Sometimes it is Worth it to Go Down the Rabbit Hole, Just a Bit.



So you see someone's tweet being reported as if they said something newsworthy, or worthy in some way.  And you never heard of them.  So you click on the link and go to their twitter page and you still are all . . .  who da fuck is this?  So you look around because you are there already.  And if you are lucky you hit pay dirt.  In my case to day, this line:  The actual line:

"During our show, I passed this storyline along fairly credulously."

The actual person's name is irrelevant.  Likewise, the story.  The point is doing that shit!   As a quick aside, the rest of the story is about how the writer chose to verify or not the story, after passing it along.  And they discovered they passed on bullshit.

Peeps are free to pass on bullshit.  Peeps are free to do all sorts of thoughtless, stupid shit.  And sometimes they pay for it.  Sometimes not.  And sometimes peeps admit it.

That is refreshing, when they do that!

PS.  The passed along credulously story was from the Daily Wire.  Tisk, tisk.
