- This is incorrect because Martin Scorsese does appear in the film as the character Jimmy Shorts.
- October 2, 1973 was the film's New York Film Festival screening date, not its theatrical opening date; authoritative film references list the New York release/opening as October 14, 1973.

- Bloomberg’s own billionaire profile does not show Musk at $1.23 trillion; it currently lists him at $722 billion.
- Musk was not worth $285 billion when he first overtook Jeff Bezos in January 2021; contemporaneous wealth trackers put him at roughly $188–190 billion.
- IRS-based nonprofit filings show the Musk Foundation had about $462.97 million in assets at the end of 2024, not over $14 billion.

- That is too strong. People also trade in unsubsidized prediction markets for informational and speculative reasons—because they think prices are wrong and expect to profit—not only because of hedging or other non-linear utility effects.

- JASSM-ER is not the anti-ship AGM-158 variant. Official U.S. Air Force and Lockheed Martin materials describe AGM-158B JASSM-ER as an air-to-surface / air-to-ground standoff missile for striking fixed and relocatable targets; the anti-ship member of the family is LRASM (AGM-158C).
- GOEX was acquired in 2022, but black-powder production did not restart that year. Company and Defense Department materials show the plant was being rebuilt in 2022 and production restarted on June 1, 2023.
- Transformers are ordinarily classified as parametric neural networks, not nonparametric models. In ML literature, researchers explicitly contrast transformer-based parametric models with separate nonparametric memory or retrieval components.

- The famous “customer complaint” tablet the post cites is Old Babylonian and written in Akkadian, so attributing it to “the Sumerians” is inaccurate.

- The $100,000 COVID-origins debate was held in November 2023, not early 2024. Early 2024 was when the outcome and post-debate writeups were published.

- Fully dollarized countries can still face balance-of-payments crises or IMF-recognized balance-of-payments needs. IMF sources explicitly say dollarization does not eliminate external crises, and Panama—an officially dollarized economy—received IMF financing in 2020 for immediate balance-of-payments needs.

- This is too narrow. Dollars from cross-border transactions need not be used only for U.S. goods or invested only in U.S. debt/equity; official balance-of-payments categories also include services, income/transfers, deposits, loans, direct investment, derivatives, and reserve assets.
- Not necessarily. Foreigners can obtain dollars through many channels besides selling goods, including services, income flows, asset sales, deposits, loans, and other financial transactions.
- Not just consumption. BEA says imports are subtracted because they are embedded across C, I, G, and X, all of which can include imported goods and services.

- Messi did not sign only through the 2023 season. Inter Miami’s official announcement said his contract ran through the 2025 MLS season.
- Josef Martínez was not acquired in a trade. Inter Miami’s official announcement says the club signed him.
- Kieran Gibbs was not named media director. Inter Miami officially announced him as an on-air talent and host for club content on Apple TV.
- Inter Miami’s official supporters page lists five official supporters groups, not four. It also includes IMS.MMXX.
- This is outdated and no longer true. Nu Stadium officially opened on April 4, 2026, and Inter Miami began playing there that day.

- This appears to mix up the soundtrack album with the song “Golden.” The soundtrack album was only nominated at the Grammys, while “Golden” won; official label material also describes the soundtrack album as RIAA-certified Platinum, not Double Platinum.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mescaline
- This date is wrong: Silas Weir Mitchell's peyote/mescal report was published in 1896, not 1986.
- This overgeneralizes across countries. France does not exempt peyote: French law specifically added "peyotl ou peyote" to the narcotics list.
- This cites the wrong legal basis. The specific federal peyote-use protection is tied to a DEA exemption and the American Indian Religious Freedom Act Amendments of 1994, not the original 1978 AIRFA alone.

- For federal campaigns, $3,500 is the limit per election, not the total per person. In the 2025–2026 cycle, an individual can generally give $3,500 for the primary and another $3,500 for the general election.

- This misidentifies both Carrier’s role and the “infernal columns.” Carrier was a Convention representative on mission at Nantes, not a field general, and the “infernal columns” were the punitive columns organized under General Turreau in early 1794.
- This gets both the date and the history wrong. Savenay was fought on 23 December 1793, and it did not end the Chouannerie, which continued as a distinct uprising until 1800.
- This conflates the Chouannerie with the Vendée uprising. Charette’s February 1795 peace was the Vendéan treaty of La Jaunaye, while the Chouans’ truce was the separate treaty of La Mabilais in April 1795.
