TL;DR: If a reporter talks to a bunch of witnesses and believes them, that’s usually not actual malice—even if they’re wrong. If a “journalist” invents or wildly overstates a “94% accurate” scientific analysis, that’s how you get to defamation when it turns out to be false.

Someone’s funding these Nazis- but who?

I'm always flummoxed when mainstream news sources describe a lawsuit, indictment, or pertinent document without actually linking to it. The SPLC indictment isn't linked in New York Times, AP, BBC, The Guardian, or any of first 10 sources I checked. Just have to take their word

House GOP leadership's new stab at FISA 702. On 1st scan: 3 yr extension. Adds ODNI review of FBI queries for US person info; criminalizes bad ones; limits approval to FBI lawyers (not supervisors). Seems like a tough sell to Freedom Caucus types. docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/…

I used to shoplift a LOT and convinced myself that was a good and righteous thing to do but then I turned 15

1/ Almost all the feminist hot takes you see online are just women using feminist theory to create rage-bait for clicks. This woman made content about how marriage is slavery and not wanting kids - now she's says she's getting married and that it's ok to do that if you want kids

Guys, that very, very long post about donating $340 a year to SPLC is good writing but it's not real. Click over and see his other posts. Do this with anything you share. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Ebola killed 54% of people in the trial Ebola virus Not remdesivir Endless nonsense from your Health Secretary RFK Jr

Having lived with my eyes open before, during, and after 2008, there is simply no such thing as "the post-2008 social settlement". The defining feature of post-2008 life is the complete absence of such a settlement. No one ever agreed to anything

The United States has burned through so many munitions during the Iran War, to include well over 1,000 BGM-109 Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles (TLAM) as well as 1,500 to 2,000 critical air-defense missiles utilized by both the Army and Navy, that some administration officials

this is a Peter Warren story he can write a story about foreign potato-chip flavors using nothing but a press release about foreign potato-chip flavors he misspelled "Barbecue" don't read it
