"do Your Own Research" has become a rallying cry for an enormous chunk of the internet. From home brew detectives, to digital sleuths, conspiracies and beyond, the idea of finding information yourself has never been more popular.
This video is an extremely basic overview of the first steps I take to do research for myself, excluding some major factors like cultivating sources, reaching out for comments, or running specific bits of information by experts. On the most fundamental level, this is my process for looking at a story, and seeing it there is something there worth digging up.
Please do give feedback here, if this is something people would like to see more of there are myriad tactics I could go into with more depth. I decided to start with something jointly purposed, and easy to digest as a first pass.

The truth is, destroying a creative property for the purpose of harnessing hate watchers is FAR more economically sustainable than taking a risk and trying to create something truly great.

The X-Files (a popular science fiction cult fan series) has held tremendous popularity for many years. However, more than just a simple television program, The X Files appears to have accurately prediction a great deal of the civil unrest we see today.
From pandemic policy, to civil unrest and beyond... this show, and its writer, have done a remarkable job of staying relevant, years after the show has officially ended.
Social Media is currently plagued by a pandemic of disinformation. Hidden inside advertising funnels, and deceptive news organizations are "satirical" article posts that seem purpose built to mislead the American people.
One such culprit is "Vancouver Times"... which is responsible for shoddy labelling, and deceptively crafted articles to such an extreme degree it beggars belief.
