    How Donald Trump Won the 2024 Election _ by John Polonis _ The Political Prism_
    Jan 29 2025
    This article, published in November 2024, analyses how Donald Trump won the 2024 US Presidential Election. The author, John Polonis, argues that the election was not a fluke, as some may claim, but a reflection of a changing America. He outlines how Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate, made several strategic errors, including failing to clearly articulate her vision for the country and alienating key voting demographics, particularly young men. He attributes Trump's success to his ability to tap into Americans' nostalgia for a simpler time and his emphasis on practical issues, such as economic concerns and the need for tax cuts. Polonis concludes that Trump's victory signifies a new era in American politics, one that will be defined by his conservative agenda and the potential for a diminished role of government oversight.

  • AI-Detected Phrases in Writing

    AI-Detected Phrases in Writing
    Jan 29 2025
    This Medium article's comment section centers on a debate about identifying AI-generated content. The author argues that specific phrases, like "furthermore" and "in conclusion," frequently appear in AI-written texts and can signal potential AI use. However, the comments reveal significant pushback, with many professional writers admitting to using these phrases themselves. The core disagreement highlights the limitations of using individual words or phrases to definitively detect AI writing, underscoring the complexity of distinguishing between human and machine-generated content. The overall purpose is to spark a discussion about the challenges and complexities of detecting AI-generated text and its implications for human writers.

  • Bluesky is just methadone Twitter _ by Nick Hilton

    Bluesky is just methadone Twitter _ by Nick Hilton
    Dec 15 2024
    Medium article titled "Bluesky is just methadone Twitter", is a media criticism piece by Nick Hilton. The author argues that while the emergence of Bluesky may seem like a promising alternative to Twitter for journalists, it merely replaces one problematic platform with another. He highlights the dangers of social media platforms becoming central to journalistic success, citing the addiction to short-form engagement, increased exposure to abuse, and the potential for these platforms to prioritise native content over external links, ultimately undermining the independent media. Hilton ultimately suggests that a complete reevaluation of media's reliance on social media is necessary, rather than simply switching from one platform to another.
