Listening to Brian Dunning talking to Ross Blocher on 'Oh No Ross And Carrie' and I'm not convinced Ancient Aliens would lose it's audience if people had science education. I love it, it's ludicrous, but I really enjoy it. https://maximumfun.org/episodes/oh-no-ross-and-carrie/ross-and-brian-dunning-and-the-ufo-movie-they-dont-want-you-to-see/ #itwasaliens #skeptoid #ONRAC

There is nothing new under the sun.
“In the face of scientific opinion, and the overwhelming majority of his peers, Pravda declared Lysenko the winner of the argument. By 1939, after quite a few scientists had been imprisoned, shot or “disappeared”, including the director of the Lenin Institute, there was a vacancy to be filled. And the most powerful man in the country filled it with Trofim Lysenko. Lysenko was now Vavilov’s boss.” #politics #Politics #skeptoid

@terrorskull I’d like to listen to an episode bringing together all the info on photos sprinkled among Skeptoid’s episodes into one episode. There’s a lot to learn ab debunking photos of various phenomena. #skeptoid #skeptic
Good #Skeptoid episode today on spotting #FakeNews which is worth a read/listen.
I think most of us are aware of a lot of these approaches/techniques that Brian outlines, but a refresher never hurts. It is important to remember that no one, not you, not me, is immune to this stuff.
Sadly, I think the people I know who need this most will ignore it and continue getting their "news" from highly biased and fact deficient sources.
