Right.

Part of why I said that I didn't think ist really meant all that much.

Borderlands had that

It also had a gun that shot swords. I'm not sure which was cooler

That is definitely an unforeseen downside!

Of course it matters that FOX is biased and would very much like to make up a case of Islamic terrorism. FOX makes up cases of Islamic terrorism, the same way that MSNBC shoves them under a rug. And my lord, FOX would totally love to change the identity so it sounded like a Saudi terrorist. Of course they would. And MSNBC would love to make it sound like it was a white gun owner.

Before the identity is known, MSNBC and friends will run stories that assume of course it is a white gun owner, while FOX and friends will run stories that assume of course it is an Islamic terrorist. And they will hold onto those assumptions until the last possible moment when it would be too embarrassing not to fold, in the hopes of leaving the right impression (for their purposes) with as many people as possible, and to signal their loyalty to their narrative model of the world. And then they will insist they didn’t say the things they previously said, and they will definitely insist they certainly haven’t repeated this pattern dozens of times.

Cross posting form politics.

Really good article about the perils of the phrase "follow the science."

cross-posting from gg discord since it's so weird

my mother in law tested positive with a rapid test, then did a pcr, and got a paxlovid prescription same day

pcr came back negative. then positive with another rapid test. then negative with 3 more rapid tests. this is over the course of a couple days

then positive with a rapid test and negative with another taken at the same time

i think all the positives have been quickvue. binax has all been negative. she did get a negative quickvue also, though

the other two people in the house, who have not isolated from her, have not tested positive
wow, [you]. that all sounds terrible. i hope it gets better for you

I vaguely recall a story last week about a brand with high false positives. I don't recall which it was though.
