One of the characters on the cable TV show 'FoxNews', Jesse Watters, claims that the USA owns The Moon.
@mediabiasfactcheck rating: Blatant Lie
Snopes rating: False
Nobody owns Earth's moon. In case you have had a moment of undue credulity. It happens.

FACT CHECK: Sotto not ousted as Senate president
the @rtlnieuws article reports that one of the complexities is that Venlo is a very busy station. LOL
That was my first reaction. If you have been in Venlo, I doubt that you ever thought that it was very busy.
Fortunately, @wikipedia helps out:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_stations_in_the_Netherlands
Beter even this page (fair, a lot can change in 10 years): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_busiest_railway_stations_in_the_Netherlands
In that list of busiest train stations, Venlo is not even in the Top 100!

Here’s a fact-checker & #GPT co-host presenting AI-narrated cautions about #FakeNews / #hoaxes
From “Real Stories”- a stream of fact-checks & responses to #headlines, my longtime interest (#media & its influence using #words).
Their YouTube channel is "The Daily NOT - the show about what did *not* happen".
Fun for #Factcheck lovers and for the focus on #AI & #Media in terms of #truth vs #disinformation
Is this reliable? It's pinging my mental alarms off the charts and I don't know why. https://www.bpsgos.org/article/S2667-1743(25)00170-3/fulltext
The article passes a skim read, so the website name could be what's got me. Idk.
Is there a "hey, anyone got experience or more context please?" Tag on here?

Try this instead:
Use intuition to ask questions, not make choices. If something feels off, check the data.
Make high stakes decisions with debate, not silence. Force people to argue against options to spot what you're missing.
Good decisions aren't about trusting instincts. They're about refusing to trust them blindly.

What actually helps:
Aerobics boost brain power by getting blood moving. Aim for 30 minutes.
Sleep deeply. Your brain clears out waste only when you’re asleep. That’s non-negotiable.
Make fewer decisions. Keep small choices like what to eat on autopilot to save mental fuel.
The fix isn’t biohacking secret zones. It’s working with the brain you’ve got.

FACT CHECK: PH not reverting to 4-year high school system, K to 12 still in effect
FACT CHECK: No Supreme Court-led raid, drug-related arrests in Malacañang
I fact-checked a claim I heard on The Ezra Klein Show about gig nurses, credit scores, and wage discrimination.
I tested it two ways, using approaches from Mike Caulfield:
• SIFT
• AI critical-thinking (and doing)
Key reminders:
Use simple setups, not perfect ones. Focus on what each scenario means for action.
Don't wait for complete data. Use just 3 reliable sources, like analyst reports and government updates.
This gives you faster team alignment and clear next steps in 90 minutes, without getting stuck in endless analysis.

Try this instead:
First, repeat their position clearly: You think X because Y?
Ask questions that dig deeper: Why is this solution nonnegotiable for you?
Keep your body language neutral—no nodding when you disagree.

#factcheck “ CLAIM: “Just over one year ago, we were a ‘DEAD’ country. Now, we are the ‘HOTTEST” country anywhere in the world!’ ’’
THE FACTS: A standard statement from Trump. But the U.S. economy was hardly “dead’’ when Trump returned to office last year. the last year of the Biden presidency, American GDP grew 2.8%, adjusted for inflation, faster than any wealthy country in the world except Spain. It also expanded at a healthy rate from 2021 through 2023. “ https://apnews.com/article/trump-economy-inflation-tariffs-gdp-fact-check-fc415e879519f14ea5219f00a97994f4

Pick two free AI tools tonight. Ask both: “Write two lines of iambic pentameter about a broken smart fridge.” Compare what you get. You’ll see one nails the rhythm but messes up tech terms. The other might write nonsense.
AI isn’t one-size-fits-all. Test tools for your specific work. Pick the right one and you’ll save time.

Why women in Allied countries wore red lipstick to protest Hitler during WWII
Historical evidence shows the Nazi ideal of femininity was clean faces.

Why women in Allied countries ...
@europeanspodcast OMG THOSE FACTS!
#factcheck on the claim park-rangers wear shorts ;-)
Park-rangers versus shorts; in large parts of Europe the changing climate is increasing the number of disease infected ticks.
In many European countries the standard outfit for professional park-ranger type people is now long pants as it significantly lowers the number of ticks you have to remove at the end of the day. It's so sad :-(
Not a problem in winter, thus I'm wearing shorts right now 🙂
