@zeroarg@social.vivaldi.net yeah, i was seeing that on bluesky in the meantime. i think @404mediaco@mastodon.social's phrasing of his statement is not sound to be honest. (eta: following just information for you:) at web publications, it's not (as far as i know) standard practice to fact check colleagues' work on daily news type stories. i'm not saying that's good or even -- ars will have to watch this guy like a hawk if he stays on. but it's standard at this point, just as information for people.
