“It was like seeing a bowling ball hit — all the bowling pins and all the pins flying up in the air." Nine people confirmed dead this morning. Police say it was not an act of terrorism. We await more details about the driver and what led to the incident.

Working on my BC Studies presentation & realized that part of my "Why BC?" answer needs an explanation of the Great White Lodge, since that's what Brother XII was trying to build. I spent some brain-cramping time 😵‍💫 making an explanatory chart so listeners don't need to read pages & pages to get it.

Previous reporting on this event really sanitizes just how extreme this group was I watched hours of livestream videos. They kept screaming at Liberal supporters repeatedly calling them "pedophiles" and shouting homophobic and transphobic slurs, along with anti-immigrant and antisemitic rhetoric

The propaganda campaign to reframe studying mis/disinfo as part of some “censorship industrial complex” to suppress the right was phenomenally effective - bc academia treated it as a debate ab facts, not a power game. Stanford botched the war for public opinion, thought status quo would hold.

Really enjoyed this talk on the historic and contemporary connections between conspirituality and right/far-right worldviews. Featuring mentions of pseudoarch, like Atlantis, Lemuria, an unnamed Netflix show, Blavatsky (it's always Blavatsky), Pelley, the Ballards, and so on.

The night of the English-language election debate in Montreal was not Canadian journalism’s finest night. There were heated arguments in the press room, an attempt to crash a CBC broadcast, a line of police officers to ensure journalists could do their jobs and a cancelled post-debate scrum.

It is a language and a plan that speaks to white Christian men (theo bros), the conspiracy theories, and those who feel disenfranchised. If you construct a victim status to the "woke" your politician will "save" you, God, and country.

Missed this statement from Pen Canada last week: ”This decision sets a troubling precedent: that social media outrage can determine editorial direction. In cancelling the segment under pressure, CTV may have handed a victory to those who seek to weaponize online harassment to silence journalists”

The Conservative platform is here, and a Pierre Poileivre government says it would ban trans women from women's federal prisons. There's also that line about broadly "protecting women's spaces in federal institutions and policy" that is worth noting 👀 xtramagazine.com/video/conser...

In an executive order, Trump targeted the Smithsonian and the National Museum of African American History & Culture suggesting that it is “divisive” and pedaling “improper ideology.” So, I took a trip back to the museum, and what I saw was a place trying to tell the unvarnished truth about America.

Interesting. Our team has argued that misinformation isn’t just about bad facts, but faulty frames — and that its solution isn’t better facts, but better frames. This research finds some support for that hypothesis and an approach based on alternative, but positive (rather than corrective) frames.

Prolific residential school denialist Frances Widdowson has a chapter in this, as notorious bioarchaeologist (former partner of Philippe Rushton, current partner of ancient aliens/UFO guy Nick Pope) Elizabeth Weiss. It's a few years old now, but for a bit of insight into Weiss 👇

As I never get tired of telling people, William Cooper’s Behold a Pale Horse contains the entire Protocols of the Elders of Zion and is a direct gateway from UFOs to antisemitism. = mostly booksellers at the Strand who continue to put this book outward facing in their Banned Books displays

This is the same thing that happened with UFOs, Atlantis, and aliens on cable TV in the 2010s. The paranormal conspiracies were the bait and then ufology and fringe archaeology funneled the audience straight into antigovernment conspiracies, white nationalism, and Trumpism.

I've got several markets booked between June and November so I'm spending much of my weekend getting ahead of stocking candles, with the goal of showcasing my Brother XII line at each market so I can chat about archaeology and my research with interested folks 👀

This statement from the NSF is insane. Science is, in essence, designed to separate the true from the false. Understanding how falsehoods spread is key to the scientific endeavor. It is not a violation of free speech to be proven wrong.

Pierre Poilievre admitting in the debate that he's going to suspend the Charter of Rights and Freedoms so he can defend the charter rights of the people he deems to be worthy should terrify everyone. Seeing what's happening in the US with ICE he wants the same thing in Canada

Rebel News, and Humphrey especially, have been pushing residential school denialism and disinformation from the very first announcement. This was another form of Just Asking Questions - Humphrey used a "question" to seize Singh's platform and spread disinfo, and Singh was right to shut that down.

People keep asking why far-right alternative media outlets got to ask so many questions The reason, once again, is because Rebel threatened to go to court and get an injunction. The Debates Commission backed down and agreed to let Rebel have one person from each of its regional "divisions"

For those asking why the post-debate scrums are stacked with far-right alternative media personalities, the answer is they obtained a court order to attend these things

My last thought on this because I need some Offline Time: Because of their fear of being defined as "not neutral" or "biased," the bodies who label "journalists" and adjudicate access are increasingly complicit in the destruction of our information ecosystem. Meet the moment and grow a spine.
