, it has been so frustrating to see my former compatriots spreading wild and unchecked claims about "voter fraud." @jacknicas of the NYT took a deep look at claims of "dead" people in Michigan voting. Link in next tweet.

Look up what’s trending now on #ProudBoys. You’re welcome, Internet.
My new favorite slogan: “Make America not actively on fire again” 😂 Thanks @nbcsnl. I very much needed that this morning!
“We eventually cleaned up the waste. It’s an open question whether we can clean up after Facebook.”
"Our democracy can survive a pandemic. It is unclear if it can survive a platform optimized for conspiratorial thinking. Like steel companies... dumping poisonous waste into waterways, Facebook pumps paranoia and disinformation into the body politic."

Very inspiring projects and stories for these divisive times. Modeling civil discourse, finding common ground, putting empathy before ideology. I needed these this weekend.

Scientific American has never endorsed a presidential candidate in our 175-year history—until now.

I know we're all numb, but it is ASTONISHING to me that a President who hobbled both the CDC and the FDA in the midst of a global pandemic that has killed nearly 190,000 Americans is still in a contender in this election, instead of being perp-walked out of the Oval Office.
