Day 18

So I heard there was an earthquake. Of course I heard about this quite a while ago, but the follow-up is interesting. The east coast is unprepared for earthquakes in the same way that the west coast is unprepared for floods. We don't have the equipment or the training to deal with them. Speaking of weather, there's supposed to be a hurricane coming.

A local news channel reported a story about a long-term celebrity couple splitting up. Their only source for that information was a tabloid, which they admitted on air, and they followed that up by saying that neither celebrity knew anything about where the rumor came from, nor do any of their friends or family members. Why would you report that?

beda, perplexity's pulpit, real-world weirdness
