Consider the recent, "there is no dark matter and dark energy, but instead I invoke tired light plus evolving fundamental constants, and ignore a whole slew of lab constraints to conclude the Universe is 26.7 Gyr old."

Here was the debunker piece I wrote: https://bigthink.com/starts-with-a-bang/universe-13-8-or-26-7-billion-years/

Here was my follow-up when I got asked about it a year later: https://bigthink.com/starts-with-a-bang/new-study-disprove-dark-matter-dark-energy/

I think I did a great job, and it wasn't worth it. It feels like it was all a colossal waste of energy and time.
