It’s always wild to me that “facts don’t care about your feelings!!!” to those types means like “you’re not allowed to get upset if your boss harasses you” and not “there should be some proof beyond anecdata that the phenomenon we whinge about 24/7 exists”

I'm getting tired of this President using his platform to verbally abuse and demean people in our country just because he can.
Hey dickhead, try doing your job better instead of focusing on all the 1980s put-downs.

So we're basically wiping out 250 years of science, education, and progress for a man-baby in a diaper who is the living embodiment of the Dunning Kruger effect.
Yay.

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.

I'll go further and say we need "It is irresponsible to repeatedly believe people who are obviously full of shit" to apply to voters as well. The "flood the zone with shit" people aren't winning with any specific bit of misinfo, but create a *permission structure* for believing it

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?
But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.
But that's just me

It's not normal for a professor to start a class discussing how they "regret" being best buddies with a child sex trafficker and asking them for advice on how to abuse their position to coerce sex from former students.
He shouldn't be there at all. This is an institutional failure.

Thread. “AI is patching up the holes in conspiracy theories and so making them seem more reasonable, making them easier to spread and more resilient to collapse” was not on my bingo card.

Bellingcat’s contact email has always been a magnet for people with fairly unusual views; paranoid delusions, sprawling conspiracies, the works. But recently, the pattern has shifted, we’re seeing more and more emails clearly written with ChatGPT.
