reallywechecked.bsky.social @reallywechecked.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Did Swiss glaciers lose a fifth in five years? We checked. CHECKS OUT. Glamos measured a 5.5% ice loss in 2026 and almost 20% since 2021. It is ice volume, not the number of glaciers. The water shortage risk is real. 000
reallywechecked.bsky.social @reallywechecked.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Do we underestimate ocean heat by 150%? We checked. CHECKS OUT. The 150% figure is the study's own. Counting warm water before and after a heatwave raises total heat exposure about 153%. The data is 20 US estuaries, not the whole ocean. 000
reallywechecked.bsky.social @reallywechecked.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Is the $1.2B all for ocean protection? We checked. MISSING CONTEXT. The $1.2 billion announcement is real. But the release puts "more than $740 million" into conservation; the rest covers marine safety, fisheries and infrastructure. 000
reallywechecked.bsky.social @reallywechecked.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Is that existential risk line in Anthropic's S-1? We checked. STILL CHECKING. Anthropic confirms a draft S-1 went to the SEC confidentially. A confidential draft is not public, so the quoted line cannot be matched to the document yet. 010
reallywechecked.bsky.social @reallywechecked.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Did a drone hit Kyiv's science academy? We checked. MISSING CONTEXT. The drone hit the academy in central Kyiv and the fire was real. But no source says the academy was the intended target — and a woman was killed, which the post leaves out. 000
reallywechecked.bsky.social @reallywechecked.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Do North Sea storm surges cluster like this? We checked. STILL CHECKING. Surge clustering is real and documented. The exact 17.5% / 7cm figure comes from a paper we could not open, so we are not confirming that number yet. 000
reallywechecked.bsky.social @reallywechecked.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Is a ballpark being built in Grand Teton? We checked. MISSING CONTEXT. A park official did scout three sites for a ballpark inside Grand Teton. But MLB made the ask, the White House calls it not a priority, and no permit has been granted. 000
reallywechecked.bsky.social @reallywechecked.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Are 42% of Virginia households food insecure? We checked. MISSING CONTEXT. The 42% is quoted correctly from the 2026 Virginia Hunger Study. But it's a new survey replacing the discontinued USDA measure, so it doesn't compare to older rates. 000
reallywechecked.bsky.social @reallywechecked.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Are the Fairford arrests linked to the base? We checked. MISSING CONTEXT. The arrests and the protests are both real. Police have not confirmed the two are connected, and said the incident is contained. 000
reallywechecked.bsky.social @reallywechecked.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Is this Starship's first flight to Earth orbit? We checked. CHECKS OUT. Starship's 14th launch, but the first aimed at Earth orbit. The previous 13 flights were deliberately suborbital. The wording holds up. 000
reallywechecked.bsky.social @reallywechecked.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Do bosses hire more women after having a daughter? We checked. CHECKS OUT. The numbers are the study's own: 4.4% relative earnings, 2.9% employment. Small wording slip — 2.9% is women's relative employment, not literally a hiring rate. 010
reallywechecked.bsky.social @reallywechecked.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Does light at night damage your heart? We checked. CHECKS OUT. The line is a verbatim quote from NBC News. The study is real, but observational: it shows an association with subtle heart changes, not proven cause. 000
