Over the last few months, we've talked about the weird obsession some people upset by the results of the election have had with the concept of "fake news." We warned that focusing on "fake news" as a problem was not just silly and pointless, but that it would quickly morph into calls for censorship. And, even worse, that censorship power would be in the hands of whoever got to define what "fake news" was.

I was going to make a smart comment about the "submit story" link being broken, but this is a really crap time of year and even the AAAS is just shitposting clickbait so there just isn't that much news.
I mean, seriously, the AAAS website this afternoon is entirely thinly disguised prog politic BS, and pure clickbait "Weasels electrocuted by particle accelerator honored in exhibit" "Fish communicate through their urine" "Who’s the toughest bird? Continentwide ranking reveals a surprise"
There's a lunar eclipse on Friday. Naturally its gonna rain. That's about as exciting as it gets.
Its just a slow time of the year.
