The WaPo on the nasty dreck sliming out of 8chan &c is intriguing.

This WIRED story

follows the tweet/retweet patterns to claim that folks decrying the bullshit "crisis actors" theories were, unintentionally, encouraging the spread of the "crisis actor" meme. IOW, any publicity is good publicity.

I want a different world, now.

I enjoyed the sorting of lentils, haha! My more recent batch of lentils is perfectly nice and can be cooked with little preparation, whereas the last batch I bought was full of small stones and clods of earth about the size and colour of lentils; sorting through took a while, though I didn't go so far as to use callipers.
