@annaleen Hey, caught your #KQED #Forum appearance via podcast, on weaponised stories.

I'm a fan of historical context and conceptual modeling. There's a bunch of 1960s/70s CIA hearings and investigative reporting on news manipulation (and blowback). There's also Lasswell's communications model: "Who?", "Says What?", "In What Channel?", "To Whom?", and "With What Effect?". (I like to add "with what intent".)

I suspect you're well aware of these, wish they'd made the discussion, and need to check if you cover any of this in your book.

Great session, though and yes I do plan on reading.

COVID Is Rising in Bay Area Wastewater Again - Carly Severn @teacupinthebay “COVID-19 levels are up across 82% of the sites monitored around the Bay Area. WastewaterSCAN’s Amanda Bidwell told KQED by email that this local rise mirrors a current “upward trend” of COVID-19 wastewater levels nationally over the last three weeks.”#KQED #SFBA #COVID19 kqed.org/news/11987343/covid-b

Why Your #Negative #COVIDTest Might Be Less Reliable in 2024 #kqed
kqed.org/news/11972313/negativ
OR hear me out, people are not testing themselves correctly

Had 0 issues getting➕results with test that expired in 1/2023 at very early stages of illness

directions show to shove it up your nose when it should be more back & closer towards perpendicular + 🚫oral sample

variability of sample collecting differs depending on person so of course this happens

KQEDWhy Your Negative COVID Test Might Be Less Reliable in 2024 | KQEDSome experts have noticed that it's taking some people with COVID-19 much longer to get a positive result on an at-home antigen test. So, if you have symptoms but have tested negative, what should you do?
Continued thread

"[A reporter from #KQED news] announced that “housing advocates” in #SanFrancisco were pushing […] the mayor’s housing legislation this week.

The reporter quoted one person from Habitat for Humanity, which […] has never been involved in local housing politics and isn’t a member of the Council of Community #Housing Organizations, which has serious problems with the bill.

Nobody from CCHO, from the Race and Equity in All Planning Coalition or from the Anti-Displacement Coalition made the cut."
