1. I don't think people fully understand how dysfunctional and dangerous Facebook's political ad policy is

Yes, people know Facebook allows politicians and parties to lie

But it's so much worse

This is important, so I'm going to explain in detail.

NEW with @emmavj@twitter.com: a portrait of weekend working in the UK, told through people & numbers https://www.ft.com/content/085749dc-3cac-11ea-b232-000f4477fbca

Here’s the key chart, on how we spend our time on weekends vs weekdays.

My favourite parts:
• The rush-hour travel spikes
• Weekend brunch
• Sunday League bump

Finally published this on what my team have been doing at @thetimes@twitter.com for the past two years: fixing a ton of backend, and building a new frontend for journalists to construct our homepage.

We call it Edition Builder. Because I can't stand obscure naming.

#PSA

#misinformation means someone is wrong on the internet.

#disinformation means someone is lying on the internet.

Lying is not "hacking."

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Sometimes you need a test case that simply spells out what Facebook is doing to the information environment.

At the height of Australia's bushfire crisis, right-wing Facebook pages were turbocharged on climate-denialism.

This is the game.

Imagine trying to explain democracy to someone who showed up at today’s trial with no knowledge of democracy except for Lincoln’s quote about a “government of the people, by the people, for the people.” What they witnessed might raise a few questions. (Thread)

Short Thread: staying with some friends and last night after everyone went to bed I could not figure out how to turn off the large ceiling light in their living room. There is a wall controller that seemed fairly straightforward.

Yesterday my colleague called me a 'laptop murderer' because I cut my computer in half to make it more portable. Does anyone else do this? Is it just me?

Just published: "‘Fake news’ as infrastructural uncanny" in New Media & Society, co-authored with @bb_liliana@twitter.com & @TommasoVenturin@twitter.com and building on work with the @PublicDataLab@twitter.com. ✨ A thread with some highlights. 👇🏽

A real life @ftdata@twitter.com conversation:

"What does stan mean? I keep hearing it. Is it a Gen Z thing?"

"It’s like stalker/fan, obsessive fan etc. Like the Eminem song Stan."

"Ohhh okay. And apparently it’s also a verb? Who do we stan?"

"Hans Rosling?"

Really cool — using machine learning to colourise old black and white photos. Thread!

1/ This time I just have a single image here. It was taken in 1900 in New York City, and it's of course colorized by my latest and greatest and unreleased DeOldify model. I've done this one before but it's great to test the model on high resolution renders.
