A fact buddy is an individual with whom one exchanges factual information on a frequent or infrequent basis.
There are rarely discrete terms of commitment or participation agreed upon verbally or in writing between the concerned parties. The very nature of the bond between fact buddy and fact buddy is a deep understanding and appreciation for facts. Presumably, both individuals are lifelong learners that act as sponsers to each other, offering a safe and encouraging environment where one may share knowledge without being deemed pretentious or condescending.
“Hey Dude, how bout this weather eh? Gorgeous sunrise!! Sweet surfing mate!”
“Yeah brah. It may look nice, but I read that the color is often due to the level of pollution in the air.”
“Seriously? I never knew that. Interesting.”
“True story. Can you hand me my blue sun sunnies dude?”
“They’re actually cyan.”
“Righteous dude. We both learned something today and didn’t take insult. We are the best fact buddies!”
in the office ten years later ..
“Can you hand me that pen dude?This pencil is smudging everywhere.”
“Actually, this pen is a gel pen, which is notably far less superior than a fine print ball point steel barrel .3 mm pen. -If smudging is the variable you are most concerned with. -You could do gel, but you want to make sure you have quality paper that can absorb the ink quickly as it takes longer to dry than a ball point. Otherwise you may find the pencil more tolerable.”
“Thanks fact buddy, do you happen to have one I can borrow? I’ll have to look in to getting better writing utensils!”
“We make the best recommendations for one another.”
“I know. I love your smiles encrusted knowledge bombs.”
Commonly referred to as “fact-checkers,” fact-chokers are hirelings contracted by Ministry of Truth tentacles such as the Trusted News Initiative (TNI) to “debunk” facts that threaten regime narratives.
Coined by Margaret Anna Alice in response to a November 18, 2021, el gato malo Substack post requesting ideas for a new name for “fact check,” the term has since appeared in numerous pieces at the Margaret Anna Alice Through the Looking Glass Substack.
Other variations on the term include “fact-choking” and “fact-choke.”
To reveal the Orwellian nature of this totalitarian tool of mind control, “fact-choker,” “fact-choking,” and “fact-choke” should be substituted wherever references to “fact-checker,” “fact-checking,” and “fact-check” appear.
“The fact-chokers smeared the dissidents.” (from Margaret Anna Alice’s poem “Mistakes Were NOT Made: An Anthem for Justice”)
Shun fact refers to well-documented facts based on established research, statistics, or journalism that are often overlooked or ignored in public discourse. These facts can provide new insights and understanding on a broader, more comprehensive level, without jumping to conclusions.
The aim for shun facts is to inspire people to be curious and aware of questions such as "How did we end up here?" without claiming an absolute truth.
Often, shun facts make more sense than the narrative, as if they are the missing links, but adding newer facts without necessarily disproving the original narrative.
A collection of shun facts may even strengthen established facts, leveling up the main public conversation when overwhelming evidence from multiple sources and experts points to verifiable facts that seems to be consistently omitted from this very discourse or the algorithms feeding us.
** There is a link between green urban spaces and mental health, but city planning isn’t based on shunfacts like this: you listing statistics and research stating the connection that people feel calmer and more connected in nature, ADHD symptoms decrease in nature, tests showing how more people thrive when there are birds and flowers in the hood, also referring to columnists stating it in social media and health care magazines, finally adding a proper news story where the mayor claims "there are insufficient funds for frivolities such as flower parks in the city, as all available resources are required for infrastructure projects and, of course, the absolutely essential swimming pool in the town hall basement."
** The books of Yuval Harari (Sapiens, Homo Deus, and others) and Naomi Klein (No Logo, The Shock Doctrine, and others) are based on large amounts of shun facts.
** Dr. Gabor Maté (The Myth of Normal) puts shun facts into a more resonant context than the established narrative about the decline in mental health in the Western world.
** Clarissa Pinkola Estés (Women Who Run With the Wolves) also uses shun facts from psychology and fairy tales to explain feminine and masculine archetypes that are suppressed in modern societies.
