The #DiedSuddenly crowd is (deliberately) using bad methodology and flat-out incorrect claims to gain clout for their anti-vaccine stance.

Perfect example. Make up a story the masses will like. Ignore that there's numerous other billionaire philanthropists trying to fix or remake this world to their goodwill specifications, which is a more complex problem. Instead create a trend out of three persons which feeds populist anger (eyeballs):

I transcend partisanship not through brilliance but by caring more about being intellectually honest in my work than in who wins. This does make me ineffective at securing partisan victories, which I don't care about, but effective at producing trustworthy journalism. https://t.co/YS55wrQw8j

Increasingly one sees a piece of evidence adduced against someone by their inquisitors is that they 1.) said something that is true or 2.) denied something that is untrue.

The linguist sees attempts by a group to tribalize and segregate further with a magic language, i.e., basically performance art using code words, rather actually honestly communicate with all others in order to progress:

I'm in this. It's part of the conversation we need to be having about the difference between progress and performance. https://t.co/n7w9smY1HJ

Today, @knightfdn is announcing a new call for proposals for research that can inform near-term interventions that mitigate the impacts of disinformation and targeted online manipulation of communities of color. https://t.co/6oazU1kjVv
— JOHN SANDS (@iohnsands) July 21, 2021

This is a critical issue. It's not new, but over the last year, online disinformation targeting communities of color has grown increasingly visible and insidious, with undeniable and dangerous ramifications for individuals, local communities, and our democracy at large.

We’re inviting researchers and scholars from across the U.S. to submit their best ideas for projects up to $175,000 by Sept. 15. The opportunity is open to a wide range of organizations, including research institutions, think tanks, community nonprofits, and news organizations.

We especially welcome and encourage submissions from #HBCU partners; educational institutions that serve Hispanics, Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders; news media organizations; and early career scholars.

Knight supports a growing network of independent researchers and scholars who are informing the national conversation on #tech and #democracy, and who are working to ensure our society is equipped to make evidence-based policy decisions. https://t.co/8RFlvXSuJU
— JOHN SANDS (@iohnsands) July 21, 2021

There’s still important work to be done, and we’re renewing our commitment to elevate new voices and the most promising approaches. We encourage you to send us your ideas and to share this opportunity with your network.

Post-modernism: narratives compete

Each side has a story they want you to believe. So they take the audio, pictures, and video from the shooting, slice them up, and edit them into clips, soundbites, and images. Then they reassemble those edited bits of media in a way that tells the story they want you to hear. pic.twitter.com/CzHT89Bz21
