"To investigate the mechanism, we analysed users’ feed content and behaviour. We found that the algorithm promotes conservative content and demotes posts by traditional media. Exposure to algorithmic content leads users to follow conservative political activist accounts, which they continue to follow even after switching off the algorithm, helping explain the asymmetry in effects."

The political effects of X’s feed algorithm
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-10098-2

Among users initially on a chronological feed, 7 weeks of exposure to X’s algorithmic feed in 2023 shifted political attitudes and account-following behaviour in a more conservative direction compared with those remaining on a chronological feed, whereas switching the feed setting in the opposite direction, from algorithmic to chronological, had no effect.
Le Monde: Paris prosecutors raid French offices of Elon Musk's X - https://www.lemonde.fr/en/police-and-justice/article/2026/02/03/paris-prosecutors-raid-french-offices-of-elon-musk-s-x_6750083_105.html
The investigation into X focuses on possession of child pornography and denial of crimes against humanity, which are related to xAI Grok. However, the inquiry is at least tangentially related to an investigation into M Musk himself over possible political interference in France, and exfiltration of private data protected in the #EU.
@fraunora Es ist Schade, dass der @fcstpauli das Fedi nach einem halben Jahr für Bsky verlassen hat - aber Fußballvereine nutzen das selbe Argument wie Politiker in Sachen Xitter: "Die Leute sind dort - und die Reichweite ist höher" --- aber "Wandeln durch Handeln" ist möglich, wobei die Willigkeit bei vielen aus Gewohnheit wohl gering ist.

Then pop along to https://x.com/DeputySecState/status/1966114506116927972 to help out Christopher Landau, the 23rd Deputy Secretary at the US State Department.
Christopher wants you to.report people who glorify violence and hatred. You could start with most members of the Knesset, or Isaac Herzog.
The bird population is strange this year. Already found 2 dead on the balcony and 1 in front of the house.
Seems like the do fly against the wall \ windows. Not sure what the root cause of that is.
Might be that more birds are living nearby this summer making such events more likely.
