Across social media, posts are flying up faster than most fact-checkers and moderators can handle.
Here are some basic tools everyone should use when consuming breaking news online. wapo.st/3Hj92AE
Social media is built for things to go viral.

Look at who is sharing the information.
If it’s from friends or family members, don’t trust the posts unless they are personally on the ground or a confirmed expert. wapo.st/3Hj92AE
Biden's Supreme Court pick is Ketanji Brown Jackson, people close to process say. She'd be the first Black woman in court’s history. washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
A former public defender, Ketanji Brown Jackson served as a trial court judge in Washington for eight years before Biden elevated her last year to the influential U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
Jackson, 51, would also be just the third African American in the Supreme Court’s 233-year history.

Earthships are off-grid, self-reliant houses built from tires, dirt and garbage that have long been an offbeat curiosity for travelers passing by the ski town of Taos — but suddenly look like a haven for climate doomers. wapo.st/3hbLuTU
Mike Reynolds has been building Earthships since the 1970s. After graduating from architecture school, he took up off-road motorcycle racing to try to injure himself to avoid the draft. He never left, attracting interest as homes arose from the dirt. wapo.st/3hbLuTU
Earthships operate using six green-building principles governing everything from solar electricity to food production. A typical building uses about one-sixth as much power as a conventional house. wapo.st/3hbLuTU
From @LauncherWP | “Elden Ring” review in progress: No one is prepared for how colossal this game is wapo.st/3sYKx6N
