So. Gotta say it’s been cool seeing my project themememessage.com go viral on TikTok. Is it weird to post my own videos to Twitter? Unsure. vm.tiktok.com/TTPdYf6gkR/

🚨NEW🚨: My analysis of 2.8 million tweets posted by Congress since 2011 shows the parties increasingly segregating into distinct rhetorical bubbles. In effect, Republicans and Democrats are no longer speaking the same language. Lots to unpack: 🧵 usatoday.com/in-depth/news/…

USA TODAY reviewed thousands of Internet memes ranging from the Jan. 6 hearings to conspiracy theories concerning 5G and Jewish space lasers. Here’s how such memes have played a key role in almost every disinformation campaign of the digital age. usatoday.com/in-depth/news/…

Are memes driving polarization? We looked at thousands used to sow distrust over the FBI's Mar-a-Lago search, Jan. 6, COVID-19 and more. Taraneh Azar has an excellent feature out today on the weaponization of memes, to which I was proud to contribute. usatoday.com/in-depth/news/…

Social media can be an essential tool during major news stories, but inaccurate information can get in the way of facts and be dangerous. Remember to always check the facts before reposting something online #MediaLiteracy #misinformation Taraneh Azar theguardian.com/world/2022/nov…
