X is a disinformation dumpster fire—so why would anyone use it as a model for fact-checking? Oh wait…

🚨 Meta is ditching its fact-checking program for a “community notes” system like X. Because who needs truth when you can crowdsource chaos?

Welcome to my wall scrawls.

Yeah, I’m thinking the bulk of my time on Meta (Facebook/Threads/Instagram) is pretty close to an end. If it turns into a plague swamp like Musk’s destroyed Twitter, I don’t see it as very useful except to talk to people I can’t reach otherwise.– (@scottobear.bsky.social) January 7, 2025

A day of light snow in the backyard, time lapse of some sledders, and about 3 inches of anow and ice over 24 hours.

Day 20,426

Got some lovely little flurries today, but certainly not the “end times” stuff that folks seem to get up to whenever things change a little bit. Maybe 1-3″ of snow today, and an ice rain to make things a bit slippery tomorrow and in the week ahead.

Snow didn’t stick, but the time lapse is neat anyhow.
