It's truly not hard to not post unverified information that comes from unverified sources. It's so, so easy to get an unverified claim from an unverified source sent to you by someone whose youtube channel is loaded with outrage bait and go "Hm, this doesn't seem credible. I won't signal boost it."

The account owner of @sarahkendzior.bsky.social was suspended for 72 hours for expressing a desire to shoot the author of an article. The post, made 11/10, stated: "I want to shoot the author of this article just to watch him die." 1/2

For any unfamiliar with the quality of journalism at Teen Vogue, it's well known for hard-hitting stories on "politically sensitive" topics including climate.
Then there's CBS: the only major network to increase climate coverage in the last few years. They just axed nearly their whole climate team.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Renewables were 92% of new power added in 2024. Low carbon sources now accounts for 41% of worldwide electricity.
Though, I can’t help but look at this graph and think about how much better it would look if we weren’t retiring nuclear plants so much faster than we’re building them.
