The results imply some typology of info. bubbles: polarized views vs limited content. Given homophily ( @mwojcieszak ), liberals are likely exposed to more politically diverse but toxic content, while conservatives receive more politically homogeneous and less toxic content. (6/7)

The Cena apology for (accurately) referring to Taiwan as a country, presumably done so as to not hurt the release of Universal's "Fast & Furious 9" in China, is just the latest example of US corporations acceding to the CCP's will. More coming up on @TheLeadCNN

Key finding 1: From our 7 million tweet subset, 16 tweets by health officials with K-Pop generated 234k retweets; the 2,144 without K-Pop generated 282K. In other words, adding K-Pop, especially #BTS increased public health outreach by 111 times. 3/n

@catielila My granddad is sort of deaf so lip reads best in Taiwanese. Uncles still think it’s cute when I try during family gatherings though🙃, but are warming up to it.

It covers our paper on Elitism in Mathematics and Inequality, where we conduct network analysis on 240k mathematicians and the elite community of Fields Medalist, and also use some ML to look at lingo-ethnic identity.

We find nation-level oligarch networks share scale-free structures—though usually robust, knocking out the right intermediaries could significantly restrict access to wealth. Moreover, autocratic countries seem particularly vulnerable (2/5).

@thesickish @emilio__ferrara @RobbWiller Thank you for catching this, I miscaptioned that: As Democrats tweet about Rep. owned issues, audience diversity increases; Republican diversity remains relatively constant. The paper is correct!

"Team expertise diversity steadily increased between 1976 and 1996, [then] remained relatively constant." Really awesome work w/ pragmatic yet innovative use of NLP from @RyanWhalenCT & @ywu2450 . Makes you wonder if there is an optimal point of diversity for team science.

This is related to @wearytolove 's work on the “missing middle.” Rather, what is the middle? Data suggests alt candidates are moderates by partisan id, but *not national*. Why? One reason is that Ko's supporters are younger hence TWN identity; Gou’s older support hence ROC. 5/
