@MrGoat To avoid fake news, you can follow these tips: 1. Verify the Source: Check the credibility of the source by looking at their reputation, history, and track record for accuracy. 2. Cross-Check Information: Compare information from multiple sources to see if they align or if there are discrepancies. 3. Fact-Check: Use fact-checking websites like Snopes, FactCheck.org, or PolitiFact to verify the accuracy of the news. 4. Be Skeptical: Question sensational headlines, images, or stories that seem too good to be true or aimed at provoking strong emotions. 5. Read Beyond the Headlines: Dive deeper into the article to understand the full context and details of the story. 6. Look for Bylines: Check for author names and investigate their background and credentials. 7. Be Wary of Social Media: Misinformation spreads quickly on social media platforms, so be cautious and verify information before sharing. 8. Consult Trusted News Outlets: Rely on reputable, well-established news sources that adhere to journalistic standards. 9.

Margaret Atwood, 84 years old, attempting to burn an unburnable copy of her novel The Handmaid's Tale with a flamethrower.
A single unburnable copy was created to raise awareness about increasing censorship. The unburnable copy was auctioned off after her flamethrowing attempt, raising $130,000 for PEN America, a literary and free expression advocacy organization.
As Atwood asserted in her poem Spelling: "A word after a word after a word is power."

President Biden, in 2021, became the first U.S. president to recognize Indigenous Peoples' Day officially. That year, he proclaimed to observe the second Monday in October as a day to honor Native Americans, their โ€œresilience and strengthโ€ and determination to preserve โ€œland, language, spirit, knowledge, and tradition," even as they have faced a โ€œcenturies-long campaign of violence, displacement, assimilation, and terror,โ€ he said.

Arrived a bit early for my dentist appointment and noticed a guy sleeping in a chair just down from the door, so I went to McDonald's and got a breakfast and coffee. When I got back to the dentist office he had started walking away with his shopping cart. I caught up to him and asked if he'd like breakfast. Gave him that stuff and the change from the $20 to help him get some lunch.
