Traitement complètement à côté de la plaque par BFM du retour des astronautes de l'ISS 😡
bfmtv.com/international/apres-

- ils n'étaient pas bloqué
-Musk n'y est pour rien. C'est un de ses vaisseaux mais dans le cadre d'une rotation nominale
- La présence d'un Russe dans l'équipage est normale car il était dans le vaisseau à la montée, dans le cadre d'échanges de sièges prévus avec la NASA pour plusieurs années.

Pour le contexte objectif, mon article

BFMTVAprès neuf mois de naufrage dans l'ISS, deux astronautes de retour sur TerreVIDÉO - Les deux astronautes américains bloqués dans l'ISS depuis neuf mois sont arrivés sur Terre ce mardi 18 mars. Ils ont atterri au large de la Floride en fin de soirée.

FYI: The "Dunning Kruger Effect" doesn't exist. It turned out the data of the study wss misinterpreted at the time.
It only says we all think we're above average when comparing ourselves with others, no matter how smort we actually are.

tldr; artificial sweeteners are OK, vaccines are good, supplements are unregulated and come with unsubstantiated claims, BPA in receipts is fine, sunscreen is good, alternative cancer treatments don't treat cancer, HFCS isn't any worse than honey or cane sugar, etc, etc

Not my usual topic, but here’s a pattern I’ve noticed:

How to talk like a climate denialist:

1. Start with a myth, e.g., "humans emit only a small % of CO2" or "scientists don't agree."
2. When debunked, dismiss scientific consensus as bogus.
3. Next, claim the scientific method is flawed.
4. Fall back on "common sense" or "practical wisdom".
5. Finally, invoke conspiracies about free speech, bribed scientists, or hidden agendas.

"OPCW inspectors found no evidence to support allegations of a Syrian government chemical weapons attack in the city of Douma in April 2018. But their findings were suppressed, and the team was sidelined"
There was no chemical weapons attack. It suited the usual actors. Video embedded in the article
