Same study. It's all in the telling.
In 4 weeks Trump has transformed Iran from a country where people poured into the streets to overthrow the regime into a country where people poured into the streets to stop America. Great work.

Publiquei hoje, no Outras Palavras, um artigo que traça paralelos entre monopólios históricos e as big techs, que transformaram a liberdade de expressão em mercadoria.

Big techs: A era do monopólio total | Outras Palavras

Pela primeira vez na história, um conglomerado detém estrutura que fornece poder quase ilimitado. Usa a “liberdade de expressão” como escudo. Remédios clássicos, aplicados aos setores de petróleo, tabaco e farmacêutico, são insuficientes. Qual a saída possível?

Outras Palavras
"…while Facebook is now almost completely irrelevant to the political discourse, that isn’t quite true for Twitter.
But what does that remaining traffic consist of? I recently came across a bubble chart depicting the Twitter accounts that had received the most “engagement” in February 2026. It was depressing: most of the top accounts were extremely low-quality and highly partisan. I hadn’t even heard of many of them and only follow a handful of the top accounts."

Social media is turning into a freak show

The ecosystem is incredibly unhealthy, especially on Twitter. But if it dies, good riddance.

I feel like I did in February and March 2020, only this time, it's about the war in Iran rather than a novel virus. Big things are coming, and too few care to acknowledge or believe it.

In February and March 2020, I was one of a few people warning what the “novel coronavirus” was about to do. People wouldn't (or couldn't) listen because no one could conceive of businesses closing, conferences canceled, or hospitals bursting.

Salve pessoal! Desde o Núcleo de Desenvolvimento da Criatividade da Unicamp @nudecri estamos impulsionando um projeto de adoção de redes descentralizadas dos veículos de divulgação de ciência, pesquisadores, pesquisadoras e jornalistas do núcleo.
Já temos a revista Comciência @comciencia, o podcast Oxigênio @oxigenio, e o blog de divulgação do projeto, Elo Jornalismo @EloJornalismo.

Se puderem começar a seguir essas contas e compartilhar o conteúdo divulgado até hoje, seria de grande ajuda para o projeto como um tudo.

Desde já agradecido pelo apoio que puderem dar  

Abs,

The International Congress of Mathematicians (#ICM) decided not to meet in #Russia in 2022, for a list of reasons including Russa's "war of aggression in #Ukraine and the potential dangers…in regards to freedom of political expression and the safety of #LGBTQ participants." Now some ICM members have launched a petition asking it not to meet in the US in 2026, for a list of reasons including US aggression in #Gaza, #Greenland, #Iran, and #Venezuela, and "serious concern that academics (or anyone) traveling to the US may be denied entry."

Who's gonna tell him?

Please: If you are not a US citizen, do not continue to reside in the US & do not vacation in the US.

The MN Spy Club is incredibly pro-immigrant. We have been deeply involved in anti-ICE/CBP work in the Twin Cities.

But this regime is fascist. For your safety, please do not come to the US. And for God's sake, please boycott American products. MAGA will collapse when they feel the economic pain that the international community can exert on the US. #FuckMAGA
