I like the reframing uncertain and ambiguous information as rumors
That allows for fact checking
So many problems in our world are caused by ambiguous information that has been presented as if it's a fact, and people not changing behavior when presented with new information

Here's an article that unpacks what I mean by "evidence-frame" dynamics and shows explains how the right-wing media ecosystem "works" by generating and promoting evidence to fit their strategic political frames: theconversation.com/misinformati...
Misinformation is more than just bad facts: How and why people spread rumors is key to understanding how false information travels and takes root

"The idea that we, on Earth, might lose control of an AGI that then turns on us sounds like science fiction – but is it really so far-fetched considering the exponential growth of AI development?" writes writer and lecturer Alexander Hurst.

Unreal. DOGE posted National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) headcounts.
NRO budgets and headcounts are classified to prevent adversaries from using them to extrapolate our intelligence priorities.

Dear internet… this isn’t a “goofy hand gesture” that these men are doing…
These are powerful hand Mudras.
Please don’t make the mistake of assuming that these men aren’t being intentional with everything they’re saying and doing.
