not saying you’re wrong, but we have to get in the habit of sourcing our claims! whistleblowers testified to Congress about this memo that began circulating around mid-2025.

Some people also need to get in the habit of researching a claim by themselves.

Pretty sure doing your own research turns you into a conspiracy theorist; so I don’t think we’re supposed to do that anymore.

Haha that's a good one. Maybe just do a "@grok is that true?".

No it doesn't. Conspiracy theorists don't actually do research. If they did, that might risk invalidating their theory.

At least some conspiracy theorists do selective research.

Selective research is an oxymoron.

The word for it is cherry-picking and it is better classified as a fallacy.
