"Just as we wouldn't want #BigTobacco sponsoring events at our schools, #BigOil shouldn't be either. There needs to be a ban on #FossilFuels sponsorship & provincial governments need to step up & fund the #ClimateChange education our kids deserve."

@riley yeah...
I guess #TheEconomist has still too much revenue to pay for sponsorships...
- Classic #Bothsideism aka. #FalseBalancing cuz #centrists are that shit!
Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)I just think #TheEconomist is #discrediting itself by #platforming #MAGA #bullshit that even 5th graders can callout as #Kindergarten-esque #mobbing.
It's pretty much absurd to do so without seriously interrogating whether the #Trump regime actually knows the shit it does or whether this is just a #dismantling operation by #AgentKrasnov to enshure #Putin gets what he wants.
- After all, the whole #Ukraine - #Invasion timeline would've been perfect if Trump caused a #CivilWar in 2020 and thus upend any #resolve.
Tho in the meantime it only resulted in the #EU coming closer together and #Europe finding resolve against #Russia, with both #NATO and EU becoming stronger than before...
- Granted the #USA already lost it's credibility in 2012 when Putin invaded #Crimea and the #BudapestMemorandum was violated *#consequences-free* instead of #BootsOnTheGround by the #US, #UK and #France and the current support for #Kyiv is the absolute bare minimum to avoid the political suicide that are *flagged coffins returning home* since in #Europe - unlike the USA - going to war isn't guaranteed to get elected, but rather will tank ratings (as it should be)!
Again: #REFORUSA is an act of self- and mutual defense at this point!

This is my final post on ScienceMastodon; I will be moving to DragonSidedD@mstdn.science
I want to take a moment to thank Dr. Charles Seife @cgseife for his investment of time and funds into this experimental #Mastodon
Far more importantly, thank you Prof. Seife for your decades-long, prescient work in the critical task of improving #science communication, and fighting #disinformation

Note: This report is a few days ago, but a good overview & in play. I just got an alert about something now proceeding, I suppose this week. Bcs there's nothing else more important for "our" Congress.

Because we here in Trumperica can't allow things like #Education or #facts into our daily dose of #disinformation #media. And #journalism is 'fake news'.
PBS? All that 'woke stuff' like Sesame Street, or Mr. Rogers.
"Love they neighbor"? Who would preach that left-wing extremism?

"Recently, several disinformation campaigns linked to US billionaires attacked EU officials on social media platforms, spreading false narratives and encouraging committing crimes (e.g., murdering officials or overthrowing governments in the EU). It has become clear that these platforms operate as extensions of US corporate power and the new US administration, prioritizing profit and political gains over Europe’s stability and safety."

"It is important to understand that US platforms optimize for engagement and their owners interests, not truth. During France’s 2022 presidential race, YouTube’s algorithm disproportionately recommended far-right candidate Éric Zemmour, boosting his visibility despite his marginal polling. Researchers found that 60% of French-language election content on YouTube contained misinformation, much of it algorithmically amplified."

"The number one lesson that Donald Trump took from the pandemic on his watch is that it was bad for him politically. For him, utter ignorance was preferable to public information panic and preparedness. Kennedy is the mad bad tool implementing that lesson now in his powerful position running the nation's health agencies right into the ground."
