Conspiracy theories aren't limited to one political ideology. Anyone, left, right... even experts who study misinformation, can misjudge the legitimacy of a story. (Yep, scientists too 🫣.)

However, there are ways to protect yourself from getting suckered by pseudoscience and fake news. A long-ish 🧵
There's a weird left-QAnon thing starting up centered around dubious claims about the 2024 results popping up at the periphery of the internet. I feel like we're gonna hear more and more about this so just laying down my understanding of it now.

I think its basically a hoax.

Thanks #Trump & #GOP!

Today @michaelbyrum.bsky.social & I took in some #historysky in Heidelberg. One of the darker parts of which was learning about the Stolpersteine or "Stumbling Stones".

Stolpersteine are a memorial project designed to remember those removed/killed by Nazis in WWII. You can see an example here:

An anti-abortion protester has shot someone outside of a South Carolina Planned Parenthood.

My source says one person was injured and taken to the hospital—and that the protester was arrested.

More soon.

This was the first Star Trek movie I watched as a child & I remember the whale story line hitting me hard. 🥲

So glad they’re on the comeback! 🐋❤️
Another species no longer on the global Endangered list:
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae).

A few decades after a Star Trek movie where the central conflict was the total extinction of the humpback, their numbers are rising fast enough to put them at "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List.
