I didnā€™t. I replied to someone who did, in case anyone took that source at face value. ā€œConsider the sourceā€ was not an invitation to read the link.

Finagle also has a snobbish friend named finesse. :wink: Different from the noun covering how pols tried and failed to manage the anti-vaxx and anti-mask vocal minority. :weary:

There was a suggestion of Russian involvement in the misinformation campaign, the security expert in the interview noting that the playbook matches. There is the clear advantage of putting a neighbour, NATO member, and G7 country on its back foot, while readying nonsense, if not an actual attack, in what it no doubt sees as the ā€œUkraine Salientā€. Iā€™ll mark the analysis as ā€œunproven but highly plausibleā€.

Chaos has a very real cost.

But there remains some question about whether, as police said Friday, a bicycle was thrown at one of them.

When pressed for details that it was indeed a bicycle ā€” there have been reports that it was perhaps a knocked-over wheelchair ā€” Bell said he would have to check.

COPS: Somebody totally just threw a bicycle at us

REPORTER: Are you just making shit up now

COPS: I donā€™t know

REPORTER: You donā€™t know if youā€™re lying to me right this minute? You yourself donā€™t expect things other cops tell you to be the truth?

COPS: Iā€™ll have to get back to you on that

ā€œSome accounts claiming to support the Canada trucker protests are run by con artists abroadā€

emphasis mine

the largest theoretically legitimate fund raiser was more than 8 million dollars. thatā€™s 2-4 thousand for every person who showed up even just to gawk on the busiest day. thatā€™s a heck of a lot of bottled water and sandwiches, or a very nice retirement for some very few

are you a con artist if youā€™re conning the con artists? i know two wrongs donā€™t make a right, but a con con artist seems maybe just an artistā€¦

Clearly, this unherd site is full of hot takes and bullshit. Best avoided.

Thanks for the warning, will not click.

Just FTR, if anyone ever comes across clips, quotes or mentions from ā€œServus TVā€: steer clear. Shouldnā€™t be a problem if you arenā€™t germanophone, really. But for some reason, Googleā€™s algo thought it would be a good idea to serve me content from them in their news feed. :face_vomiting:

I guess weā€™re still waiting for vaccines designed specifically for the Omicron Variant, then?

To be clear: the German government is accommodating this ā€œsizeable minorityā€ of people. If I find the time and anyone is interested, Iā€™ll give you my analysis on the reasons for this.
