How I feel after reading today’s headlines.
The Face of War (The Visage of War; in Spanish La Cara de la Guerra) is an oil painting by the Spanish surrealist Salvador Dalí, from 1940.

I'll admit my initial scanning of this headline had me going "Donald Duck is part of the debates now?"

@Susan_Larson_TN@mastodon.onlineHow dare #Tories try to #distance themselves from #SuellaBraverman’s #antiLGBTQ+ #agenda now
The Former #homesecretary and #TERF propelled herself back into the #headlines this week after once again #raving #madly about #Pride #flags, #trans #youth's #healthcare and other things that she appears to know nothing about.
She is a “#cackhanded” #outlier who “#misjudged” how viable #open #hostility to #minorities might be in a future #Tory #leadership #campaign.

Today's example of "What a difference a headline makes"
Story comes out yesterday in local NC news with this headline & actual motivation is buried in the 2nd paragraph.
"NC Senate votes to ban people from wearing masks in public for health reasons"
https://www.wral.com/amp/21433199/
The AP released the story with a more accurate headline. Which one do you think most North Carolinians read or heard?
"North Carolina bill to curb mask-wearing in protests could make it illegal for medical reasons too"
https://apnews.com/article/north-carolina-covid-masks-gaza-protest-b0c6ea89a5d08a8d2f2b21e793e8a6d7
My more accurate headline would be "Fascism rising in NC"
Do we still have anyone following @redstateinsurgents?

@BenjaminHCCarr@hachyderm.ioNegativity drives online #news consumption
Dataset comprises ~105,000 different variations of stories from Upworthy.com with ∼5.7M clicks across more than 370M impressions. Although positive words were slightly more prevalent than negative words, we found negative words in news #headlines increased consumption rates (positive words decreased consumption rates). For headline of average length, each additional negative word increased click-through rate by 2.3%.

NatureNegativity drives online news consumption - Nature Human BehaviourExamining real-world data that tested different headlines for the same news story on real news readers, Robertson et al. find that people are more likely to click on a headline when it contains negative words compared to positive words.
Hard hitting Washington Post headline today, LOL.

#headlines we won’t see.
Headline writing is an art, and it's hard.
But still. We know there were vast networks of trade and relationship between Indigenous people throughout the West. "People" didn't think California was an island. White people did. And using "people" to mean "white people" is a mistake we shouldn't be making in 2024.
