The US claims itself to be a champion for freedom of press, but as the world has witnessed, US politicians have turned social media into a tool to propagate disinformation and manipulate global public opinion, and a weapon for the US to stigmatize and demonize other countries. https://t.co/tyvssCITtC

Nate Silver @NateSilver538

If you're gonna retweet some claim about a scary new COVID variant, you probably ought to verify that the person who made the claim hasn't falsely hyped other scary new COVID variants dozens of times over the past few years.

MV YIMBY's position was that staff should set clearer priorities. Since they can't do everything, they should save time by making more stuff by-right and not micromanaging design review. Then they could at least enact council's direction. That idea went nowhere
