Thinking about this now in the context of the various kinds of disinformation in the U.S. at the moment. The overall message of the discussion (assuming I’m summarizing it correctly) is that what we believe is less about rationally weighing evidence and more about how we identify and who we trust.
ICYMI: I sat down with political scientist @samuel-bagg.bsky.social to discuss the crisis in our information environment and its roots in social identity.
The cure for misinformation is not more information or smarter news consumers
Political scientist Samuel Bagg explains why social identity is at the root of the misinformation crisis -- which calls for something deeper than factchecking.

the line in here about various essential bits of software just fully not working because they require internet access in a country cutting itself off is fascinating and frustrating. give this a read
Iran has killed all connections to the outside. But in the early morning the regular internet works briefly. In that time, @hackimi.bsky.social sent me a letter about what it's like being a developer without the internet as the government tries to squash everyone:

A Game Developer Without Internet
Iran has been without internet for 9 days. Arash sent a letter as a developer without the internet, in the few moments when the great firewall faltered.

Police do this all the time with training. Unfortunately Breonna Taylor isn't here to talk about that. Because they murdered her.

You cant change or train policing because policing has always been the enforcement at the root. You cant vote this out because look at who gets put in as a puppet or is complacent about wanting to look good

Cause brother it aint “passed” for generations. Its just gotten worse and will continue to do so until whiteness finally stands up takes itself out of the equation. Our president isnt the cause. Hes just the best most concentrated representation of rot at the moment.

It's fascinating how much the right has monopolized the narrative of people getting "canceled." There are actually plenty of high-profile creatives that the alt-right has driven off of projects and IPs.
The thing is, they don't disappear bc they have actual talent.
