Maybe I’m a dork, but I think“correlation does not equal causation” is actually a good thing to keep in mind.
I’m reminded of it every time a news story says something is “linked” to something else. I hate it when the word “linked” is used in this way. It’s often lazy journalism and/or a scare tactic. Saying that two things are “linked” implies a stronger relationship than may actually exist. I find it deliberately misleading.
I’m no expert when it comes to journalism, but I’d like to humbly offer a suggestion: if you’re going to write an article about a label, consider including A PICTURE OF THE LABEL.
They’ll point out that major cities are the biggest sources of pollution, while reminding us that most large US cities are run by Democrats. They’ll do so knowing that they’re being misleading, but as usual, they won’t care.
For every type of propaganda that you recognize, there are a dozen others you don’t. There’s propaganda designed for people who think they’re too smart to fall for propaganda. Too much money and power is at stake to leave any loose ends.
Source: my dad. He was in the Air Force, and once worked in a giant aircraft hangar that was big enough to accommodate an airship. He told me that the hangar had its own “weather”, and conditions inside the hangar were announced like weather forecasts.
That was only one hangar. Even though it was uncommonly large, it wasn’t nearly as big a city block.
On an unrelated note, I wonder how long it would take the inside of the dome to get filthy from things like exhaust.

It’s a really good thing that I’m not President. I have NO patience for this shit. Stopping Ukraine’s food shipments is simply unacceptable. I would have sent the Navy into the Black Sea by now, and possibly started a war with Turkey if they tried to stop the ships.
Allies, particularly here on Beehaw. Maintaining a positive atmosphere isn’t easy, and they’ve made several posts about their philosophy. It’s something they put a LOT of thought into.
My default opinion of fediverse mods is that they’re allies, unless they prove otherwise.
I wouldn’t put up with adversarial mods. I’m just a casual user, and there are too many instances to choose from. I’m not gonna tolerate that crap. This isn’t reddit.
Oooooh. Good one. I’d like this as a soda.
