Conspiracy theories aren't limited to one political ideology. Anyone, left, right... even experts who study misinformation, can misjudge the legitimacy of a story. (Yep, scientists too 🫣.)

However, there are ways to protect yourself from getting suckered by pseudoscience and fake news. A long-ish 🧵

There's a weird left-QAnon thing starting up centered around dubious claims about the 2024 results popping up at the periphery of the internet. I feel like we're gonna hear more and more about this so just laying down my understanding of it now.

I think its basically a hoax.

Metal signs. One has a figure giving double middle fingers reading “Go Birds”. The sign below has blue ice cubes overlaid by red “no” symbols. It reads “Fuck Ice” The city of Philadelphia is visible in the background.

Bold roses 🌹 defy the looming winter from their seat in the mountains surrounding Heidelberg. Their fire warms an otherwise chilly gray day at the Castle. 🏰 🌬️

@sarahmackattack.bsky.social if you’ve never been to Heidelberg, you should check it out. These graffiti cephalopods are waiting for you to find them in the old student jail (Studentenkarzer) 🦑🐙🤫

Bin of colorful yarn. My finger is held in the foreground for a scale to emphasize the yarn’s thickness.

Part 2: She Did It Again Ryan Lizza Nov 22, 2025 ∙ Paid If you are new to this series, start here. She did it again. It was four years later. Another presidential campaign. Another book project. Another candidate whom she had profiled. Another note—a poem, according to Olivia—though this time from the candidate to her. “Yr open mouth awaiting my harvest,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is now the Secretary of Health and Human Services, had written to my then-fiancé. “Drink from me Love.” He continued, “I mean to squeeze your cheeks to force open your mouth. I’ll hold your nose as you look up at me to encourage you to swallow. ‘Dont spill a drop’. I am a river You are my canyon. I mean to flow through you. I mean to subdue and tame you. My Love.” I can’t say there weren’t any signs. I did find it odd that Olivia was simultaneously reading Robert Greene’s The Art of Seduction and Maureen Callahan’s Ask Not: The Kennedys and the Women They Destroyed. But the poem—let’s call it “American Canyon”—and many others, too explicit to print, changed everything. (Thanks to Bobby, I am now aware of something called felching.)

America, I’ve clearly been away too long…

So Trump likes Mamdani now & is okay with being called a fascist?!? 😵‍💫😵‍💫

Reporter: Are affirming that you think Trump is a fascist?

Mamdani: We’ve spoken about—

Trump: That’s ok, you can just say it.

Trump's Transportation Secretary on how to improve air travel:

"People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly... We want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season, help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

About to start the last session on the last day of #EESNucleus. It’s been such a great event that is hard to see it end, but I’m coming back to lab with a brain filled with fresh ideas!💡🤓

Thanks to all the organizers @events.embl.org & participants that made this meeting possible!! 🥰
