When the pandemic began, data shows women lost almost twice as many jobs or hours as men. As the economy began to pick back up, men recovered those jobs at a higher rate than women. The disparity is even higher for marginalized women, such as racialized women or women of colour.

We were invited to write a commentary on the recent paper by Amir Ghasemian, Homa Hosseinmardi, Aram Galstyan, Edo Airoldi and @aaronclauset.bsky.social on model stacking for link prediction in complex networks. This is the result dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

Let me emphasize 3 findings of this new working paper arxiv.org/abs/2011.12843 (with a bunch of co-authors in quoted tweet) (1) News is still a relatively small part of YouTube, but YouTube is huge, news is growing, and right-wing news in particular is growing very fast.

Interesting piece and worth a read. Simple answers are always tempting, but in the world of media consumption, they often don’t tell the whole story.

Really important advance in systemically gathered evidence of social media platforms exacerbating & creating disinfo echo chambers Congrats to Homa & team
