    You know, someday "keep magnets away from computers!" is gonna be regarded as just some weird superstition us old people have, and there'll be articles written being like "did you know that Magnetphobia at one point actually had a basis in fact?"

    Tucker Carlson, already going there: "If history is any guide, and it’s always a guide, we will see many refugees from Afghanistan resettle in our country, and over the next decade, that number may swell to the millions. So first we invade, and then we are invaded."

    The responses to this are pretty much the best illustration of the “do your own research” problem I could ask for. Dozens of people scoffing at this correct debunking citing individual sentences from a document they apparently read but obviously didn’t understand.

    Does the CDC have a plan to put high-risk individuals in camps? No. A fact check from :

    HUGE ruling: Federal judge says Dominion's defamation lawsuits CAN PROCEED against Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani & Mike Lindell. These Trump diehards falsely said Dominion rigged the 2020 election. Dominion wants billions in damages. The Judge is a Trump appointee. (h/t )

    This editorial was idiotic when first published last week. Still is. Why decry a vaccine mandate for getting burgers in NYC when every American has always had numerous vaccine “passports” to get a public education? This is anti-fax drivel of conspiracy whack jobs, not the WSJ.

    The modern progressive speaks the language of high-minded purpose but always ends with coercion. New York’s mayor, Bill de Blasio, will punish you until you get the Covid-19 shot.

    Outrageous: Facebook is shutting down NYU’s independent advertising accountability research, on the pretext that the Federal Trade Commission requires that step. Part of a long-running pattern of obstructing academic research and investigative journalism.

    I’ve had independent confirmation from multiple people that Apple is releasing a client-side tool for CSAM scanning tomorrow. This is a really bad idea.

    There is little more frustrating than having a kid who’s unable to get vaccinated be put at greater risk by adults who simply refuse to get vaccinated. I get that covid is likely endemic now, and for our lifetimes, but so much callous dismissal of the social contract is stunning

    When first reported the story about the sanctions notice, Lin Wood called us a "propaganda rag" and Sidney Powell said they were "over the target." That bluster was cited by Detroit to debunk their claim they didn't have notice. Wood's email to me today.

    Trump raises cash claiming "new "evidence" of "illegal votes." That claim comes from a article. But debunked the basis for that article. My latest article shows how the rightwing transmission belt of grift & disinformation works.

    This dude unknowingly signed a 2-year non-compete when he landed a security guard gig making $11 an hour. Then when he got a new security guard job making $15 an hour, his former employer enforced the non-compete, and he was fired from his new job.

    DoJ did something remarkable when it sought email records of WaPo journos - not from an email provider but from the security firm Proofpoint. Why do this? I discuss reasons👇. DNS records show Proofpoint filtering Post email since 2015, CNN email since '17
