SPOILER ALERT: It's a blog

Samuel here.

For the only time ever, I will be brief. Simon and I have spent much of the last decade arguing with smart people on the internet. Sadly, the vast majority of our online arguments have faded into obscurity, clouded in the mists of facebook walls or long deleted from MSN chat histories. Well, no longer! This post is the official inauguration of News Feed Fact Check: where two 18-year old ideologues argue with their friends on subjects as varied as political science, physics, and...well, that's about it. Maybe gaming and movies, if it's a light news feed day.

Here's the perk: we don't just want to argue with our friends. We want to argue with your friends too! Submit your own facebook screenshots (with all identifying factors blanked out) as a comment on ANY post, and we will write responses to your friends!

We would like to keep every post in a consistent format that is easy to scan. First, we will take a screenshot of the offending post on our Facebook News Feeds. We will blank out names/photos, then stick the image in the first line of the post. Then, we will compose the post as a direct response to the person who wrote the offending status or shared the offending link. Posts will say at the top which of the two of us authored them. Some will come from just one of us, some will come from both.

Now on to some incredibly opinionated ramblings. We will be updating according to the schedule here. Always feel free to leave a comment or two giving us any sort of feedback; if you disagree or agree with what we're saying or how we're saying it, we'd love to hear. Enjoy!

P.S. Here are some super cool people that I follow and you guys should too.

• This tumblr is run by a friend of mine who is actually a cyborg composed mostly of internet. Check it out. He shares tons of cool stuff that makes me laugh
• This webcomic is written and drawn by a friend of mine who is super good at writing AND drawing. It's about a goblin who is also a communist. Sorry, ladies, I called him first.
