Google's messaging around the turning off etc of uBlock Origin and other ad blockers should replace whatever the description is in the OED for "Disingenuous".

@ACREF: We find it quite curious that two of the west's leading conservative voices - Sis. Olukemi Badenoch, the UK Conservative Party Leader and Marco Rubio, the US Secretary of State - are both beneficiaries of #BirthrightCitizenship.
@kim_harding Agreed, lying and fabrication of figures. Have been reading around Bill Adair’s Beyond the Big Lie. Adair, now holding an endowed chair at Duke University, founded [ratings, pants-on-fire] PolitiFact (Florida’s Tampa Bay Times); so my question is, who does Truth Social poster think his audience is? Strategy is to confuse, be first to flood discussion with disinformation. How can negotiations proceed? Or?

By the way, how about Trump’s forgotten and abandoned “buddy”, #JeffreyEpstein. #lies #disingenuous #TruthSocial #grifters
As a #trans #woman, this is why I think #EmiliaPérez is #subpar, #disingenuous, #harmful #nonsense.
Yeah that’s right, you heard me. The #Trans #DrugCartel #musical is a #bad #film for multiple reasons, and how it won so many #GoldenGlobes is beyond me.

Gotta love how Republicans are always complaining about Federal regulations and environmental laws obstructing domestic oil production, and all while the NUMBER ONE PRODUCER of oil products in the world is THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

@talzag sustainable? By increasing demand on cropland for biodiesel? Is there enough foodwaste and CAFO waste to produce this "sustainable" fuel for all those who want to use it? Does this address the particulate and NOx problems?
Or is this just industry propaganda that comforts those who ignore system lifecycle effects, and don't want to look too closely?

"The impact of climate change on the frequency of storms is still unclear, but..."
Does this strike anyone else as #disingenuous if not outright #misinformation? Granted, the collection of scientific evidence regarding storm frequency may be thin, but that's a very esoteric distinction to make that reinforces a dangerous myth. Climate change is REAL.
This isn't an article on the history of science. This is not a peer reviewed scientific article making specific conclusions. It's an informative piece by the #BBC! If they can't craft better sentences with more clarity and intention, then who can? FFS, tell the truth. Don't mince words. It's shit like this that makes the climate crisis more difficult and dire.

@identifont Campos claims “early 19th century fat-face lettering” as influence for Aljaraz. Sadly he fails to mention Ohno Blazeface (2018) and, for the italics, Stilla (1973). Those strike me as more relevant than Caslon Black or Thorowgood Italic. #disingenuous
Using the word "#Folks" suggests a #Familiarity few have actually earned.
What's the connection between Nigel Farage and cash reliant businesses (cafés, bars, hairdressers...) and breadline people? Nothing! But he's trying to find one. #disingenuous #grifter

#DeSantis is now saying that he’s willing to meet with #Disney CEO #BobIger to show him how much money #Disingenuous has made for #Disney by staying open during #Covid
Disney’s Response:
I'm not a Facebook shill; I detest Facebook and always have; I have never had an account. I would be perfectly happy to drop Zuckerberg into whichever of Hawaii's volcanoes is closest to his private estate.
I'm also not defending Google - I don't use their services and don't have an account there, either.
What I'm saying is that this outcome was both #predictable - it doesn't make #financial sense to pay to link - and #predicted. Acting shocked now is #disingenuous.
While I can appreciate Mark Ruffalo's acting and I heartily agree with his sentiment regarding Hollywood studios and the "capital" of Hollywood... there's one thing I have to vehemently disagree with him on... Hollywood actors are NOT "workers", are NOT "labour".
Oh, he and many in Hollywood are "liberals", or at least pretend to be, but that does NOT change their class. They are NOT starving actors in New York or Soho, London.
Word of the day: disingenuous #disingenuous
Venting ahead ⚠️
It's entertaining (/i hate it) that ppl say "unpopular opinion!" when really it's very popular - just very shitty (racist, sexist, #contrarian) & they want permission to express it as legit. #sealioning
Like that fuckin red scare balloon. The Pirate of the Caribbean abusing his gf. I don't need every famous asshole's opinion (or those who fancy themselves journalists or #influencers).
@dynaml True. In my experience that rule has applied not just to #science but any field of #endeavour. My #politics & #principles have always gotten in the way of any career advancement. Never did learn to keep my mouth shut or be #disingenuous. (#diplomatic) 😎
@kinyutaka
This kind of #disingenuous #catastrophizing #bullshit is typical of #reactionary #apologists everywhere. i'm done talking to you.
@d1pl0mat @vometia @grayface_ghost @nathan
So, #Sunak wants to appear as the saviour of the #NHS with his #emergency 'fixes'.
Let's not fall for this #disingenuous crap from the #Tories who have systematically underfunded the health service for their entire squalid existence.
P.S. Don't attempt walking on water #Sunak
