sjh,

Booked solid from 10-6 today. My company switched to a 4 day work week, but kept all of our recurring meetings.

sjh,

Making your own stuff is more fun than ordering delivery and watching TV while you wait for it to get there

Sometimes I wonder if I was watching a different set of events than everyone else that day.

I saw a bunch of people walking through the building like a crowded walking tour. I saw people holding posters and chanting outside. The news anchors were making jokes super lighthearted. I think this was CNN btw.

Then I went to work the next day and people were all freaking out, and everyone had the same term for it: “insurrection.” None of us had heard that term before. I would have called it a protest, or a riot.

A mostly peaceful protest.

sjh,

I would be willing to bet 85% of the living US population had never heard that word before, let alone used it, until the news told them to do so

sjh,

Dang, changing a flag? That’s pretty scary.

I can think of a few other protests/riots that were a lot more violent and dangerous, that occured in a similar time period in the US, that seem to be all but forgotten…

Burning down city centers, looting from small businesses. Murdering people indiscriminately. It’s strange what the online community has fixated on.

How did the post move? I’m saying Jan 6 looked like a peaceful protest, from what I saw on the news.

And definitely much more peaceful than the other protests that occurred around that time (BLM, South Africa riots).

I just don’t understand the vitriol around one vs the other. My point was around perception of an event through the lens of the news. I wasn’t there in person; none of us were.

Everyone is fixated on Jan 6 and not talking about the bigger picture - people were generally mad all around, for lots of different reasons, and all demonstrated publicly. Some were violent, some were not.

But from what I SAW ON THE NEWS, the response to Jan 6 seems disproportionate compared to the others.

What I said in the beginning was serious: I wonder if there was legitimately differring coverage of these events. If there are A/B versions of these big events.

sjh,

See my other reply: sh.itjust.works/comment/7262129

I don’t understand how this comment is the gotcha you are looking for, but if you are legitimately trying to understand my view, maybe this will help.

sjh,

Bring it on tbh

sjh,

Curious: how do they know that? Recorded history is like 5k years right?

sjh,

Yeah I saw some on 4chan recently. Messed me up for a minute

sjh,

Yep, it’s this. They need to increase the limit - my android photos are 3.5mb

sjh,

Thank you! ☺️

sjh,

Baking - fresh warm bread is so good!

Sewing - it's nice to add pockets to things 😁
