       @gutenberg_org Also worth mentioning that "science" is not a monolith, and other than F = ma there's a lot of stuff that scientists don't actually agree on.

       @gutenberg_org I know the difference between mis and disinformation but it has been said that the orange guy is glad they're not being called lies.  Isn't it time to start calling them what some portion of Americans do understand?  Sorry, sort of off topic except that the "thinking machines" may be touting lies.  Give people critical thinking skills to figure it out (or has that boat sailed).
