Wait do I have it correct that Joyce Carol Oates said Musk was a shell of a man with no joy in his life and he totally saw it and said "No I'm not" and now he's searching the titles of different movies he likes and replying "great movie"

It takes an obscene amount of hubris to lecture the BBC when you have The Telegraph’s record on truth-telling.

Michael Prescott's report makes vital points about the importance of being accurate, and also how difficult that is. For instance, he describes himself as having been Political Editor of the Sunday Times for 10 years, which is not what the Guardian reported when he left the job.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

A national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset.
This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI.
Except... it's bollocks.

@remembrancewatch.bsky.social I thought you'd find this calendar helpful, although I'm not sure Poppy Rage waits until October to start.
We’re going to see more of this ridiculous “they’re cancelling Christmas” narrative.
It’s basically Rage-Bait LAW from the 12th November, just as soon as Poppy Rage is over.
Try not to get sucked in👍🏼
It’s not good for your blood pressure to get so angry about imaginary problems
