I research and create educational videos about misinformation, propaganda, climate change, and sometimes (unfortunately) AI
Let’s debrief this so called “super El Niño” while I finally get around to making my go-bag
So I think it’s time for a quick refresher on what Candace Owens actually believes
i'm single cuz my cruel, selfish parents encouraged me to get an education and develop a sense of self instead of trying to marry me off at 19. child abuse if you're asking me
Was QAnon right about the pedophilic elite?? (um no we actually already knew that the ultra rich are addicted to power and abuse. that’s common sense i fear.)
NYT opinion section defends enslaving AI should it become conscious. Maybe one day we can talk about real problems too!!! 🤞🏻
It's already so weird that the people obsessed with creating all-purpose AI to be their personal slave are also obsessed with said personal slave being conscious of its enslavement. But explicitly arguing that it'll be conscious but that shouldn't affect how you treat it is actually evil.
Is Taylor Swift selling Nazi merch? No. Is the rise of fascism making us more susceptible to rage bait? Definitely.
Update: the Guardian has added two paragraphs addressing animal agriculture's role in driving soy production. I can't find a note regarding the edit on the article. I like the guardian (and am a subscriber) but that was an interesting choice. The original archived version: archive.ph/kR7GV
ya 98% of all soybean meal is animal feed. that doesn't change the fact that 70-80% of global soy production is for animal feed. here's a visual of brazil's domestic soy production. you can see that the largest flow BY FAR is the soybean to crushing to soymeal to animal feed to human consumption.
Also because I am petty I did the math on how much it would cost to supplement yourself with every active ingredient in Fierce Immunity and it was about 1/4 of the cost. (Or 1/2 the cost if you buy on TikTok Shop) (my editors rightfully didn't think it was relevant so my math can live here)
It's fascinating that this group has implied both that measles is a "bioweapon" and that it's also "just a rash." It's both a violent attack and it is also nothing. The contradictory thinking here is truly impressive.
Trump is deploying the National Guard to DC by using a classic fascist propaganda tactic: attacking homeless people
Welcome back to Fascist Propaganda 101. Today we’re answering the question: Is protesting…. cringe?
It appears that the CDC has removed its guidelines for contraception and STIs. www.cdc.gov/contraceptio...
I’ve gotten several of these requests to use my pictures for piece of artwork. Listen, I love being told that I’m your muse but…. what is this scam? Is this new? I’ve only encountered it in my DMs on Bluesky.
Unsurprisingly, as TikTok goes down tonight Meta is flooding my FYP with ads for Instagram
sure, ya the drones *could* be real but also there’s a decent chance we’re just collectively losing it
It’s pretty standard Mandela Effect stuff but what’s interesting is that I’m seeing it tied into the election- specifically the fact that a lot of people claim to have woken up at 4 am with a sense of dread. The emerging theory seems to be that a timeline jump occurred on election night.
So on TikTok right now the “third Thursday Thanksgiving” Mandela effect is gaining popularity. The idea is that Thanksgiving used to be on the third Thursday of November and because people swear they remember this with certainty, they believe they’ve jumped to a different timeline.
