Several studies have now established that Joe Rogan's podcast show is the leading source of false information about science and health care issues on social media today.

ok late to this but it’s so messed up that men can be known, documented, public abusers and still get feted in this exact manner but famous women have to go into hibernation every 4-6 years otherwise one day everyone wakes up and is like you know what i can’t stand? this bitch’s face.

This is a constant thing in progressive leaning people.

“Well, workers shouldn’t BE tipped; they should make a living wage!”

“People shouldn’t be driving in cities.”

“Nobody should be shopping at or selling on Amazon.”

We don’t live in that world yet. Take steps to get there. Do what YOU can.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.

If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

And if this isn't enough to convince you that Substack should be avoided at all costs, @angryblacklady.bsky.social is incredibly capable of sharing her list of reasons that will hopefully knock some sense into you.

Many disabled folks rely on powered devices to keep them alive. The extreme heat of summer often causes power outages, which kills disabled people.

This is a downstream devastation of climate change - and why climate justice is so important.

It’s the marginalized who will suffer the most.

I will not buy your AI book,
I will not give its text a look

I will not share your AI art,
I will not share even a part

I will not play your AI game
I will not play it, feel some shame!

Use your soul and heart and head
And make us things to love, instead

Three years ago I got involved in a week long twitter spat with Katherine after pointing out that she had misattributed lines from a Budweiser beer commercial to Winston Churchill.

Wouldn't have been the end of days if it hadn't been written on the walls of her school.

Not a renowned fact checker.

We’ve leapt over a lot of red lines in the last week. But one I find most worrying is Trump/MAGA/ICE have ceased even pretending to claim some criminal pretext for cracking down on protected speech. It’s just straight up “if you criticize us, you’re getting throttled/arrested/disappeared.”

Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024

Reporter: How did the Israelis treat you, we saw them giving sandwiches?
Greta Thunberg: They probably have posted lots of PR stunts, they did an illegal act by kidnapping us in international waters but that’s not the real story here. The real story is the genocide in Gaza and systematic starvation.
Reporter: Are you worried about the others?
Greta: Yes…I’m calling for everyone who can to mobilize to demand their immediate release and, of course, to demand not only humanitarian aid being let into Gaza but also a ceasefire and most importantly an end to the occupation, an end to the systemic oppression and violence that Palestinians are facing on an everyday basis.
Reporter: “Why do you think so many countries and governments around the world are just ignoring what’s happening in Gaza?”
Greta Thunberg: “Because of racism.”

This is how.

Greta Thunberg spits fire and gives you the only media training you may ever need.

I think a lot about how Aaron Swartz committed suicide while facing a probably long jail sentence for download some of JSTOR, but no one at Meta is going to face any repercussions for using all of Libgen to train its AI.

The BBC is still promoting Israel's lies - 20 months into the genocide.

Coverage of the aid massacres is another depraved case study in the biggest scandal of Western journalism of our time.

UK military aid, arms, intelligence and decisions by government ministers have enabled Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

That’s why I’m proud to co-sponsor @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social’s bill for a full, independent public inquiry, like the one for the Iraq War. Truth matters. So does accountability.

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost

J.K. Rowling uses 'Harry Potter' wealth to fund anti-transgender organization This is where "Harry Potter" profits are going.

Do not give this woman a dime of your money.
1. Do not watch the new show.
2. Do not stream any of the movies (yes, that includes Fantastic Beasts)
3. Do not buy any of her books. She has a pen name Robert Galbraith.

World leaders can make as many statements as they like opposing Israel's actions in Gaza.

Until they end the sale of weapons to Israel, they remain complicit in the mass murder of Palestinians.

Stop arming genocide, now.

The Prime Minister’s half u-turn on winter fuel payments still doesn’t cut it.

Just raising the threshold still leaves many pensioners in avoidable poverty.

The government must reverse the cuts *in full* and restore universal payments.

It’s not complicated.
