How much time do you have?

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

I love all the replies here asking for alt text. 🫶🏻❤️

Please add alt text to your posts. It's so important and allows more people to follow your achievements.

This is great! But please use #altText. Like many on Bluesky, I don’t reshare posts with images that don’t have alt-text. So failing to use it means a lot fewer shares.

Wow. As a farm kid in central NJ, I remember that soy was the de facto choice for fields in the area that otherwise would lie fallow. Seems ominous.
