@npub1lzz…jhl3 What I mean is, very concretely, doing a 'fact check' using a Trump denial as the 'fact' to check against. I've seen at least three such 'fact checks' by different outlets. It is obviously co-ordinated.

@npub1csc…8pjk Same here. It makes my toes curl upwards to see all those outlets carefully write around the word 'murder'.
Even if it is true that he suffered a 'natural' health crisis of some kind, it is clear that the conditions of his detention are to blame. And any non-independent autopsy report may serve only as as a source of toilet paper.

2024-02-16 13:49:14

@npub1xj8…egqe It was actually known at the time to those with the right taste in news feeds that this was happening. Still, an incredible story that will be told over and over again.

@npub17pw…k3ps @npub1l7h…c2mg Yes, well written. A bit regrettable though that one matter fell to the cutting-room floor: the hockey-stick graph stands not only because the original article went through peer review, but also because in the mean time, there is a multitude of hockey sticks from later studies by many different people based on much larger and better distributed data sets.

Ironic though that in addition to being found judicially in the right, now after all these years just looking around us - you know, having our eyes open, like in 'woke' - shows how right you and colleagues were all the time. Sad and infuriating that so much time was lost.

@npub1cmg…rzd2 Perhaps the fediverse self-selects users for whom ethical issues are very important, sometimes to the exclusion of chill, humour and live-and-let-live. That may also select for the left, as the left tends to be more about right, and the right more about might (generalizing, I know).

@npub1cmg…rzd2 But if you run your own server, you're basically exposed to the vacuum of space. You see everything unmoderated. And still you experience this as a healthy environment. Hmm. I, on a well moderated instance, take note.
