![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.
6. Look for news outlets close to the incident.
7. Compare multiple sources.
8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers.
9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.

I have always felt true shame at my inability to win the battle with predilection for Reeses Peanut Butter Cups.
Epstein emails have absolved me of all such shame.
Always proud to be incapable of certain human behaviours.

Bluesky is dying
Bluesky was invented to create a nicer space than Twitter. The problem is that too few people have joined and most are smug and boring.

My local cafe has some delicious looking muffins that unfortunately are covered in icing sugar. A dealbreaker for me. They very kindly offered to lick the sugar off for me. That is service.
