Social media is no longer social. Most of it is passive viewing of videos and pictures from people we've never met. But we're still studying social media like it's 2010. We've entered the post-social media era — and research needs to catch up. osf.io/preprints/so... preprint w/ Richard Rogers

Awful, awful news.

The best thing about @lrb.co.uk's Politics podcast presented by @piercepenniless.bsky.social (who you should also read) is how much you learn. In discussion with Professor Helen Thompson they cover energy, politics and consumption.

Just been approached by Huel to see if I'll be part of their paid influencer campaign. I don't think they're quite across what I do for a living. (FWIW, and in the interests of having influence, I regard Huel as a soul destroying, miserable product and the death of all that is worth living for.)
