  2. The Quranic Methodology in Combating Rumors: A Comprehensive Study of Psychological Resilience

    These target the honor and integrity of the leaders and their families to destroy trust within the social fabric. The most prominent example is the “Incident of the Slander” (Al-Ifk), which the Quran used as a catalyst to establish strict laws for verification.

  3. It’s always an undesirable position to be among the biggest users of a feature in a system. (can’t find the related @atpfm episode)

    3D Touch was my favorite iPhone feature in ages. And they killed it. Replaced by the mediocre long-press.

    And now I’m all in on the Camera Button introduced with the iPhone 16 line, and rumor has it this one will also be radically diminished.

    Dang. I hope it’ll only be simpler as a component, but not in behavior.

    #WTF — there are #rumors that Tom Hardy (played #Venom and many other great roles) was booted from #Paramount due to his pro #Palestine ✊ stance; apparently Paramount has a blacklist of pro-Palestine #actors.

  5. #Nintendo's plan for Switch 2 in 2026 look like this:

    June - #StarFox (2026)
    July - #SplatoonRaiders
    August - #Metroid (?)
    September - FE: Fortune’s Weave
    October - #TheDuskbloods
    November - #OcarinaOfTime (?)
    December - #LuigisMansion4 (?)

    Those remakes are going to push #Switch2 consoles heavily, and given the price increase for September, Ocarina could cash out hard fanboys.

  7. #Trump #WalterReed #rumors

    "On Saturday, the rumor that Donald Trump had been taken to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for an undisclosed medical issue began to spread online. No outlet reported it. No official confirmed it. But the rumor gained traction because several small, unusual signals appeared in quick succession.

    The first was an unexpectedly early White House lid — a public notice that the president would have no further events for the day. That alone wouldn’t normally raise alarms, but it coincided with a complete absence of the usual weekend indicators: no pool reports, no off‑the‑record sightings, no casual remarks to reporters, no visible activity at all. For a president who is typically seen or heard from in some form on weekends, the silence felt conspicuous. As one user put it, 'This is the quietest Saturday I’ve ever seen from this White House.'

    (. . .)

    That was enough. The rumor didn’t need evidence; it needed only a pattern that felt coherent. And for many observers, the combination of silence, timing, and suggestive chatter provided exactly that.

    (. . .)

    The White House pushed back quickly, stating that Trump had not been hospitalized and was working through the holiday weekend. They pointed to two familiar indicators: a Marine posted outside the West Wing and continued activity on Trump’s social platform. But both signals are symbolic rather than independently verifiable. Staff can publish posts. The Marine sentry is ceremonial, not diagnostic. A controlled schedule can be maintained even if something unexpected is unfolding behind the scenes. The rebuttal relied on optics — and optics can be curated.

    Skepticism doesn’t arise spontaneously; it accumulates over time. Public reporting has documented multiple instances where information about Trump’s health was incomplete, inconsistent, or later contradicted.

    (. . .)

    There is no verified evidence that Trump was taken to Walter Reed on Saturday. But the denial relies on signals that are symbolic rather than independently confirmable, and it arrives in a context shaped by past inconsistencies and longstanding institutional opacity."

    "Trump health rumors explode as White House denies Walter Reed hospital visit

    President Donald Trump's health has become a major focus of his second term, with Americans scrutinizing his public blunders and apparent physical limitations as he canceled Saturday events.

    The White House attempted to dispel speculation that President Donald Trump is receiving treatment at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center as conjecture about his well-being surged online Saturday.

    The Republican president's fitness has been a central concern throughout his second term, as Americans have examined his numerous public missteps, visible physical limitations, and disclosed medical issues."

    "Trump Spokesman Pushes Back as President’s Health Rumours Swirl Online

    Speculation about President Donald Trump’s whereabouts swept across social media after unverified posts claimed he had been spotted at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.

    The rumors, which quickly gained traction online on Saturday, April 4, prompted an official denial from Trump’s spokesman Steven Cheung, who insisted the president had remained at the White House throughout the Easter weekend.

    'On this Easter weekend, he has been working nonstop in the White House and Oval Office,' Cheung wrote on X. He added, 'There has never been a President who has worked harder for the American people than President Trump. God Bless him.'

    (. . .)

    The White House also issued what is known as a 'lid' at 11:08 a.m. on Saturday, a notification to the press pool indicating that the president would not be making any public appearances or holding events for the remainder of the day.

    While lids are not unusual, the timing fueled speculation, with journalist Ed Krassenstein noting that an early lid was atypical for Trump, who often travels to Mar-a-Lago on weekends.

    Krassenstein’s post suggesting Trump might be at Walter Reed had accumulated over one million views within hours.

    Additional unverified claims circulated on Bluesky, where an anonymous user alleged that a major road near Walter Reed had been blocked off and that an emergency meeting was underway at the White House. Neither claim has been independently verified."

  10. There are rumors that Trump has died after being hospitalized at Walter Reed.

    But, so far, White House watchers haven’t seen any signs of orange smoke coming from the rooftop.
