Over the past few days, thousands of Threads users have amplified baseless claims of hacked voting machines as Democrats become more comfortable embracing denialism.

I wrote about how Threads became ground zero for election hacking conspiracies and how Metas decision to restrict journalists and news content has exacerbated the problem. https://www.usermag.co/p/metas-threads-overrun-with-liberal-election-fraud-conspiracies

have a fun new review of Randall Patnode’s important book about time and broadcasting (and now streaming) out on 'JRAM:' https://www.tandfonline.com/eprint/U7EH9ZGFVDDWTVIVZ6MJ/full?target=10.1080/19376529.2024.2414124

hi! if you notice errors/typos in the FM Transmitter booklet, can you do us a favor and send a picture/screenshot (including page number) with the error indicated in some way to mediaarchaeology+radioops@colorado.edu?

@akstuhl thank you! It was a fun project
