My kids are better in two days, and I suffer for two weeks. npub1kf0p3gzxltlk6v298addhsqyy6y0z5q97uewtu3rn8dekypk497q6ekv43 Renee DiResta š§µ I wrote ab the āis Signal secure?ā manufactroversy on X. The Guardian wanted an explainer on why Elon & Jack were āconcernedā about Signal. The answer, though, has nothing to do w/Signalās product. It was part of an extended fight over whether woke NPR should be defunded & the CEO fired. Why? Because the CEO of NPR is on the board of Signal; by the Transitive Property of Bad People, Signal is thus compromised. npub1kf0p3gzxltlk6v298addhsqyy6y0z5q97uewtu3rn8dekypk497q6ekv43 Renee DiResta Breathtaking insight from Elonās old pet propagandist npub1kf0p3gzxltlk6v298addhsqyy6y0z5q97uewtu3rn8dekypk497q6ekv43 Renee DiResta š¦ This One Weird Trick will help you grow a massive following on Facebook, sell products that donāt exist, and drive traffic to your weird machine-generated content farmā¦ npub1kf0p3gzxltlk6v298addhsqyy6y0z5q97uewtu3rn8dekypk497q6ekv43 Renee DiResta The CyberTipline is the main line of defense for children who are exploited on the internet. Tips -filed by tech companies and others who encounter exploitation content - lead to the rescue of children and the arrest of abusers. Yet after 26 years many believe the entire system is not living up to its potential, and generative AI threatens to make it ever harder to triage reports as investigators must determine whether a child is real. npub1kf0p3gzxltlk6v298addhsqyy6y0z5q97uewtu3rn8dekypk497q6ekv43 Renee DiResta Testing123 on Ivory now npub1kf0p3gzxltlk6v298addhsqyy6y0z5q97uewtu3rn8dekypk497q6ekv43 Renee DiResta Behemoth the Kitten update for #caturday : 14lb, one week shy of 9 months old, and his āsmokeā coat is starting to show. He still play-bites, which hurts at this size, so we are working on that. (Itās my first kitten, I hear they eventually outgrow it?) Loves toys. npub1kf0p3gzxltlk6v298addhsqyy6y0z5q97uewtu3rn8dekypk497q6ekv43 Renee DiResta This morning, some of our work was quoted in WaPo coverage of how attributed foreign influence operations, identified by Meta and addressed by the major platforms, continue largely undisturbed on X. Many are spammy; some are more refined. Either way, the fact that no one there seems to be investigating even industry-peer-attributed networks is pretty bad. We will put out an analysis with more details shortly, but for now: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/02/16/x-meta-china-disinformation/ npub1kf0p3gzxltlk6v298addhsqyy6y0z5q97uewtu3rn8dekypk497q6ekv43 Renee DiResta Great coverage of @npub17pwā¦k3ps and his very important fight npub1kf0p3gzxltlk6v298addhsqyy6y0z5q97uewtu3rn8dekypk497q6ekv43 Renee DiResta #caturday the 7mo kitten has hit 10lb npub1kf0p3gzxltlk6v298addhsqyy6y0z5q97uewtu3rn8dekypk497q6ekv43 Renee DiResta The best part about making a turkey - did one for New Yearsā Day - is having a carcass for stockā¦especially if you glaze it with something like a honey or apricot jam + Sririacha and then the stock picks up those flavors. npub1kf0p3gzxltlk6v298addhsqyy6y0z5q97uewtu3rn8dekypk497q6ekv43 Renee DiResta Child safety work that the SIO team put out, including about some pretty bad stuff that was happening on Instagram.

The game has changed. The opponents donāt care about facts, only optics. Communications teams must start to understand what theyāre actually engaging with. npub1kf0p3gzxltlk6v298addhsqyy6y0z5q97uewtu3rn8dekypk497q6ekv43 Renee DiResta I just turned in my book manuscript! npub1kf0p3gzxltlk6v298addhsqyy6y0z5q97uewtu3rn8dekypk497q6ekv43 Renee DiResta Is there a handy tool free tool where you drop in a URL and it generates a Chicago style citation? npub1kf0p3gzxltlk6v298addhsqyy6y0z5q97uewtu3rn8dekypk497q6ekv43 Renee DiResta @npub1utrā¦r8wt yes :) npub1kf0p3gzxltlk6v298addhsqyy6y0z5q97uewtu3rn8dekypk497q6ekv43 Renee DiResta Meet Behemoth (ŠŠµŠ³ŠµŠ¼Š¾Ń). npub1kf0p3gzxltlk6v298addhsqyy6y0z5q97uewtu3rn8dekypk497q6ekv43 Renee DiResta The opening post of an important new coverage theme on Just Security.

People donāt just have strange or quirky ideas on confined subjects. They have entire worldviews rooted in a comprehensive network of misunderstandings and false beliefs. npub1kf0p3gzxltlk6v298addhsqyy6y0z5q97uewtu3rn8dekypk497q6ekv43 Renee DiResta @npub1wsxā¦vl8m @npub1e35ā¦tjl6 +1 on those two.

People who really understand the complete divergence in narrative reality and have been thinking about solutions for bridging.

Heās trying to decide between band and orchestra, and between trumpet and bass. What instruments are actually good for kids to pick up, with an easy enough learning curve that they donāt feel discouraged?
