RobNegative covid test, and started on my first train journey in nameless aeons to @QEDcon, with #KnowledgeFight badges.
Train reading.
Normal uplifting stuff.
Look, it was *nearly* apocalypse.
After an excellent yesterday, people starting to arrive in the #qedcon main hall for #KnowledgeFight's Dan Friesen to talk about #AlexJones.
Dan strides onstage amid pyrotechnics and clouds of dry ice. Okay, not really.

But he did pick up his award. #QEDcon
Dan's project started because he couldn't find criticism of stuff Jones was saying, by people who'd really listened to his show and looked at the underlying sources.

"I took the risk [of being prepared to accept that what Jones was saying was true if backed up by facts] but it turns out... Alex is full of shit. So me and reality are still cool."

Audio clip of Jones, while being fawningly interviewed by Glenn Greenwald, saying he was drunk when he defamed the parents of the children murdered at #SandyHook.

Audio clip of Alex on air claiming graphically to have murdered several people by stomping their guts out.

"The media completely misses the mark on how severe Alex's bigotry is, maybe because nobody watches his show apart from me and his fans."

"What better image of integration could you have than women in hijabs going to Starbucks and shopping for pool supplies? It's like a Norman Rockwell painting." But Alex feels threatened by it, so rants on air.
