Inquisitive, kind, dog-loving, amateur thespian who just retired after a 41 year career in the realm of math/physics/software engineering. I'm a freethinker where logic and evidence, not dogma, is the foundation of what I accept as true.

It's day 13 of the shutdown. What's Trump doing?
Negotiating a budget deal? No.
Preventing premiums from doubling? No.
Stopping 15 million Americans from losing health care? No.
He's meeting the Pres. of Argentina to reward him with a $20 billion bailout.

Still not ethnic cleansing, Trumpers?
President Trump said he told King Abdullah II of Jordan that he would like Jordan and Egypt to take in more Palestinians to “clean out” the Gaza Strip. His suggestion raised new questions about U.S. policy toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and two of its key allies in the Middle East.

Good analysis of why fact checking on social media matters in a world where false claims are sticky + go viral so fast.
But no mention of how X + Meta have altered their algorithms to suppress expert accounts & factual info.
Fact checking on those platforms isn’t a level field. It’s a steep cliff.
