I love that the most viral thread on Twitter is a 100+ year chain letter reposted in tweet form which was debunked by Snopes in 2001 (18 years ago). snopes.com/fact-check/railro…

It pissed me off, too. It’s a prehistoric problem that our brain believes a good narrative that is somewhat conclusive all too easy. So, maybe a new alarm flag: good narratives that fit together all too easy require special scrutiny.

But for some reason you seem to be the the only person in my feed admitting it and sharing corrections with their followers. Kudos for that!
