Cats, Star Trek, DC, you know, the usual. Views expressed are personal and do not represent my employer. You know the drill.
You know you’ve lived in DC for over 20 years when you find this at the bottom of a box you never unpacked from your last move.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

I know most people I interact with here knows this stuff but I figured these times need frequent reminders for being a smart news consumer. Thanks @onthemedia.bsky.social for this evergreen guide!
![BREAKING NEWS CONSUMER'S HANDBOOK
1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don't trust anonymous sources.
3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information.
4. There's almost never a second shooter.
5. Pay attention to the language the media uses.
* "We are getting reports"... could mean anything.
* "We are seeking confirmation"... means they don't have it.
* "[News outlet] has learned"... means it has a scoop or is going out on limb.
1. Look for news outlets close to the incident.
2. Compare multiple sources.
3. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers.
4. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.

Lots of misinformation going around about ICE in Chicago including this post below showing masked agents. IT'S AN OLD VIDEO.
Listen to local experts like @unraveledpress.com. Don't re-post clips without double checking to see if they are accurate. If you don't know for sure, don't share.
