☘️ I'm wearing green shoes in this St. Patrick's Day photo from 15 years ago, but the important green here is the palm trees. Fox News had just shown footage of what they claimed was a violent protest in snowy Wisconsin, but it was a location with palm trees and no snow.

They've been blatantly lying like this for 15 years, up to and including #AbolishICE protests, and people believe them.

This is way more problematic than deepfake AI photos of celebrities.

(2/2) As suspected, February is #1 for non-literary references.

I was surprised to see October with such a strong showing, though it is the April of the Southern Hemisphere.

(The preceding was originally written as a "Facebook Note" in 2011, 15 years ago today. These days the numbers are probably different, with bonus AI-hallucinated months.)

📅 I took Ze Googglez out for a spin, to look up 12 variants of "_____ is the cruelest month" and this is how it turned out:

Jan: 12,300
Feb: 28,400
Mar: 8,100
Apr: 740,000
May: 6,570
Jun: 7,330
Jul: 3,140
Aug: 18,500
Sep: 11,500
Oct: 19,200
Nov: 9,190
Dec: 13,500

Unsurprisingly, April is #1 because of that poem, though online a lot of people quote the poem and then mention another month as being crueler -- but this search doesn't quite go that far. (1/2)

Well, #maga freaks, your senile king and his court of psychos have decided to double down and put his big fat foot on the gas pedal to take you and your kids as fast as possible to climate hell. He will be ok, of course, at his age he won't live through the worst of it and his fortune will yield a comfortable shield for him and his family.

🖖 _Starfleet Academy_ was so good last week, I'm almost afraid to watch this week's episode.
