  • However, the fact-checking website Snopes said the image showed protests in Los Angeles following the death of George Floyd in May 2020.

    The governor’s office wrote on X on Friday: “HUGE DEVELOPMENT: An official Department of Defense account is spreading fake images—from old protests—to justify Trump’s illegal militarization of Los Angeles. This isn’t just disinformation. It’s a propaganda campaign from the Pentagon.”

    This is the next paragraph, I think the “however” refers to the posting, not newsoms reaction to it. Ultimately, old pictures are real and their use is deceitful. Calling them fake is adequate in my book, but not entirely accurate.







  • It was combative because the OC called the recipient unworthy and you replied that it was because they didn’t understand things that most people who can read at a third grade level do.

    That’s messed up, and I was intending to point out that that’s the implication of your comment so you could rephrase it if it was unintended.

    Some people don’t seek to understand, but this person’s asking multiple questions to figure out what this means, and then wants to talk verbally because they’re not getting it via text. I don’t see a reason to suspect they’re not looking to understand.





  • I also don’t use TikTok and I’m exactly the wrong age to know anything about teenagers/young adults, but it’s my understanding that its base outside of the US means that it isn’t (as) subject to American social-political pressure. Therefore people were exposed to more pro-Palestinian content through TikTok than instagram/facebook, youtube, or reddit, and TikTok’s relative popularity with gen z contributed to the popularity of BDS across college campuses in the US.

    I don’t know if that’s been substantiated by much actual research though.








  • You know what, I always respond to her when she meows and if I can’t see her/she’s not at the door, I’ll go and find her, and she does the exact same thing! She’ll chirp at it if she can see me or knows I’m in bed and come find me if not when I call her name. 🥹
