Social media can support or undermine democracy – it comes down to how it’s designed
Social media design influences human behavior, and the Big Tech platforms use it to boost profits – and their owners’ political agendas. Some smaller platforms are using design to support democracy.The Conversation

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again … things would have been far better for America if we would have deported the Trumps instead.

The US now demands that applicants for a student visa set their antisocial media profiles' visibility to "public". This means that *those who wanted to study in the U.S. to flee authoritarian governments abroad will have to make their social media public to those same governments to study here.*

@joel it’s usually a two-person game.
(There’s an adaptation for three and four is also possible.)
It’s actually simple. But. It has a metric tonne of special-case rules. And jargon.
There’s three phases of play.
1. Putting two cards in the dealers’s crib. Requires predicting the future.
2. Alternating play to get to 31. Bewildering scoring opportunities.
3. Counting up points. This uses the starter. Quirky scoring here, too.
The quirks take time to internalize.
