"What do people's perceptions of the 2023 economy look like without a Ukraine War shock" and "What do people's perceptions of the 2026 economy look like without the Trump Tariff/Iran War shock" are interesting counterfactuals to mull over

"Even if X’s influence on the mass public is limited, because so many mainstream institutions and figures have remained on the platform, it can skew their perceptions of what is popular, just, or wise, and by extension their decision making."
This is why it sucks that lawmakers still use it.

Near-total ownership of social media platforms backfired on Republicans in the midterms, convincing them they were building a thousand year Trumpenreich by being the biggest assholes imaginable (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

I genuinely believe this btw— to the extent Abdul is viewed as like extensively more left wing than Talarico it is mainly because of racialized perceptions.

... there's a lot to untangle about art, marketing, PR, audience expectations, and gatekeeper perceptions that I have no time for right now.

Once again, non disclosure looks like deception because everyone knows that perceptions will shift. I’m not hung up on coding uses, but this looks like they got caught and are scrambling. Unfortunate.

Change my mind:
Many photographers lack 🏀🏀 to admit what they like, and therefore don’t photograph/publish it.
They are afraid of what others will think about them and end up prisoners of their own minds.
Work becomes inauthentic, and a mirror of what they think others want to see.

Could it be that the platforms with algorithmic monopolies have skewed perceptions and the open social site with less manipulated social engagement are more accurate to real life???

basically: our perceptions are shaped so much by negative emotions more than positive; negative has disproportionate weight. while this is meaningless for fandom matters, it is far more consequential for, say, thinking about our perceptions of global events and political figures.

Excellent thread. I find this resonates with my perceptions of the current situation in New Zealand.
The reason the disintegration of assessment seems so cataclysmic in higher ed is because its norms and outputs were already being used as a smokescreen to cover up far more meaningful and damaging institutional collapses.

because Glonzo won't die now, this bill kills Glonzo when Dems are in office. It won't do anything at all to near-term perceptions of affordability. That's *exactly* why you do it now. Were you not here for the IRA??!?!

I realize this sounds glib, and it is, but also this is what's going on with a lot of this site- y'all are clearly traumatized, which is no sin, and then letting that totally warp your perceptions of reality, which isn't a *sin* but does cause problems for you.
No, actually, I don't think that us breaking Daddy's ribcage and crippling his good hand means he's just going to be *really* mad and *really* give it to us now. They're on the back foot and I refuse to let trauma stop me from recognizing it and pushing tempo. Neither should you.

There’s an argument to be made that (perceptions of) national economic performance matter but Grossmann exactly is right that we’re continuing to see little to no relationship between individual or local economic performance and voting
Despite voters listing costs & the economy as top concerns, some factors point against interpreting as an economic fundamentals election:
1) economic factors aren't strongly related to midterm outcomes
2) objective economic statistics are mixed & not predictive of a wipeout

Not wanting to pursue investigations on blatant corruption for fear of perceptions of retribution, is violating your oath to protect the Constitution. You ran for the office. It’s your most important job.
