This past Saturday, I and about 40,000 other Philadelphians amassed at Ben Franklin Parkway here in Philadelphia for the 3rd No Kings Rally. Though I wanted to attend the first two, held in June and October of 2025, prior commitments prevented me from doing so. This time around, I was in town and available, so there was no way I was going to miss it. I wasn't sure what to expect at the rally, but what I experienced that day was something I didn't even realize I needed... These days, it's […]

The article reports that turning on X’s feed algorithm shifted users’ political opinions toward the right, with the effect persisting after the algorithm was turned off. A seven-week field experiment with 4,965 participants found increased conservatism in policy views and changes in attitudes toward current events, driven by engagement with algorithmically promoted content.

This topic is of interest to psychology because it highlights how environment and repeated exposure shape attitudes and political cognition, illustrating mechanisms of social influence, perception of information, and the persistence of behavioral change beyond initial exposure.

Africa: Trump's Inauguration Speech - Wrong On Some Counts, but Right On Ambition: [New Times] I'd promised myself that I wouldn't watch Donald Trump's inauguration, but I failed miserably. On Monday, overcome with morbid curiosity and armed with a hot cup of tea, I watched the ceremony as if it were a blockbuster movie. http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/THYjhS #TrumpInauguration #PoliticalOpinion #MorbidCuriosity #InaugurationSpeech #Ambition

Those who disagree with right wing are called "commies" by them. Those who disagree with left wing are called "Nazis" by them.
