Fake bomb threats are being circulated in Delhi through mails. People should not take jokes too far.

Two hospitals in Delhi received bomb threats though email, days after over several schools in the national capital faced a similar scare.

I know state legislatures are essentially a factory for stupidity like this, and yet I remain surprised when they ramp up production.

Ever wanna make a #hoax on #Facebook just because you can? It would be so easy. Nothing malicious, but like you could definitely convince a lot of people that this Potato Festival and its mascot is real.

Dass Gert Scobel ein vielseitiger Journalist ist, war mir bekannt, aber dass er sich einen Bart anklebt und in den Tagesthemen als Präsident des Thüringer „Verfassungsschutzes“ auftritt, hat mich dann doch überrascht.

Wo ist der echte Stephan J. Kramer?

"Calling ‘Fake’ On The ‘iPhone Computational Photography Glitch In A Bridal Shop’ Viral Photo"

@gruber on why he thinks that "Bridal Shop" photo that went viral yesterday is fake.

Have to say, I was definitely sucked in. Like Mulder, I want to believe.

But also shows how quickly fake info can go viral. @gruber's post reminded me to be more skeptical. 🧐

Right to repair - a new law was finally adopted.

They're talking about the availability of spare parts 10 years after the last model is released.

Too little, too late.

I have appliances which are 20 years old with only minor defects and I can't find spare parts anymore. 20+ years should be a normal period of availability of spare parts IMHO.

For example, my #fridge is 21 years old. I've measured its consumption. It is still on par with current fridges (A+). So there is no need to replace it yet. But the door gasket is all cracked and needs a replacement.
And there is none available.
I think its life could be easily extended to 30 years or more.

5 or 10-year lifetime for kitchen appliances is a #hoax, don't accept it. Demand more.

White House walks back Biden’s claim he saw children beheaded by Hamas
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/12/white-house-walks-back-bidens-claim-he-saw-children-beheaded-by-hamas

"The White House has walked back President Joe Biden’s claim that he saw pictures of beheaded children following Hamas’s deadly attack on Israel.

The reversal came after Biden on Wednesday described seeing images of mutilated children during a meeting with Jewish leaders at the White House.

Biden’s claims were featured on the front pages of Western newspapers, and reports of beheaded babies have been cited in some quarters as justification for revenge attacks and the collective punishment of civilians in Gaza.

The Israeli army has said that it cannot confirm the claims, which were repeated on Wednesday by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s spokesperson Tal Heinrich."

VIDEO:
The claim that 40 babies were maybe beheaded in Israel is already being walked-back by the reporter who made the claim, but here is a real video from Gaza today...

This is so dumb. The #AI based it's rendition of #Jesus on the #ShroudOfTurin—an artifact that has been definitively debunked as a #hoax by science. This is the practical equivalent of using AI to speculate about what Jesus looked like based on those pictures of Cesare Borgia so many #Christians have on their wall. This gets us no closer to understanding what the man, if he actually existed, looked like. Call it "Christian masturbation".

On the anniversary of 9/11, she blasted out #conspiracytheories and #discredited hoaxes, calling the #attacks an "inside job", and promoting a #fake #transcript from United #flight93. When people pointed out that the transcript is a #hoax, she didn't delete her post, or acknowledge her #mistake. Instead, she hid the comments that corrected her. She is the definition of human #garbage.

Barbie Hoax Targets Mattel and Fools Some News Outlets (www.nytimes.com)

The false campaign by environmental activists claimed that the toy giant was launching a new line of decomposable Barbies and would stop using plastic by 2030. Some news outlets, including People, The Washington Times and Dow Jones Newswires, fell for the fake campaign, publishing articles on the new dolls.

I KNEW there was something weird about this story. I knew it! The part that really made me wonder was apparently her family "warned her" about "children being used as bait by kidnappers". That's weirdly specific, don't you think?

Less moderation means more hate.

All claims in the example tweet are wrong.

I was bit surprised to see The Protocols of the Elders of Zion mentioned. Don’t they know it’s a fabricated ?

Those who “do their own research” are clearly incapable of doing any real research.

"Any challenge to [#China's #economic] progress – and to the image of China – is perceived as hostile.

Not too long ago, that included #ClimateChange, which, from about 2009-2011, was often depicted in Chinese books and popular TV shows as a Western #hoax designed to torpedo China’s economic rise."

The messaging has now changed - but #ClimateMisinformation lives on.
