There has been a LOT of research on misinformation over the last decade. In a new paper (for Annual Review of Psychology), @dgrand.bsky.social and I attempt to distill the key points of consensus, highlight major disagreements, and point to future directions. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Great to see ABC news doing this - that's Rebel News panicking because if everyone does it they no longer have a business model @news.abc.net.au

This is a great read @mdmarques.com I definitely want to believe Canada is developing genetically modified raccoon fighters to attack their neighbours.

I've started as the ABC’s national AI tech reporter, after 5 unreal years at Crikey. AI is one of the biggest stories of our time. The sheer amount of money, influence and hype makes it ripe for critical, nuanced and accessible reporting. Got a story about Aussies and AI? email: [email protected]

Despite the ongoing efforts of big chunks of the media to sane-wash ON, part of Poorline's victory rant last night was about "stopping Sharia Law."

Looks like the Greens' result in Farrer will be their lowest in any Reps seat since either 2.21% in Flynn 2013 or 1.97% in Flynn 2007. This without a Labor candidate - not good!

Australian households will have to cut spending and pay more on their mortgages because an emotionally stunted, validation-obsessed man-child 15,000 kilometres away wants to look tough. theshovel.com.au/2026/05/06/i...

Fact-checking what happened at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Just bananas.

Nuclear vibe-coding. Is this a thing?

Trump: I’m not happy with Australia. Australia:

Australian political "debate" is so profoundly stupid. Australia is recognised around the world as a country that didn't cave to Trump and stood against him. In Australia the discourse is "Albo is so far up Trump's arse he can see Orban's feet" or "Albo hates America!". /n

Is it just me or is BRS turning into Jeff Kennett?

Absolutely hilarious. #AFL #AFLBluesPies

The US blockade right now.

Feeling unknown and you're all alone Flesh and bone by the telephone Lift up the receiver, I'll make you a believer

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

This is so well done. 👌

Australian spy plane operators in Middle East not sharing intel with US for offensive operations, defence boss says

How many times will we have to keep quoting the direct words of the Trump-Vance team’s mediator? It is insane the low regard these people hold us in

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

Happy to share this new paper out in JARMAC today, led by the indefatigable @emilyspearing.bsky.social : Reducing the Belief-Boosting Impact of Misleading Graphs With Inoculation doi.org/10.1037/mac0...

Narrator: The United States is also a sick country with demented leaders, and has 40% of the world's nuclear weapons.

I don't know how anyone else feels about this, but to me, sharing a screenshot of chatbot output to make a point of some kind is an excellent way to undermine any credibility that might otherwise be granted to you in the context of whatever you're trying to say.

🤣🤣

you, a naive fool: i do believe there are some things the nytimes won’t both sides the nytimes:

Surely I’m not the only one who thinks this whenever they see a map of The Strait Of Hormuz on the news?

I was going to say that Albo's address could have been an email, but honestly it could have been a text.

the australian tradition of calling your best mate a cunt and your worst enemy mate has no american equivalent and this explains a lot of the miscommunication

BREAKING: Labor is halving the fuel excise which will reduce the cost of petrol and diesel by 26.3c per litre. The Albanese Government will halve the fuel excise for three months from April and cut the Heavy Vehicle Road User Charge to zero to help with the cost of living.

I want to give a big shout out to researchers at @latrobe.edu.au who are working hard on #longcovid. But they still need a few more people for this study!! Please, please, get in touch using the details on this flyer.

Being huge on Sky Noos isn't really life, many such cases.

“Vice President JD Vance thinks aliens are visiting earth and that they are Demons” is the most “I wish Carl Sagan were alive” moment I’ve had in a while.

Some free communication advice: this argument doesn't work when mortgages are plural.

Dramatically complaining of drama is quite the headline.

Do I have any academics on my feed who would be interested in contributing a chapter to a hypothetical book on AI slop? #academicsky

What I'm discovering during this war is that it's pointless to be a strategy expert if the main belligerent is not using strategy

New study: No evidence that COVID-19 vaccines increase the risk of sudden cardiac death in young healthy adults. journals.plos.org/plosmedicine...

ABC News: "We understand Pauline Hanson has been speaking at the One Nation event. Let's bring you some of that now." Pauline Hanson: [incomprehensible swamp monster noises] Yeah, sounds about right to be honest... #AusPol #SAParli #SAVotes

🚨 I have a new article in @theconversation.com with Jordan McSwiney on One Nation’s policy positions theconversation.com/what-does-on...

South Australian One Nation candidate Aoi Baxter has a warrant for his arrest in the UK after he failed to show up to court to face a charge of sexually touching a woman without consent.

If the conflict in Iran escalates into a nuclear war, the Democrats who pushed for the release of the Epstein files will have blood on their hands.

This comes as Australia surpasses the milestone of 51 per cent renewable electricity in the National Electricity Market for the first time. Renewables are the cheapest form of energy.
