Not like those crappy articles you read these days, where they pose a click bait title, waffle on in the general area, make a relevant one liner, and then spend 3 paragraphs discussing related but not on topic areas
(grrrr!)
The Mystery of the Bloomfield Bridge

@leadegroot
AMEN!!! 🙌🙌

NO pop-up ads, and those *AMAZING* embedded notes!!! 💚

I kinda figured that (spoiler) would be the answer, but I'm glad I got to take that journalistic journey with him! I'm about to email him to ask him to join #Mastodon...and to tell him that he'd make an *exceptional* Congressional reporter. Although it looks like his "Spurious Correlations" probably keeps him busy!

Spurious correlations

@leadegroot tenacious researcher. fascinating read.
@leadegroot I read the whole thing, riveted. I've done some of my own similar research, and that feeling of finally using the correct "open sesame" phrase and finding the answer is amazing. And the advice on searching for people for motive is so valuable in history and the present. Loved this, thank you for sharing!
