"Iran doesn't have nukes. Israel does.
Iran is a signatory to the NPT. Israel isn't.
Israel has allowed IAEA inspectors into its country. Israel doesn't."
But Israel is the victim? My video for Zeteo on how the media's coverage of this crisis is abysmal & ridiculously biased.

Underreported: Elon just picked the head of NASA—a massive conflict-of-interest that will damage a government entity that he partners with, depends on, and in some cases competes with. The nominated NASA director is a high-school dropout billionaire who is pals with Musk. He has no business at NASA.

Everyone needs to be aware of this kind of bot.
Many of us believe we have a duty to respond gently to polite argumentation. Especially in advocacy.
Nope.
If someone sealions, check their timeline to see if this is a pattern. Then report & block, as @rahaeli.bsky.social describes. 🧵(1/6)

So about ten years ago I found a small network of bots on Reddit dedicated to spreading hate. The thing about it is that these weren't even responding to political topics - they were just responding to random keywords with insults and hate.
The same bots are now here. You should understand why. 🧵

this is kind of a niche issue but: if you are getting weird and hostile responses that feel a little off, there are some folks on here making accounts that automatically reply to large quantities of posts in a vaguely hostile manner. you can ignore them, and also, it's not personal

In the Age of Misinformation, let's remember these headlines after the Titanic sank.
During wireless chatter, someone asked: "Are the Titanic passengers safe?” An answer came: "The ship is being towed to Halifax and everyone is ok." That 2nd transmission didnt refer to the Titanic, hence the error.
