Something I want people to take away from the assassination attempt of Donald Trump is that it was also a mass shooting. There’s a total of 4 victims, which qualifies as a mass shooting, and since July 1st there has been 39 mass shootings in America. We are only 15 days into July and people still argue about gun violence while the number of shootings keeps going up.

Given the misinformation that's been going around and will be going around, thought this might be helpful to some people
For a lot of reasons, I'm very good at this/at searching, to the point where I have worked as a professional fact-checker for two different publishers. So, here goes:
My Article Fact-Checking Protocol
Thorough Version
Read the full article. Keep an eye out for emotionally loaded words, and all-or-nothing language
Keep an eye out or anything that sounds too good to be true, and in contrast, anything that sounds so awful it must be true
Run the website/source through the amazing Media Bias/Fact Check. They'll tell you about a publication's bias and history of accuracy
Go to the website's home page and read through the headlines. Look at what topics they cover/prioritize, sensationalist headlines, and whether they're framing anything in a way that feels odd/off to you
Do a search related to the topic. This can be keywords, a question, or even just copy-paste the article title (Recommended: use DuckDuckGo so the results don't change based on what Google thinks they can sell you)
If multiple highly credible sources that say the same thing pop up, and there's no major societal biases that might affect the coverage of the topic in those sources (e.g. anything related to the Israel-Palestine conflict/Palestinian genocide, no matter which side), then I'm done!
If there are major societal biases, or I can't get a consensus of sufficiently credible sources, then I do some combination of:
(1) search the topic again + the words "controversy" and/or "fake"
(2) search the opposite of the topic, or do some sort of other filtered search
(3) look up a sufficiently credible news outlet with the opposite point of view of my source, and see what they have to say
(4) if it's a big enough topic, start by looking up 2 of the top national papers and 1 major paper for your region (I usually do the ones in the US, because that's where I am In the US: the LA Times, the Washington Post, and the NY Times)
Adjust "news" to "relevant type of source, e.g. tech, environmental" as relevant for all of the above options
If no red flags come up, and it's a topic I understand enough to smell huge bullshit,
Then I'm usually done!
If there are red flags, or I actually need a certain amount of detail/understanding, then it gets more complicated, but that would be a whole other thing to break down and such
or
tl;dr
Quick Version
Read the full article. Keep an eye out for emotionally loaded words, and all-or-nothing language
Keep an eye out or anything that sounds too good to be true, and in contrast, anything that sounds so awful it must be true.
If I don't know the website:
Run the website/source through the amazing Media Bias/Fact Check. They'll tell you about a publication's bias and history of accuracy
If I trust the source, but something else pinged my radar:
Do a quick web search to verify anything that sounds suspicious or too good/bad to be true (Recommended: use DuckDuckGo)

Introducing: TRANSFORMERS FOR PALESTINE
Have you wanted to help Palestinians but didn't know how or didn't have a way to ? Do you like transformers ? This is a way you can directly help !!!
We're holding a raffle event to fundraise for Ruba and Iyad's families ! (You can see our introduction for them here along with vetting details)
Interest Check is OPEN from October 23-30 !!
This project means a lot to us so it would be greatly appreciated if you could fill out the form linked above so we can gauge the level of interest for this :] Artist applications will be up next week and the form for purchasing raffle tickets will be up the week after !
How it will work (subject to change) :
☆ A raffle ticket can be purchased by donating just $5 USD or more to their campaign and you can donate and enter as many times as you want !
☆ A winner (or even several if we have enough artists !) will get selected randomly every week for one month and they will get a personal commission from one of our artists !
★ We have 1 artist working with us currently but the more the merrier ! If you can't donate, you can absolutely contribute as an artist :]
Our askbox and dms are open if you have any questions at all
FREEDOM IS THE RIGHT OF ALL SENTIENT BEINGS !

Dick: Hey B, how many frogs do you think you’d have to find in the batcave before you start getting suspicious that someone is putting them there?
Bruce: zero.
Dick: that doesn’t even make sense, what-
Bruce: I will know of their scheme before it even happens and catch them in the act before they even plant the first one.
Dick: *scoffs* ok then hypothetically it’s someone using magic to—
Bruce: no metas allowed in Gotham
Dick: well ok they don’t have to be in Gotham to make things appear h-
Bruce: No. Metas. In. Gotham.
Dick:*throws his hands up in rage* ugh fine! My fault for wanting to make fucking conversation. Jesus Christ you’re insufferable *stomps away, muttering angrily to himself*
Bruce: *watches him go with a small shit-eating grin, whispering* the actual answer is three

‘Poseidon left a party in Ethiopia because the sea vibes went rancid after Odysseus set sail’ feels like a bit I would make up, but no. That actually happened.

I did a collab with Vograce :D And they motivated me to make my first merch! So naturally I had to make a bunch of CotL designs keychains. >v> So this is an interest check to see if I should make preorders. 🫣

christ sometimes I just wanna. steal a time machine & go back & sit down next to my 9-year-old self and just like. let them pull out their pokemon card binder & gush about their holographic gyarados or whatever. I'd just smile & ask questions about motherfukcing bulbasaur & tell my kid self that I thought they were a neat person, & someday they'd find other people who thought so too.
like i'm a grown adult who honestly finds most kids stuff boring, but. damn if i could go back & hang out with my baby self & listen to them ramble...just so they knew someone was listening. i would in a heartbeat. thinking about u kid
