Jos olet ihmetellyt Yhdysvaltojen menettäneen järkensä, et ole yksin. Se on kuitenkin seuraus ongelmasta, josta kärsitään täälläkin ja voi hyvin olla se joka kaataa demokratiamme: hallitsematon informaation ekosysteemi.

A new study by Reijo Savolainen analysed over 1,000 public @Quora posts discussing propaganda in the context of the #RussoUkrainianWar:

Nearly 80% of evaluations were critical. While Russian state sources and pro-Russian commentators faced deep distrust, outlets like @BBCNews, @CNN and @guardian still earned relatively high trust. Even in a #posttruth era, critical thinking isn’t dead.

I love when admins use #AI to obtain configuration settings for a system type A and happily deploy it even if the documentation says differently and the AI results could easily be verified as fitting a system type B. #posttruth

#ki ist wie #donaldtrump. Nur weil er ab und zu was richtiges sagt, sollte man kein Wort für bare Münze nehmen. Von seinen Anhängern wird aber nichts anderes erwartet. KI passt hervorragend in das #postTruth Schema dieser Zeit. Wahrheit spielt praktisch keine Rolle mehr, man hat sich daran zu gewöhnen.

Royal Mail Tracked 48 - the item was dispatched 6 days ago. Still not arrived. I know. First world problems. I'm being grumpy.

Posttruthmedia. Rick Bell is one of the deplorble disinformation demons.

The NDP win 2/2 byelections in Edmonton and two days later the deplorable Posttruthmedia says they are falling apart...

We can't bankrupt this fascist yankee propaganda rag soon enough.

well. welcome to a #posttruth world. from here on nothing will make any sense anymore, whatsoever. some saw it coming by a long shot, they told you to vote for #harris.

You can be an Albertan if:
you believe the vote tabulators are stealing elections.

Newspapers let the fox in and now they dead... Canada too. Even after FB banned news orgs on their platform here in Canada those news orgs STILL used it slavishly.

Like some weird media-version of Stockholm Syndrome.

Stupid me, I believed science was about evidence and reason, but it's just populism. I stand corrected.

Today Saturday, June 14 at 19:00 I’ll give a talk at @hkw_berlin – Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin, focused on my last book Tactical Publishing, Using Senses, Software, and Archives in the Twenty-First Century, published by @themitpress.
I’ll then be in a dialogue moderated by MISS READ festival director Michalis Pichler (thanks for the invitation!).
