However that begs the question what are the verifiable sources? If you take scientific research as such, that can easily be falsified. Also scientists and academics can be bought just like politicians.
They really can’t be. I mean, yes, you can buy off individual scientists and have them claim that tobacco doesn’t hurt you or that climate change doesn’t exist or that covid isn’t a problem. But the scientific community will reliably rip those claims apart. Look to the scientific consensus, look at peer review process and so on. Those are all verifiable sources indeed. Science has over centuries developed a process to separate nonsense claims from those that can be supported by factual evidence, and that system is working pretty well.
The problem is that those people on the internet and often the media and quite often also politicians do not know how to or want to look at the actual stance of the scientific community because they profit off using those (often bought, sometimes just ill-advised) outside opinions because it causes controversy and confusion, or because it supports their own pre-established opinion.
Let’s not be one of those people. Let’s not be the people who claim that all claims are equally verifiable or un-verifiable, that there is no difference between nonsense and factually supported views.

This is a favourite pointless rumour of mine. I don’t know how Ms Michele addressed it as this was just a picture but just reading something would kind of end the argument fairly quickly.
I hate the guy but I did find amusement in the dual accusation that G.W. Bush both couldn’t read and also was too reliant on the teleprompter.

That was the great thing about the marvel handbooks – somebody actually thought these things through and then drew them (I can’t remember who was credited, but I would guess Gruenwald’s idea). There was one for Hawkeye’s quiver, and detail for Iron Man’s armour, etc.

I am half and half on that, given what his original Ultron idea was…
I kind of wish we could see Gallifrey monitor the timeline, but that is for the Dr. Who section…
