First real snowfall this season. The U, without fail, sends out its snow and ice warning, telling us “never run on icy ground” and “walk like a penguin.”
There hasn’t been a single syllable about Covid, vaccines or masks for at least 3 years, but don’t slip out there!

If you see a video being shared here about a woman calling 911 on a Black neighbor in her apartment complex and he turns out to be Boston’s new police chief, it’s a fake.
(When the “TV news anchor” announced the police chief’s apartment number on the air, I had my doubts, which research confirmed.)

Making up what you think of as "true lies" to advance a righteous cause is, in fact, working directly against it. When I see someone spreading disinformation on *behalf* of a position or view I support, I don't ask if they're real or an agent-provocateur, because the difference doesn't matter.

Those are just the ones we know of and who came forward. One cannot help but wonder how many more did not survive.
