I have spoken. I gave @ginoseast five pies in my very scientific survey/boondoggle for @people. (God, those were the days.)
Take that @mathewi

And then there is this, my welcome to San Francisco for Uno's and Chicago pizza. They used to hang this in every Uno's across the country. Those, too, were the days.
Here is my full report for People, thank goodness without the embarrassing picture of me in a red-striped pizza chef's outfit.

And so note well, @mathewi, it's not all bread. That is myth, disinformation from the north. Chicago pizza is more of everything: more cheese, more sauce, more pepperoni, more cholesterol, more heartburn, more pleasure.
I just squandered a half-hour finding my pizza bona fides. It's your fault, @mathewi.

Now here's Niall Ferguson on TV making excused for Donald Trump and the pandemic.
As an antidote to the moral panic of Niall Ferguson & Morning Joe about disinformation and social media, please read this paper by @duncanjwatts, @DavMicRot & @markusmobius: "Fake news is a tiny proportion of Americans' information diets."

N.B., @JoeNBC, that @BrendanNyhan said *elite* messages are where danger lurks: not your average Facebook post but lies from politicians and that other cable "news" channel that exploit group identity. 1/
What can we do? I'm working on a post arguing that we in media need to provide other paths for belonging: e.g., demonstrating to parents that they share concerns and needs as the start of conversation and journalism, rather than setting groups against each other. 2/
I'm grateful that @BrendanNyhan dismissed glib claims--hmm, wonder where--that Section #230 is the problem. The question is, how can we use Facebook + media to foster constructive paths of belonging and community.

Legal Twitter is enjoying the nuances of the Oversight Board decision while information, political, and tech Twitter are viewing it through other sides of the prism, looking more at the impact, I think.
Many are enjoying the bind the Oversight Board put Facebook in. Meanwhile, that bind will be exploited by Trump et al over the next six months, doing more damage to the net as self-appointed net watchdogs from both right and left imagine new torture for #230, etc.
So *neither* Facebook nor the Oversight Board made a strong statement about the unacceptability of not only inciting insurrection but also promulgating the Big Lie against democratic elections. Both failed to keep their eyes on the highest priorities.

The decision in a nutshell, throwing the ball back over the net to Facebook. I disagree with the board that Facebook's decision was not proportionate. In fact, Facebook's decision was long overdue and appropriate.
oversightboard.com/decision/FB-69…
The Oversight Board "insisting" that Facebook review its own decision is kinda cute: the Board telling Facebook to do what the Board itself didn't have the guts to do.
The board says: " It is not permissible for Facebook to keep a user off the platform for an undefined period, with no criteria for when or whether the account will be restored." No. There are cardinal sins that merit hell, forever.

I've been delinquent in recommending some wonderful new books I've read (and listened to) lately.... 1/
I'm a big fan of @RussellShorto's history. "Smalltime" is a history of his own family's secrets: connections to a small-town mob. It's wonderful to follow his research process and the impact on his relationships. 2/amazon.com/Smalltime-Stor…
I greatly admired @philippesands' "East West Street". "The Ratline" is a sequel of sorts about children of Nazis trying to understand their stories. Both books are meticulously researched and so engagingly told. 3/

This would teach that rather than throwing content at these people, we should offer community. See how often it talks about joining extremist groups for "belonging." Obviously, it's not that simple; racism is deep. Still, there's a lesson here for media. washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/04…
But a problem with this communitarian view is that it assumes racists are made rather than gathered: convenient to blame the net. But all this talk about belonging could instead be racists saying they found a group that encourages the beliefs they already have. Blame nurture then
Still, there is a discussion to be had about whether creating spaces where people can find productive commonality -- not as a singular mass but in a diversity of communities -- would be fruitful. This is why I want to bring anthro and soc to journalism school.
