Want less clickbait? Stop reading and sharing it. You think Newsweek cares you say the article sucked? No. They care that you read and shared it. #SayNoToClickbait
Karen Springer @SpringerThey keep writing those stories because people keep reading and sharing them. Those publications don't know or care if you are sharing it because you think it sucks. People share clickbait here ALL the time. "Look how awful this is!!" doesn't translate to the people who put out the clickbait.10:43 AM - May 11, 2024

And yet you see Accuracy Alerts working extremely well, and it will only get better from here. Humans can't fact-check thousands of posts a minute in real-time. So by the time the claim is fact-checked by a human, it will already be seen by thousands. 🤷🏾♂️
Jeremy Redlien @queerallclosetsI’m not anti AI or anything (more AI agnostic) I’m just not sure fact checking is a good use for AI and think it’s probably something better left to humans.08:55 AM - May 11, 2024

Aurora Australis has been reaching into the Southern Hemisphere mid-latitudes recently. Apparently we're entering a phase of the sun cycle where this will be a more common occurrence over the next few years.

In response to Linda T.
The Billionaire Boys Club is full of dudes who never grew up or had the morals and character necessary to handle their obscene amounts of $$$ well. It's like asking Peter Pan to discuss anything grown-up & meaningful. How about turning the spotlight on folks doing good instead of trust-fund babies?

Years ago, the U.S. moved heaven & earth to bring Osama bin Laden to justice. Not because he flew an airplane into the World Trade Center, but because he incited his followers to do it for him.
Right now, the world wonders why the hell Donald Trump is still walking around free.

'The Outdoor Type' was a hit for The Lemonheads in 1997, but it was actually a cover of the song by Australian band Smudge first released in 1993.

YES! 👇 This thing in America of portraying lack of relevant experience in public administration as a positive for government is so fucking asinine. Imagine going for literally any other job and arguing your total lack of experience in the field is exactly why you're qualified. It's pure idiocy.
Angela @LumpySpaceAngelaIt still pisses me off that the media painted HRC as "too prepared" as if that's a negative. I'm sick and tired of professionals with years of education and experience being criticized and questioned by people who have no business opining on what the professionals are experts in.05:34 PM - May 02, 2024

Wow. But this fits with Corey Robin's theory of conservatism.
A conservative believes a minority of the population was born to rule, and everyone else was born to follow their rules, and the world is in harmony when the born rulers are in charge.
I believe this is truly how they view

5) This year, instead of voting your personal feelings and demands, and waiting to post thanks to Black voters after, fight and vote for what's best for this country. It doesn't always feel awesome and exhilarating, but it beats hell out of everything you felt from 2016-20. And this will be worse.

4) Black folks are having the same convo as others, but data is data. If we withheld our votes every election unless there was a candidate who centered us and shared our values...well... We understand there are people who want to, and will, send us back to the '30s. At the earliest.

Considerations as we wade into Monday.
1) Trump supporters aren't stupid, gullible or ignoring his behavior. They approve of and support it. Softening and excusing that is deep cultural training. Undo it. Save everyone the stress and inundation of your continued denials. Please.

At some point we'll learn that a lot of that 'Executive Time' in Trump's presidential schedule was actually his nap time - it was just concealed in order to preserve a certain image.
Remember every Trump accusation is a confession - including labelling his opponent "Sleepy".

Christopher Bouzy @cbouzyI am not an attorney, and the following opinion is formed from personal observations and life experiences. I think there's a strong possibility that Trump will be convicted in NY. Initially, I was doubtful, but hearing that Trump reportedly sleeps through the trial each day changed my perspective.07:05 AM - May 01, 2024

In Australia, it took one mass shooting to upend the system & change the laws. in the US 19 children die while 400 officers mill around aimlessly and nothing changes. Some good reading links in the ALT TEXT of the image.

Students are just being bombarded with info, much of it incomplete or intentionally misleading. This is going to cause more and more strife, and if colleges and law enforcement are not careful, violence by students and police from being puppeteered. Please make sure your students are informed.
