I live in Portland, OR. Whenever I talk to my mum in New England she asks me about the terrible riots and murder-death-kill happening all around me. I tell her it's one side of one block in downtown, one night a week, when both the Patriot Prayer MAGAs and the news cameras show up at the same time, and hasn't happened at all for like a couple of years. Finally she gets frustrated with me and says "you're the only person I know who says that." I reply, "I'm the only person you know who lives here."

@pieist @rudyschwartz@dobbs.town @freemo There are live traffic cameras in all major US cities that are viewable online. I don't understand why people don't fact-check some of these alarmist stories by just looking at the live camera views.

After a while it gets to be easy to spot when people believe things on the basis of wanting to believe them rather than having reasons to.
