2. Claims were made that an Oregon white supremacist was a Bernie Sanders supporter because of quotes found on a Twitter page bearing the white supremacist's name. Instead of spending 10 minutes looking this up, Jethro used this as proof that liberals were violent. Had he verified the claim, he would have discovered that the Oregon white supremacist shared a name with someone who was indeed a Sanders supporter, and the actual white supremacist supported the same candidate as Jethro. This is an example of pseudology.

3. Alex is working to cause mistrust in easily verifiable events; even declaring in a court of law that his activities and claims were made up. Alex has made a career out of this and he has become a pseudologist.

Word of the Day on October 17, 2026
A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.

Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”

Notes:
Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.
