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.

Don't age me like that it's only been 15 years lol.
And hilariously I had just re-read one of my old Sherlock fics for the first time in years and was remembering what an amazing time that was.

How many people watched Sherlock 25 years ago and still worry they're alcoholics when they can't plug their phone charger in the first time. Even if they haven't been drinking.

Kind of baffling to write and publish a whole article on this topic and not mention COVID a single time
More strokes are occurring in younger people. There's been a significant increase, nearly 15%, in stroke prevalence among people ages 18 to 44.

i don’t *really* care if we get 25 episodes seasons back, but i would REALLY just like to see any fucking consistency in release schedules and SOME SORT of standard length.
i am tired of trying to get a read on a show and not knowing how many episodes it even is to know if a slow burn is worth it

We're gonna need a truth and reconciliation commission and Nuremberg style trials to reckon with all of this evil, and any Dem candidate for office who shies away from a full reckoning in the name of "moving forward as a nation" can get well and truly fucked
I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

A Babson College student wanted to surprise her family for Thanksgiving. She was deported instead. - The Boston Globe
Any Lucia Lopez Belloza was at Logan to catch a flight to Texas when immigration authorities detained her as she was about to board the plane.

I’m mindful today of those for whom this is their first Thanksgiving without a loved one. I’m praying for a measure of peace and the comfort of beautiful memories.

This is not done: More ornaments, tree skirt, mantel something something, maybe candles in the fireplace? Rehang the outdoor lights (the FL heat made them unstuck ugh). I have all the presents bought and I'm doing all gift bags this year. Hopefully I'll be done with all that in the next two weeks.

I am ready to go beyond implication and say after reading the facts here that one of the most recognizable people working in the White House almost certainly had ICE arrest her nephew's mother as a favor to her brother
This article heavily implies that ICE is being used in a custody dispute to help Karoline Leavitt's brother get his son and have the mother locked up in ICE detention
"A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts."

This is an old post, but I have Thoughts: An example of this is the Sunset Limited: Jacksonville to Los Angeles. A bridge was wiped out around Mobile, AL during Hurricane Katrina, and after 20 yrs, the gov't still doesn't think it's worth fixing. That's the fucking shame of it all.
Obviously Scalzi is correct that you cannot just take a train basically anywhere in the US outside the DC-Boston corridor (and even then it is slower than driving and costs as much as flying), but it doesn't have to be that way.

The holiday is here and I can relax for a few days, which hopefully means I'll be online more. No plans for today, except cleaning, and hamburgers for dinner: mine and @ptgt1999.bsky.social's Thanksgiving tradition. Tomorrow is friendsgiving w/ his friends, here. Lots to do to get ready!
