How the IG profile gets "nuked" is really a side point. The relevant bit is the completely non-intuitive (and one could assume unnecessary) marriage of the two profiles.

Off the top of my head: I'm with the 97% of scientists who agree it's happening (duh) and that man is probably contributing. There are a LOT of branched distinctions and decisions downstream from that broad statement. It was the f

You left out some very important and undeniably factual points: 1) The climate has been (dramatically) changing since literally the beginning of time on earth 2) Humans have only existed for a vanishingly small fraction of that time

Climate change isn't in dispute. The level of human contribution is heavily disputed, as are a lot of data points and decisions downstream from that. Discussing it as a monolithic, binary thing that you're either on the right side

How does that even work, though? Ultimately, if two people are at odds over something and I'm coming in blind, the one trying to keep me from hearing the other side has already discredited themselves. How is that even debatable, barrin

In 2023, labeling people as "conspiracy theorists" is a much bigger red flag for the (deliberately or not) misinformed than urging someone to "do your own research". In fact, I struggle to see how "do your own res

I'd never heard of it, but definitely going to check it out now. A lot has happened in the ten years since it was created.

It was a temporary glitch/outage like we've seen countless times over the years, but by all means indulge in a moment of schadenfreude.

Ah, yes ... fear-mongering over what the "red" team might do, while pretending the "blue" team haven't been committing this kind of abuse unchecked for years now. Those abuses are ignored, or worse, reported as a

Agreed on that point. I just thought it was a good time to point out that the popular opinion about their relative credibility is outdated. Look at the big stories of the last 6-10 years. How many did Chuck Todd or NPR get totally wrong? An

Fox are corporate, pharma-funded and biased, but looking objectively at the last 6-10 years they've proven more credible than the legacy networks, let alone their cable peers.

Didn't know that. Thank you. Of course, there's the huge complicating factor that the official figures for "covid deaths" conflate "died with" and "died from".

Well, in this case there is sound reasoning for that lack of "trust". You can support Twitters past actions and disagree w/ Musk but does anyone dispute that he bought the platform because he thought their practices were unet

Someone healthy enough to be a firefighter has a near-zero chance of being hospitalized because of Covid.

"I think it is to Live what GarageBand for iOS is to Logic" That's what I was thinking, and I think in both cases this capture/export pipeline for musical ideas is a brilliant use of mobile technology.

Was about to comment that the author is not describing "Yak Shaving", but rather unrelated distractions. But I see they've already been corrected.

While I can relate to the author, I also agree with this. As much as I'd like to remember in the moment that riding my bike or some creative project is fun, and get excited to get up and at it ... I don't. In my better times, disc

A very good point, which is sadly absent from most of the public discussion. Having said that, a case could be made that this (lab leak via market) is a distinction without a difference.

Right and left have been rendered almost meaningless, especially in this context. What is called "left" these days is more, "that which conforms to Democrat narratives" and lately quite illiberal, while pretty much anyth

Who told you that? Have you been paying attention the last 6-10 years? I'm sorry, but the credibility of those networks has completely inverted. That's not my opinion. The vast majority of media-fueled outrages that were blasted b
