If you are interested in the effects of media/tech on human development, democracy, and society, you must follow my NYU colleague @jayvanbavel. High quality research summaries and interpretation:
If you’ve had a sneaking suspicion that your algorithm is feeding you content specifically designed to enrage you, you might be onto something. Social media algorithms reward moral outrage, giving extreme voices more visibility than they might otherwise have and distorting our perceptions of what other people actually believe.
Meanwhile, AI chatbots are increasingly telling us what we want to hear, reinforcing our existing beliefs, while remote work and digital communication can come at the expense of the everyday interactions that build trust and strengthen relationships.
I shares ideas for bringing people together and pushing back against loneliness and isolation in an increasingly digital world. By creating healthier social norms within organizations and encouraging leaders to prioritize meaningful connections with their teams, we can start breaking down the walls that divide us and rediscover the power of us.

See ya.
I’ve never seen airline travel this bad. I’m now surprised when a flight leaves on time. I’d estimate that about a quarter of flights do that now.

Just saw #TheBalladOfWallisIsland for the second time in a month. It got even better. I love intimate stories in which the setting is as much a character as the characters.

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?
Because we gave them that L in 1776.

Always worth repeating: the original Bourne film trilogy is as close to perfection as you’ll find in action filmmaking.
I find filmmaking the most creative art of all. It combines so many other arts: writing, images, music. One of my great joys after writing a script is storyboarding — turning my words into pictures. It's simultaneously exhausting and exhilarating.
