So is a flat-earther a round earth skeptic? No, skepticism is "Skepticism is characterized by a questioning mind, a critical assessment of evidence, and a suspension of judgment until sufficient proof is presented." Flat earthers don't know the evidence, much less have the ability to assess it.

A Russian assault trooper gleefully checks out his command’s latest “multifunctional novelty”—a brilliant Russian defense industry creation: a mini—infantry fighting vehicle, ammo transporter, and hearse in one. Likely Kursk Oblast.

Elon Musk promotes right-wing parties all over the world and gives Nazi salutes at rallies. But his political beliefs are hard to pin down.

How can I possibly live in an echo chamber if I have to constantly hear people who never shut the fuck up about echo chambers?
Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if it just creates an echo chamber for the left?
