America's history, distorted. A nation built on stories - some true, some rewritten, some entirely false. For centuries, America has wrestled with the truth—shaping, distorting, and, at times, outright fabricating it to fit political agendas, fuel wars, and create heroes. But in the digital age, where misinformation spreads faster than ever, the very concept of truth itself is unraveling. Post-Truth (formerly Hoax) is a deep dive into the history of deception in America, from the founding my ...

"The slaying of the entire family promises to become a mystery which will take much time to unravel..." By the first anniversary of the Villisca murders, the Moore house stood shuttered.

As modern warfare becomes increasingly automated and AI-reliant, questions arise about the use of a “kill switch” overriding autonomous weapons in conflict zones.
