Spin Zone / I stop reading a "news" article when...
« on: July 20, 2023, 01:55:22 PM »
in the first or second sentence the "reporter" states that the Republicans raised "unsubstantiated allegations against" ...

um, I wonder if the geniuses at AP understand that investigating claims by a whistleblower isn't raising "unsubstantiated allegations"...

Sometimes the purpose of a hearing is to try to determine facts...

"Transportation Department Hires Pair To Explore Possibilities"

"A new office created by the Healey administration is intended to "bring experimentation" and "different ideas" to the state's department of transportation, which has come under scrutiny lately in the face of a litany of safety and service issues."

The Chief of the Office of Possibility will make $160,000
and the deputy will make $138,000

per year.

Spin Zone / "Artistic Swimming"
« on: July 18, 2023, 08:54:06 AM »
It used to be called synchronized swimming, not it's called artistic swimming.  And now men will be competing in the "sport" in the next year's summer olympics.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA

I thought I was reading babylonbee and/or it's April 1, but nope, it was the stalwart of journalistic integrity AP.

Spin Zone / non-consecutive terms
« on: June 05, 2023, 04:02:39 PM »
I was curious if any US president had been elected to a 2nd term after being defeated the first time he ran for re-election.

Apparently only one... Grover Cleveland.

A democrat, but doesn't sound like the democrats today.

Spin Zone / Method to count "covid deaths" changed once again
« on: April 07, 2023, 04:42:23 AM »
In March 2022, Massachusetts changed how it counted deaths due to covid-19.  And corrected the total count.

Previously, anyone who died of natural causes (as listed on the death certificate) was counted as a covid death if they had tested positive for covid-19 in the previous 60 days.  It was changed to 30 days, and about 3800 deaths were removed for the total.

Now, as 1 April 2023 (ironically), the new definition relies almost exclusively on the cause of death listed on the death certification and applies to deaths occurring as of April 1, 2023.  Interesting that they won't go back and correct the data.

(1984 comes to mind...)
