This day already included some loud Trent Reznor.
For today, I'm out of words.
For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.
These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20
Rear Window, Hitchcock, and Grace Kelly fashion perfection

(By evidentiary weight **I don't mean legally** - I'm not a lawyer!
I mean for sorting/reporting/clarifying credibility, plausibility, seriousness, verifiability, etc.
I mean for constructing an argument or case in non-legal settings.)
but obviously shows untenable/impossible timeline, or claims that wildly diverge w/body of evidence etc,
like "in 1950 JE broke into my apartment" no he didn't,
or "wikipedia page with random words circled",
well if that person did know anything, they may be incapable of coherent communication.
If anon or unverified info in FBI tiplines resonates w/testimonies from other times/places, it should shift close to center "?"
Not proof but don't dismiss out of hand; warrants investigation.
About - "due diligence" tips: like stuff mailed in w/like random words circled, kept as part of record...
- ******* ? ******* !
Only spectrum you need for sorting evidentiary weight in The Files.
- =incidental/accidental/background/due diligence tip records
(ex: If JE mentions Lincoln, Lincoln's in files but not *implicated*)
? =warrants further investigation
! =evidence, sworn testimony, etc
If you're burned out:
"How to Get to Heaven from Belfast"

Few citizen archivists likely know how to restore a crumbling, delicate page,
or how to preserve an antique tutu,
or how to sort "ephemera."
But I'm so proud of America's archivists I could burst.
They are preserving emergent history with their lives.
Propaganda is cheap.
Courage is authentic.
And before this year? Other archivists too - like footage of George Floyd.

I've understood those ideals better and differently.
We have real-time archivists who are working in between shifts, after school drop-off, between doctor appointments,
to collect, preserve, store, and share material in the blink of an eye.
It's grievous we don't have a historian of excellence to serve as an official archivist.
But the whole point of the US is that we are glued together by common idea,
and honestly in the past year, I've witnessed some of the best this nation has to offer
every time someone embodies those ideals.
So are independent journalists painstakingly sifting the heaviness of the Epstein files.
Members of Congress insisting on visiting detention facilities share oral testimony: walking archives.
Clergy insisting on visiting those in dentention facilities & observing conditions: oral testimony.
Renee Good & her wife insisted on the right of citizens to collect data on those trying to insist surveillance belonged solely to them.
OSINT specialists are another group of honorary national archivists.
So are deportation flight trackers.
Oh we have plenty of archivists this year.
Alex Pretti, for instance, who protected people who were carefully collecting footage.
He protected those documenting & their recordings with his life.
We couldn't ask for more honorable archivists than the people all over the country preserving data.
Right??

Well 1920s were preceded by 1918 pandemic & varying kinds of post-viral syndromes
which sometimes have neuroinflammation symptoms:
-brain fog
-loss of judgment
-depression
-exec dysfunction
-difficulty focusing
so if by glue you mean hefty % of population w/post-viral cognitive symptoms,
yes.
Wow.
So I guess the Beatitudes are just completely off the table.
This just nearly got a spittake from yours truly. Closer to a chortle snort in the end.
