I heard the Taliban are creating safe spaces at their universities by separating students by gender. Really appreciate that.

The paper analyzing 12.7 million tweets shows that people who express outrage on social media get rewarded by people who share their ideology, creating a feedback loop that further amplifies future moral outage. Yikes. science.org/doi/10.1126/…
