Not just raw newsfeeds, but understanding how it fits together. Who are these people? What does it take to sway them? Along with the hidden criminal activity. But more evidence-based. Too much conspiracy for the sake of conspiracy.

It's not a game, not role

It's not a game, not role play where people win and lose. We like to discuss news and ideas. I will definitely leave if more people join in with the desire you apparently have to make this place that kind of place.

Edit to add: you realize you are pushing the mini-version of Trump troll divisiveness? I.E. A Team vs. B team. Just like sports. Root for your favorite. Rah rah blah. Way past that since like 2004. I remember how excited I was in 2005 when Josh Marshall invented a new subsite for adult conversation, it was called TPM Cafe. Lasted until they let in the political debate as sport crowd in 2007. Never again.

In reply to Mine's less cryptic -

you've actually been doing a great job especially lately organizing around this joint (you even made a comment a ways back that seemed to be related along the lines of how lately you've come to value straight news over opinion)

What a pair... ~OGD~

In reply to hey, how did I get from that

Mine's less cryptic - Emptywheel digs up a lot of good DoJ material, and i (re)post what seems of both general interest and critical to government function/citizen awareness. Yes, if we had a good strong balanced editor, she'd have us focus more on racism and Critical Race Theory, but it is what it is.

Your comment

no, it wasn't Trump's "racism", it was his pouring fuel on a fire that the authors note swayed the community.

The residents discussed Trump's racism and divisiveness

What was the divisiveness supposed to trigger?

The divisiveness was to trigger a racist response

hey, how did I get from that

hey, how did I get from that Wikipedia link on my browser to this one, it's serendipity?

....Critics also point to the tendency to cover topics in a detail disproportionate to their importance. For example, Stephen Colbert once mockingly praised Wikipedia for having a "longer entry on 'lightsabers' than it does on the 'printing press'".[3] In an interview with The Guardian, Dale Hoiberg, the editor-in-chief of Encyclopædia Britannica, noted:

People write on things they're interested in, and so many subjects don't get covered; and news events get covered in great detail. In the past, the entry on Hurricane Frances was more than five times the length of that on Chinese art, and the entry on Coronation Street was twice as long as the article on Tony Blair.[4]

This critical approach has been satirised "Wikigroaning"...

Wut? I just did what any overwrought partisan 20 hrs a day news junkie would do. It's not like I'm obsessive or anything.
