Election night was not a great night for Laura Helmuth, editor-in-chief of Scientific American. Like many of her fellow Americans, she was dismayed by the final results. She took to social media (always a great idea!) to share her thoughts and feelings. She used some choice language for Trump supporters and within hours her post migrated from Bluesky (a Twitter competitor) over to "X" (formerly Twitter and now just a garbage pile of right wing propaganda). Her post went viral in right-wing media. Laura deleted her posts, resigned from her position, and issued an apology for her lapse of judgement.
This episode considers the shifting landscape of social media, highlighting the migration from Twitter to platforms like Bluesky, as well as the broader question of forgiveness in a politically divided society.
Join the hosts as they navigate through personal anecdotes, the role of social media in modern politics, and the challenging process of reconciling relationships with those holding opposing political views. This episode offers a thought-provoking exploration of accountability, forgiveness, and the power of words in the digital age.
