This was inevitable. When they introduced the idea of Alternative Facts all those years ago, that was the beginning of a road of epistemic destruction that led us inexorably here. To an alternative encyclopedia with alternative facts from an alternative reality. @willoremus.com @david.noll.org

January 6 was no big deal
(quote from screen capture from Grokipedia)
January 6 United States Capitol attack The January 6 United States Capitol attack was a riot on January 6, 2021, in which supporters of President Donald Trump, protesting the certification of Joe Biden's 2020 election victory amid widespread claims of voting irregularities, breached security barriers and entered the U.S. Capitol Building during a joint session of Congress, temporarily disrupting proceedings and prompting the evacuation of lawmakers. 12 The breach followed a rally near the White House where Trump repeated fraud allegations and directed the crowd to march to the Capitol, stating they would proceed "peacefully and patriotically" while also declaring "we fight like hell" and that if they did not, "you're not going to have a country anymore." 3114) Several hundred individuals entered the building after overcoming Capitol Police lines, engaging in vandalism, confrontations with officers, and unauthorized occupation of areas including the Senate chamber, though most carried no firearms and the incursion was cleared
within hours, allowing certification to resume that evening. (5)(6]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:me5zai2qgudscwjevk4jddsx/bafkreif3q2rlenhnianlo4nelji7hgypnhp3td4f2z7epl4b3qpy6g62r4@jpeg)

I have family in Iran. I am terrified for their safety. If the U.S. enters this war, I will be scared for my own safety, too. Please, please contact Congress and tell them to do everything they can to stop this administration from going to war against Iran. www.commoncause.org/find-your-re...

If anyone needs a brief timeline cleanse, here is Freddie again, looking all spiffy from his latest visit to the groomer, but also sad that we made him go through that again.

On that note, this is Freddie, in the middle of his *nightly* ritual of taking his bone out of his bed, roaming the house for 20 minutes searching for a new place to hide it, and ultimately deciding that actually, his bed is the best place for it after all.
