Meet DebunkBot: an AI chat bot that provides factual explanations and counter-evidence for these conspiratorial events. It's strength appears to be that the LLM is inexhaustible and will argue indefinitely. They found that the targeted dialogues resulted in a relatively durable 20% decrease in the misinformed beliefs, which is better than similar dialogues with humans.

Today is a good day to check that you're still registered to vote.

Although you may have registered in the past, several states have engaged in the practice of 'purging' their voter rolls of registered voters for various reasons, often erroneously removing legitimate, qualified voters.

Check your state's system to make sure your registration is up to date and your name and address are correct.

Weird how the government trusts parents to make decisions about their clearly violent and dangerous child. Decisions that killed 2 other children and two teachers.

But the parent of a transgender child can't choose to allow their child puberty blockers to save their life...

Nobody ever committed a mass murder with a puberty blocker.
