TRENDING ON SOCIAL MEDIA THIS FINE THURSDAY

Many of us are not on social media but we often get to hear about it...and are sometimes sent screenshots.....

CRAZY WEEK AS WE NEAR THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR---but the online conversation is much the same--and so much more--interesting meeting last night--more on that later---and now in no particular order:

*****Bots bots everywhere a bot---it is what it is....

*****AI--GOTTA ADMIT IT, a lot of folks are finding it pretty useful--8 times out of 10---Google AI in particular and THE NEW CROTON.NEWS AI SITE

*****FAUCI AND COMPANY AND MORENS GUILTY PLEA: PEOPLE ARE NOT HAPPY----Again, we'll stick with articles and avoid the chatter---which understandably segues into the four-letter world. Check out

EverythingCroton: DASZAK, MORENS, FAUCI IN THE NEWS....

AND THANK YOU RED PAPYRUS FOR THIS ONE: What Did Fauci Mean by “Game On?”

AND THE GREAT ALEX BERENSON AND EMILY KOPP; these two courageous journalists bucked the Covid narrative early on; there's a lot of chatter about assorted revelations in their recent podcast from a few weeks ago but you should really see it yourself EverythingCroton: THAT PODCAST--THE GREAT ALEX BERENSON AND EMILY KOPP TALK COVID, LAB LEAKS, AND TONY FAUCI

There's also what appears to be near-desperation to justify everything from vaccines to lockdowns. You'll have no trouble finding this on your own.

8/25 planning board meeting still seems to be on---we'll know soon enough if the Cortese site will be on the agenda; you may find these info links/documents useful for the meeting: EverythingCroton: OF POSSIBLE USE FOR FUTURE MEETINGS--HARMON MULTIFAMILY/AFFORDABLE HOUSING/ RENTALS, CONDOS, WHATEVER IN THE CROTON POINT/HARMON/SOUTH RIVERSIDE AREA

There's some downright funny--sometimes painful----and clever--memes, cartoons and new names for the village that you'll have no trouble finding on your own--though it very much depends on the page and the sensibilities of the administrator.

One poster wrote extensively about the "incestuous nature of Croton politics"; very clever but it was deleted; copies are supposedly floating around however.

****Lots of talk about exactly who is running the Jaffery campaign; that people who oppose the "Croton Democrats choice" are actually racist....yada yada yada......some words used to describe the jettisoning of Sam Watkins are "despicable", "shameful" , "brutish"...."ageist".......but nothing has changed........and Jaffery remains on the ticket.....

DASZAK, MORENS, FAUCI IN THE NEWS....

A British zoologist involved in risky bat coronavirus experiments in Wuhan is accused of plotting with a senior US health official to shut down the theory that Covid-19 leaked from a lab.

Dr Peter Daszak, the former president of EcoHealth Alliance, sent bottles of wine to David Morens, thanking him for his “behind the scenes shenanigans” and promising further gifts, such as dinners at Michelin-starred restaurants, US court documents state.

ETHICS ALARMS -- THAT MEDIAN STRATEGIES "EXPERIMENT"--JACK MARSHALL

This tears it for me, I think. I’m not paying attention to any polls from anyone or anywhere, ever.

I don’t know why anyone ever would, except, well, you know. Most people are stupid and gullible with flat learning curves, and our political parties and the news media depend on it.

A supposed polling organization called Median Strategies released a poll before the Wisconsin gubernatorial race that showed Democratic Socialist whack job Francesca Hong with a lead of more than 20 percentage points. Hong lost, and it wasn’t all that close either. Another Median Strategies poll this month showed Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass leading City Councilwoman Nithya Raman by nearly 12 percentage points ahead of the November mayoral runoff. Bass was apparently ecstatic, declaring on social media, “Doing the work, showing up, and gaining momentum. Let’s do this, LA!”

On Monday, the company acknowledged on its website that it had produced the fake polls as a”short-term social experiment examining how purported polling information could enter and spread through the political information ecosystem without independent verification.”

Oh! That’s all right then! No, it’s not, and I don’t care what the alleged justification for releasing fake polls was. The incident proves one thing, and one thing only: we can’t trust polling organizations, we can’t trust polls, we can’t trust the news stories that cite polls (Trump’s support among Hispanics drops 50!” was a headline this week…I bet they polled illegal immigrants).....MORE AT The Median Strategies “Experiment” | Ethics Alarms
