Does anyone know of a Signal 101 primer resource out there?
I don't mean ones like "here are the most secure settings", I mean like "every church lady on the block has installed this app at the same time and has no idea whatsoever how to use it, here's how to do it and what settings even are"

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

And I get it, times are tough and books can be expensive. But so is every form of recreation today. Live and read within your budget. Use the library (ebooks too). Oh no, there's a wait on a popular book. Tough shit. Don't steal it or pirate it. Wait. Read something else. You'll be fine.

This. Also, it sucks that we live in a world where someone must make a positive argument in favor of buying books. Someone had to write that book and convince someone with deep pockets to publish and distribute it. If you are interested in a book, just buy it (and read it).
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Y’all wanna hear a wild story? Charlie is right — this medley Prince made 30 years ago, blending many of his greatest hits & fan favorites into an extended mashup, is one of the most fun “only Prince could do this” things he made in the 90s. BUT: he told us he was gonna do it. In an AOL chat room…
Unpopular opinion: the Purple Medley is one of the best things Prince ever did.

Portland is ... right there. It's a real place. People live in it. People can go look at it. You could call someone there right now.

I think it's now possible to make a poli-sci course that equips one for modern political analysis better than most classic theory and has a syllabus sourced entirely from random internet posts.

This is one of those days that people need to be extra vigilant and mindful of what information they share about breaking news and events, ESPECIALLY if it confirms your biases and preferred narratives.
![* CUT OUT AND TAPE NEAR YOUR COMPUTER OR TV
BREAKING NEWS CONSUMER'S HANDBOOK
1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don't trust anonymous sources.
3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information.
4. There's almost never a second shooter.
5. Pay attention to the language the media uses.
• "We are getting reports"... could mean anything.
• "We are seeking confirmation".
"... means they don't have it.
• "[News outlet ] has learned".
"... means it has a scoop or is going out on limb.
6. Look for news outlets close to the incident.
7. Compare multiple sources.
8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers.
9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.

…I wonder how much of the Super Bowl Shuffle the Pope can recite from memory
Chicago has probably about 20 years to revel in having the first pope from the US.
And with the way we continue to celebrate the 1986 Bears, we're never going to let the world know a moment's peace (be with you).
