My bullshitmeter has gone off. When Trump says “only I know” you can be sure it’s crap.

Wilders mocht ook weer even raaskallen dat Timmermans en Bontenbal "de steun aan de Joden terugtrokken" en over "de antisemieten van GL". Echt, zet gewoon een live bullshitmeter in beeld bij dit soort debatten, het kan zo echt niet.

Hey BBC!

My #Bullshitmeter beat you *by a whole 6 months*

There will be no Eurostar station in Bedford 😀

Verdict that the idea there will be a Eurostar station in Bedford is bullshit

Also at one level, #BullshitMeter is just lightly poking fun at people

But at another level it's really depressing

How supposedly serious people can - with a straight face! - put out this abject rubbish, and even put some budget behind it

Yeah

A loop railway line connecting British and Irish cities

🐂💩

And to think Chris Williamson is apparently serious, normally

And at @kentindell.bsky.social 's suggestion, here is a #BullshitMeter for the idea that a theme park in Bedford might get trains through the Channel Tunnel

very useful time gap for the rest of us too, as it allows to go back and make a little mental note about all the financial commentators who ran with this as fact and make sure we calibrate the bullshitmeter correctly

Here are all the previous Bullshit Meter posts:

@jonworth.eu get the Bullshitmeter out. There is something to detect. 😅

I'd like to kindly point out that this 1) is story from a month ago, re-hashed, 2) there is no detail now to indicate it will happen any more than then, 3) I made a #BullshitMeter about it already

Basically: good idea, but this will not happen 1 July this year

Just had a survey from EU Commission - #Pods4Rail.

They seem serious.

“A railway-based intermodal pod system, autonomously operating, electrically driven homologated transport units designed for people or goods”

But one for @jonworth.eu #BullshitMeter?!

POV: Wenn du zwar so daran gewöhnt bist, den Scheiß vom Chef loyal vor anderen zu verteidigen, dass du sofort loslaberst, er aber diesmal echt den Bullshitmeter gesprengt hat, sodass dir wirklich gar nix mehr einfällt.

Bullshit. What's next? "Er könnte die "AfD" inhaltlich stellen"?? Kubicki wird weiter zur Normalisierung des blauen Lumpenpacks beitragen. Die FDP wird sich davon langfristig nicht erholen. Das ist auch das einzig Gute an dieser Posse.

De omslag naar niet-acceptatie van homoseksualiteit is zo groot in zo'n korte tijd (acceptatie in 4 jaar van 59% naar 37%), dat mijn interne bullshitmeter aanslaat.

Nu weet Trimbos wat het doet, maar ik meld het toch maar even mochten er mensen met verstand van dit soort onderzoek meelezen.
