Die @zeitonline veröffentlicht diskriminierenden & reißerischen Artikel über @CKemfert
Hauptkritik:
-Vereinfachtes Erklären von Studienergebnissen
-Professionelles Medienauftreten
-Mehr Erfolg als andere Kollegen (Gendern nicht notwendig)

#SolidaritätmitClaudia #Sexismus 1/n
Eine Kritik ist, dass ihre/unsere (da oft Koautor) zu optimistisch die Machbarkeit der Energiewende aufzeigen.
Und das wo uns die letzten Jahre und insb. der Ukrainekrieg aufzeigt, dass wir mit unseren #CoalExit #GasExit Studien recht hatten
2/n

Studien, die bereits vor 10 Jahren gesagt haben, dass
- 100% Erneuerbare technisch möglich und notwendig sind
- fossile Ressourcen & Infrastruktur uns politisch abhängig machen
- fossile Konzerne sich auf Kosten der #Klimakrise und nachfolgender Generationen bereichern

One thing ahead: the title is way too bombastic (“secretly saved”?) and full of platitudes that are irrelevant to the topic (“EU’s poorest country”). But what can you do, we live in the age of #clickbait. Apart from this dubitable editorial choice, it is an informative piece. 2/

Jeg glæder mig til at være @AUforsker i den kommende uge. Tak til @koefoed som driver initiativet og til @kristianvsf for forgangne uges bidrag.
Jeg hedder Lene Kühle og er professor mso i religionssociologi på Afdeling for Religionsvidenskab, Institut for Kultur og Samfund
Min forskning er inden for det religionssociologiske felt, dvs. fokuserer på relationer mellem religion og samfund: Hvordan påvirker religion samfundet, hvordan påvirker samfundet religioner? Min hovedinteresse er hvad der sker, når et samfund rummer flere forskellige religioner
Jeg blev interesseret i dette da jeg skrev mit speciale om folketingsdebatter om religion i perioden 1972-1997. Debatten om religion døde ud efter at have haft en stor rolle indtil ca 1975- men opstod igen fra 1990erne, men nu om islam og ikke kristendommens rolle i samfundet

A short thread on #ClickBait

There is considerable controversy surrounding things #journalists print today. Yes, journalism has always attracted controversy. It should. There is no way around it. This is most true with stories on sensitive subjects.
Think about it. We outrage when such stories are true, and we outrage when such stories are false. We should. We outrage more when misled--even more if baited. Clickbait and misleading titles are the bane of good journalism. I want to focus on this point.
We all know this but it bears repeating. Most journalists don't write titles for their articles. Editors do. Many an article I wrote has a title I would never write. But, I sympathize with editors. They have an impossible job.

Van “mijn” kwaliteitskrant had ik meer doorvragen en checken verwacht.

Nu tasten de @NRC lezers bijvoorbeeld volledig in het donker over wat die “nieuwe catastrofe” dan precies inhoudt, wie daar last van zou krijgen, en wat de gevolgen zouden zijn. 1️⃣
Nu heeft NRC slechts angst over “er net vermeden catastrofe” verspreid. En als je alleen #clickbait wil lezen, moet je bij andere media zijn, niet bij “mijn” kwaliteitskrant, dacht ik altijd.
Mijn hart gaat uit naar deze medewerkers, die grote mentale schade hebben opgelopen. 2️⃣
Door deze verhalen zonder checks weer te geven, beïnvloedt @NRC ook de mentale toestand van haar lezers, op een ongunstige manier.

Dat gaat via zinnetjes als hieronder. Feitelijk juist, maar suggestief: heel eng! 😱😱😱

En er dan niet bij vertellen dat het complex al … 3️⃣

How to ID #clickbait, contrast it to genuine #activism-#MutualAid-info dissemination, and stop funding grifters: a masterclass in three tweets. Thread, [1/3]:
This is clickbait, from one of the biggest grifters in left-wing spamtivism. They pretend they're giving you important information, but what they're really doing is trolling for ad revenue via web traffic/brand ubiquity: [2/3]
And this is how a trustworthy and genuine activist and helper actually gives you important information: "Hey, JH letting you know Mark Cuban has launched a low-cost online pharmacy at costplusdrugs.com! Ex: Abilify retail $660/scrip, C+ $6/scrip!" [3/3]

En la película “No mires arriba” descubren que un cometa va a destruir la Tierra.

¿Es realmente posible que algo así ocurra? Pues sí.

Esto es lo que se hace para medir la peligrosidad de los asteroides que vemos en el cielo y mantener el planeta a salvo 👇🧵
Los NEO (Near-Earth Object) son #cometas o #asteroides que en algún momento durante su trayectoria alrededor del Sol pasan a menos de 1.3 UA de nuestra estrella.

1 UA es la distancia que separa la Tierra del Sol. Por tanto, 1.3 UA nos pilla bastante cerca.
Para hacer una primera evaluación del NEO nos fijamos en dos puntos clave de su órbita.

· Perihelio: punto más cercano al Sol
· Afelio: punto más alejado del Sol

If you're a llama shaver, these are really accurate (and compelling) headlines for your niche. Remember, the objective of a headline is to get clicked in search results. But also keep in mind that some headlines can be #clickbait.
beqbe.com/contextual-lin… Clickbait headlines are meant to bait you into clicking (hence the name) but the content doesn't always measure up to what you were expecting. Sometimes it does though. Here is an example of a clickbait headline:

This mindset fascinates me. When black people critique Hollywood for failing at representation for decades mostly white studios said we should stop begging to get into movies and "make our own". Now that is the go-to response for black people caping for problematic television
Pointing out the consistent erasure of MOC and the one sided diversity of straight and queer couples in high profile #Netflix shows amounts to "begging" for inclusion 🤔 Would he make that same argument about Afro-Latin erasure in #TheHeights ? That criticism was "begging" ?
@YouNetflix is part of a long standing theme in Hollywood where "diversity" means centering straight white men and adding a bevy of poorly developed sexually available WOC around them. It's a problem, it's not new but change only occurs when you point it out. But there's more...

Ten eerste, hoe langer dit draadje, hoe complexer het gaat worden. Dus de eerste getallen zijn eigenlijk bullsh*t. Maar naarmate ik meer aannames doe, denk ik dat de schatting beter is.

We beginnen. Aantal mensen in Nederland: 17,5 miljoen. 3,5 gevaccineerd.
--> 14 miljoen over.
We gaan er vanuit dat er 150.000 op dit moment *besmettelijk* zijn; en het virus kunnen overdragen.

Dus de kans dat iemand besmettelijk is in de groep van 14 miljoen is 1,07%.
