#factual — Public Fediverse posts

My mother read the #tarot cards to see how my annual #performancereview with my #CISO supervisor will go today. (welcome in my real world)

She, or rather the cards, say that everything is great and the meeting will be a complete success, and that with hard work I will achieve all my goals.

🤔 Should I open the meeting with my boss by telling him this highly #factual results so we could both safe time as an icebreaker?

It won’t be long now before #democratic countries will be sending in #news via #radio into the #UScoup.

It’ll run along the lines of WW2’s #RadioLondres with #factual #news plus coded messages to the #resistance, such as:

"Before we begin, please listen to some “personal messages” to our friends in occupied #America:

#Trump has tiny hands.
#Teslas are dangerous.
#PresidentMusk is insane.
#Putin is behind this all.

Now to the news…”

The Apple TV Vietnam War Documentary Series

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Last night I watched the first episode of a documentary series on the Vietnam war, made by Apple TV. It's eighteen hours of documentaries covering different aspects of the conflict.

In the first episode they speak about boots on the ground and tunnel rats. Through the exploration of this topic we see some footage of traps being prepared and some footage from within the underground tunnels.

In the footage we see an operating theatre in an undergorund room. I have watched just one episode so far but I hope that it offers visual context to what I have read about in various books on the Vietnam war over the years.

So far I like the editing and the style of this documentary. It's well paced. No sensationalism, no excessive use of music. It allows you to watch the footage, and hear first hand accounts from US and VietCong. It provides a more global view of the conflict.

Working on such a project would be interesting, to watch hundreds or thousands of hours of footage, and to talk with first hand witnesses, to provide their own experiences of what they saw and witnessed. It's important to interview these people and document their perspective and points of view, for future generations.

And Finally, more often than not I see a documentary with an interesting title and topic and I give up within minutes because the commentary is breathless, the editing is sensationalist, and in general it feels as if it was editied for people with no attention span. It's refreshing to find a documentary that is providing facts, and letting the first hand accounts, and archive footage do the talking.

Supreme Court sides with Biden administration in dispute over Oklahoma abortion referrals

The Supreme Court on Tuesday
💥rejected an abortion-related appeal from Oklahoma,

ruling the Biden administration could ⭐️ cut off funding for family planning programs that do NOT offer pregnant patients
“#factual #information” on all of their options, including abortion.

In a one-line order, the justices turned down Oklahoma’s appeal over dissents by Justices Clarence #Thomas, Samuel A. #Alito Jr. and Neil M. #Gorsuch.

The state’s attorneys argued that Oklahoma opposed all abortions and should not be required to refer women for abortions.

In defense of the long-standing federal guidelines, the Biden administration said
these programs are required to do 🔸nothing more than give patients
“the telephone number of a third-party hotline” that can provide information on prenatal care, adoptions or abortion.

After Florida restricts Black history, churches step up to teach it because Black history is American history. (Plus it’s #factual, part of #reality, and the church has always taught it.) #education

@sozialwelten

Hi, SocialWorlds. Your post ended in my “Home” timeline probably because of the #information(en) hashtag, and even if I don’t speak German it looked interesting so I “had” to translate it and respond. Hope you don’t mind :-)

#Distinction of #undecidable #questions in #known and #unknown #conditions of their #relevance.
#hypothetical / #factual
#Factually meant as a #question for #data as not yet known #information
#known / #unknown
In the case of #functional systems such as #economy, #religion, #art and #politics, only #facts are missing. How they are to be #understood is #clear.
In the case of #meaning and #ecology, #decisive #factors are #unclear.

In my opinion #data=#facts. You can’t argue about facts the same way you can’t really argue about the “hard data” (numbers, graphs) in front of you.

What you can argue about is the interpretation of that data, or the different private #information every one of us will extract from the same set of data (facts) in front of us. What information is derived from the data depends on the different #knowledge(s) each one of us has about the world.
