This guy posted about hashtag trends too, and then deleted them and pinned this thread --

 

I don't know what Hoaxy is, but that sounds like a name not to trust.

 

hahah it's an information-tracking tool for academics

Hoaxy® visualizes the spread of claims and related fact-checking online. A claim may be a fake news article, hoax, rumor, conspiracy theory, satire, or even an accurate report. Anyone can use Hoaxy® to explore how claims spread across social media. You can select any matching fact-checking articles to observe how those spread as well.

 

Thanks for clarifying. I figured that's probably what it was; I just wanted to make the joke.

 

At first I thought it was a euphemism for a word he didn't want to be censored

 

i have a medicine that is 890 a month. I need it to keep my calcium under control to keep my kidney safe. With GoodRx it’s $34.

why is this country so stupid?

 

the world's great satan

 

Germany aims to get 100% of energy from renewable sources by 2035

This should be our response too, but we will undoubtably use the Russian invasion to produce more fossil fuels.

 

Good for them, except for the poor previous decision to shut down nuclear plants. Like it says in the article, meanwhile they're going to expand use of coal to respond to a lack of Russian gas. Not great.

 

Echo Moscow was great in the early days of learning Russian because they often had transcripts of their interviews so I could listen along while working on listening comprehension

mega bummer

 

The decision to shut down nuclear plants is dumb, but I'm not seeing where it says this about coal in the article. Only reference I see is:

All it says is that they are still planning to phase them out by 2030. Am I missing something?

 

The fuck else you got to do, Marco?

 

parental freedom! Parents should be making the decisions about their kids!

oh but also…

 

i still dont understand why health insurance does not cover prescriptions? healthcare in this country is basically extortion if you think about it imo

 

I'm watching video interviews for coding interns and I wish I could talk to some of these kids. I'm embarrassed for them. They are trying to explain coding work that is completely wrong and I just want to say "just stop honey..."

 

I think it depends on the insurance, too? When I was on BCBS, I used one insurance card for everything. Now that I'm on United Healthcare, I have a separate CVS prescription card
