We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

New paper with Yanna Krupnikov out in Political Communication! 🎉 We know moral-emotional content ("moral outrage") spreads fast on social media. But does that mean people actually want to see it? We tested whether people select this content when given the choice - turns out, not really.

Rethinking Assumptions About Moral Content Selection: Moral-Emotional Content May Be Less Appealing Than Assumed
Recent work has shown that moral-emotional content spreads rapidly on social media platforms such as X (Twitter). These patterns have led to concerns that social media facilitates the spread of mor...

The cool thing about the Internet is that if you’re fan of klezmer music or gothic literature in rural Iowa, you can find your people. The uncool thing is that this has also evidently worked for nutbag fascists.

I've been resisting it, but I think I've been @leedrutman.bsky.social pilled on proportional representation for america. It doesn't prevent democratic backsliding in all countries — and can sometimes facilitate it. But it seems like a uniquely appropriate solution for the US' current problems.

Sad to see the Ides of March becoming commercialised like this. I really feel like we're losing track of the true spirit of the holiday. It's not about how many knives you can stick in a tyrant all at once, it's about the whole community coming together to stab the tyrant as many times as possible.

Get rid of daylight savings, and replace it with Standard Dawn Time. When the sun rises, that’s 6 am local time, and we count forward from there, all year long. It’s time to break up Big Clock.

The war with Iran is just the latest example of the United States being much too involved in the regional problems of a part of the globe that is very far away and where our actual interests are limited. www.slowboring.com/p/america-sh...

America should be less involved in the Middle East
We need to let friendly countries in the area sort out their own problems.

Not just any man though—Reacher asks “what if *Sherlock Holmes* was a giant corn-fed American.” Intense eye for details that others miss, brilliant and self-assured, antisocial and pathologically blunt, seamlessly navigates the underbelly of society. Just huge and plainspoken instead of foppish.
