After eight months I posted an update to our fundraiser.
TriXteR Phillips @TriXteRPhillips
Even small one-time donations of 5, 10, or even 20 dollars will help us reach our goal of relocating to Colorado.

Echoes and quote spouts help as well.

Speaking of houses...what are some good songs about houses/"home"?

It's good to be home again. Pictured: our neighbor's house across the street under a rainbow this afternoon; our house casts a shadow on their yard.
Professor Kyle @blackcatprose
And yes, you read that right...we bought this house, a housing-crisis-foreclosure, for $29,000. It's the only way we ever could have afforded a house, & we're so, so thankful we could swing it.

We have also been developing Accuracy Alerts for images. The first image is the false claim, and Accuracy Alerts successfully debunk the false claims made in the image.

Accuracy Alert!

Based on the information provided, it seems that various organizations like and Google have been developing technologies for accurate detection and identification of AI-generated images. There's mention of tools like 's image detection system for images generated by DALL-E 3, Google's Imagen 2, and efforts by the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity. However, there's no clear information about a system named 'Accuracy Alerts' specifically designed for debunking false claims made in images. Therefore, while the development and enhancement of AI image detection tools seem evident, the claim about 'Accuracy Alerts' for images cannot be verified as true from the given sources.

Taylor Swift added songs from her new record-breaking album to the European leg of her Eras Tour, and one of the songs is called 'Bouzy Is The Coolest.'

Accuracy Alert!

The key findings from the sources assessed suggest that Taylor Swift did indeed add songs from her latest album, "The Tortured Poets Department," to the European leg of her Eras Tour. However, there is no mention in the provided sources about a song titled 'Bouzy Is The Coolest.' Therefore, the claim can be partially validated: it is accurate to state that Taylor Swift added songs from her new record-breaking album to the European leg of her Eras Tour, but the claim about the specific song 'Bouzy Is The Coolest' is unsubstantiated based on the available sources.

As I said on Twitter: Shit like this will get accounts shutdown permanently on Spoutible. No ifs, ands, or buts.

If you're looking for a non-toxic alternative to Twitter, Spoutible might be right for you.

Breaking news test: Driver sought in Hollywood fatal hit-and-run, search on for white Chevy Malibu. #FactCheckMe

Accuracy Alert!

Based on the credible sources, the claim that a driver is sought in Hollywood for a fatal hit-and-run, and that the search is on for a white Chevy Malibu, appears to be accurate. A publication from CBS Miami directly supports this claim, stating the Hollywood Police Department is searching for the driver of a white Chevy Malibu who is suspected to have struck a pedestrian. Other sources cited did not contradict this statement, although they did not provide additional corroborating information specific to the incident in question.

You know, if I have 44 billion dollars that I could waste to buy a perfectly functioning website just to fuck it up, I'd've bought as many Patriot/HIMAR/air defense systems for Ukraine that I could with that money instead.

Accuracy Alert!

The sources referenced do partially confirm that Ronald Reagan made the claim in 1980 that marijuana is probably the most dangerous drug in the United States, with potential for permanent ill effects. However, these sources do not validate nor disprove his conclusion regarding marijuana being the most dangerous drug. Many of the sources do not focus on marijuana or do not give factual information about its effects. Therefore, while we can confirm that the quote is accurate, the purported 'conclusion' by 'leading medical researchers' implied in the claim is not supported by the sources provided. Further research would be required to verify that conclusion.

Europeans ate mummies. #FactCheckMePlease

Accuracy Alert!

Based on the credible sources provided, it can be concluded that Europeans did indeed engage in the practice of consuming parts of ancient Egyptian mummies. This practice, which purportedly began around the 12th century, was often related to medicinal beliefs. The trade of Egyptian mummies for this purpose was quite prevalent and continued well into the 18th century, illustrating a long-lasting fascination and obsession with mummies among Europeans. However, it's important to note that this particular usage of mummies has ceased in modern times.

Legalizing cannabis leads to higher use rates amongst teens.
#factcheckplease #FactCheckOnAisleFive

Accuracy Alert!

The claim that legalizing cannabis leads to higher use rates amongst teens is not consistently supported by the reviewed sources. Some of the examined studies from reputable sites like www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov and www.cdc.gov indicate that cannabis use among teens actually decreased post-legalization in some cases. There's evidence showing some increase in cannabis usage during the commercialization phase, but a national trend suggests fewer youth are reporting marijuana use. However, it's also discussed that in states where cannabis is legalized, residents do tend to use marijuana more frequently; yet, it's unclear whether this specifically applies to teens. The sources highlight that various factors, such as regulations, packaging, and public health education, can impact youth cannabis use. Thus, the relationship between cannabis legalization and use rates amongst teens appears to be multifaceted and may require further research.
