  1. "Just like the near-assassination in Butler, PA, this incident was not 'staged' but it was distorted, amplified, and mythologized into an alternate history of the event."

  2. "Science is 'explicitly designed to counter human self-deception,' psychologist Steven Pinker told Chris Mooney in his book 'The Republican War on Science.'

    When deception is your modus operandi, you will naturally try to squash, discount, and demonize the truth. Being anti-science helps protect established special interests. Think climate change denialism and fossil fuel companies."

    ~ Dan Rather

  3. "That’s how democracies die—not only when the strongman grabs power, but when people can no longer tell whether the fire is real because the arsonist has spent ten years insisting smoke has a liberal bias.

    It’s the part corporate media still refuses to confront."

  4. "And once you understand that, you get the real danger: it’s not just corruption, it’s epistemological terrorism. He doesn’t merely want power—he wants to destroy a shared understanding of what power is accountable to.

    Trump’s greatest achievement as a would-be dictator hasn’t been January 6 or the pardons or the grift. It’s been convincing millions of people that objective truth itself is multiple choice."

  5. "For all his failures, he’s achieved the ultimate dictator’s goal: he has murdered reality itself. Because once truth is dead, everything else is negotiable. Facts can be vibes. Evidence is just new branding. ...

    Trump’s own biographer has said Trump 'creates his own reality,' bending truth to fit whatever protects him in the moment."

  6. "There were multiple reports after the event that people were able to walk into the hotel without showing identification or a room key. Tickets to the event at which Trump appeared were printed on paper, and there were no codes on the tickets that would have proved whether they were genuine. There was tighter security for the Taylor Swift 'Eras' tour."

  7. "Reports have revealed that the Trump administration did not put the Hilton Hotel on the maximum level of security for the White House Correspondents Dinner. The accused assassin was staying in a room on the hotel’s 10th floor and was able to check carrying luggage that contained the weapons he used on Saturday night."

  8. "Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Tiktok are all awash with accusations that the shooting was staged as a pretext for Trump to gin up support for his ballroom....

    Trump has been on a decade-long mission to obliterate the very concept of truth. And he did it."

  9. #Iran #war as a full-blown #posttruth battle:

    ’ [Gwenda Blair] said: “He has zero interest in their history; they have zero interest in his fame.

    “It’s an interesting parallel because Iran has been constructing the reality that it wants its citizens to embrace. Donald #Trump has been constructing the reality he wants his citizens to embrace. So it’s reality constructor regime versus reality constructor regime. A battle of the titans.” ’

  11. Ukraine update: life in the "post-truth" age demonstrated by third-hand reports of medial outlets, which contrast wildly with the truth observed on the ground.

    Hard to report the truth of war when you never leave the hotel lobby.

  14. Theological thinking disguised as economics

    In the traditional media and our social reflection of this - “Belief in markets”, is theological thinking disguised as economics. The market is a god, and economists its priesthood. Modern economic discourse treats “the Market” as: omniscient (“the market knows best”), omnipotent (“there is no alternative”), morally authoritative (“price signals reveal truth”), beyond democratic challenge (“don’t interfere, or you’ll anger it”) It should be easy to understand this […]

  16. @chrisstoecker Es ist sehr schwer geworden die Rückkehr zur #FossilWirtschaft überhaupt mit sinnvollen Wörtern zu umschreiben, geschweige denn inhaltlich nachzuvollziehen.
    Es scheint so, als ob die Menschheit ernsthaft untergehen will. Lebenserhaltungstriebe sind wegen Angst vor der Zukunft und Veränderung vollkommen außer Kraft gesetzt? Oder der Populismus, den solche Investoren, wie #KKR finanzieren, ist einfach zu stark geworden in einem unsäglichen Mix aus #PostTruth und #AIslop.

  17. "Not just a world where many of our neighbors are living in a different 'information' reality, but one in which it may become impossible to sift truth from propaganda.

    This is by design."

  18. "Musk controls the algorithms at X, Zuckerberg does the same on Facebook, Silicon Valley is investing heavily in AI—which offers its own version of 'truth' while slowly strangling the information ecosystem. We are—or will very soon be—in a post-truth world."
