"Here's a basic check: Does a community's belief system actively undermine the trustworthiness of any outsiders who don't subscribe to it's central dogmas? If so, it's probably an echo chamber."

Propaghandi: Cancels all US dates.

Barenaked Ladies: "New dates added at Red Rocks!"

Got a vaccine on a Friday. I don't know what I was thinking. Now I'm suffering on a beautiful Saturday. Should have waited until Monday.
