"Suggested" Facebook Disinfo (Moon Landing Hoax Page)
(lemmy.world)
I still have a FB account since it's the only contact I have these days with a lot of my highschool friends. I logged in earlier today and saw this "NASA is a hoax" garbage in my "suggested" feed.
There's nothing in my history to suggest I have any interest in conspiracy theories. My friends are probably right-leaning on average (I'm from a small town in the south - so it goes), but I clicked and none of them are in that group. So I'm sort of assuming this is promoted. Joy.
Not out of my office, but right in front of it while my team was coming back from lunch. A woman was hit by a truck and we blocked the road + stayed with her until the paramedics came & took her to the hospital. I have no idea what happened to her afterward - it's one of those things that I occasionally remember and wish her well.
From my apartment: rioting + National Guard during the aftermath of the George Floyd shooting.
