A thread for today & even more for tomorrow
While I was enmeshed in the conservative media tradition, I viewed lefty media thinkers like @jayrosen_nyu as arguing that journalism was supposed to be liberally biased. I was wrong. I realized later that I didn't understand that journalism is supposed to portray reality.

After an incident of mass violence, the first question we often ask is why? Our latest piece seeks to help us better understand what we should be thinking about when trying to answer this question. Unfortunately the reason is usually never simple.
With conspiracy ideology more prevalent than ever, & new narratives likely surrounding the 2024 US elections, we examined 3 recent violent incidents motivated by conspiratorial thinking. What does this tell us about preventing extremist violence? 👇isdglobal.org/digital_dispat…

The assassination attempt on Trump at a rally this wknd is the latest example of a larger ongoing trend of violence against public officials & politicians amid growing political polarization in the US. @KatKeneally talks to @NBCNews about it. isdglobal.org/isd-in-the-new…

In defense of YouTube’s 1/10 feature… I think it’s supposed to help you only compare to your own personal best…
Vs judging your content against the whole of YouTube.
I think it’s easy for smaller YouTubers to get caught up in keeping up with the Jones’s when it comes to the channels they watch, Vs the channel they are building…
A general lack of understanding the subject answers all 3 questions. A lack of deeply understanding the core business answers the difference between A & B.
Three questions: CEOs are receiving extreme pressure to adopt AI as quickly as possible.
A) Board and Investors want CEOs to adopt AI as quickly as possible, why?
B) Interesting, the group that wants to slow adoption is Employees, why?
C) Is the Metaverse or Web3 even important to corporations anymore?

the chyron says I "melted down" at unmasked passengers, that straight up did not happen. I didn't even speak to another passenger (why would I!?) and I wasn't the only one masking on my flight. Everyone on the plane was normal. Fox is always making up total fiction about my life
