Fact-check - Tumblr Posts
It is a cool story, but according to that Wikipedia link, she was probably not a real person.
my fave greek history story to tell is that of agnodice. like she noticed that women were dying a lot during childbirth so she went to egypt to study medicine in alexandria and was really fucking good but b/c it was illegal for women to be doctors in athens she had to pretend to be a man. and then the other doctors noticed that she was 10x better than them and accused her of seducing and sleeping with the women patients. like they brought her to court for this. and she just looked at them and these charges and stripped in front of everyone like “yeah. im not fucking your wives” and then they got so mad that a woman was better at their jobs then them that they tried to execute her but all her patients came to court and were like “are you fucking serious? she is the reason you have living children and a wife.” so they were shamed into changing the law and that is how women were given the right to practice medicine in athens
A news site called WindowsCentral just posted a headline: "57% of all content on the web is AI-generated."
They're misquoting a Forbes article that said, "57% of all text-based content on the web is AI-generated."
Which itself was also a misquote of a study saying "57% of all text translations on the web are machine generated."
Figured I should give everyone a heads up
for all the "OMG dead Internet theory is real!" posting coming up.
Facts.... cold hard facts 😔🫣
Maybe I am just a cat
Can’t argue with the facts!!!!!!!
there is something so darkly comical about tumblr potentially outliving twitter
tumblr, which is held together with duct tape and madness, run by three raccoons in blood stained Yahoo! hats and a handful of crabs, its only discernible source of income the sale of shoelaces from an inside joke so inside no one knows the original source anymore and fake blue checkmarks... that website still lives on
truly the cockroach of social media and I love it for that
mi amor ♥️
TAEYONG FACT CHECK 10.06.2023
The eleventh commandment should be to fact check what you read, especially if it looks like clickbait or if it looks like something very one-sided or black and white. Nothing, nothing, no issue political or societal can claim to be one hundred percent right, or correct, or ethical according to only one source. Always fact check. Always look at both sides of things if the sources are available.
Yes, because the other guy tried to overturn our democracy. Get a fucking grip.
…fact check: harris is right, leaders of the world did, in fact, laugh at trump.
if something confirms your biases, that's when you REALLY NEED to fact check it!
if it scratches an angry little itch, fact check it!
if it gives you petty satisfaction, fact check it!
if it feels like revenge, fact check it!
ESPECIALLY if it's about a group or demographic rather than named individuals, FACT. CHECK. IT.

Marie Antoinette
so it's three in the morning so excuse my ramblings but:
Marie Antoinette, first of all, did NOT say "let them eat cake" the girl was literally fed on a silver spoon, what did you expect? There's no actual evidence supporting this.
She was still a child when she was married off to Louis XVI! It was a political alliance, you can't possibly expect a 14 y/o to rule a whole nation.
Her world was Austria. She was born and raised there. France was an entirely new world for her. She knew nothing of the customs, the traditions. What could she do?
It's said that her last words were to her executioner for apologizing for stepping on his shoes. Does that really strike you as something someone so apparently heartless would say, even if she were trying to save herself? No. I didn't think so.
It's all easy to say from here but my point is that maybe we shouldn't treat her a some plain narcissistic queen—I believe she, like everyone, had her own issues and a complicated personality.
