Looking like the police are sure, but then, these are TN cops and they're hardly unbiased.
robinrahne 9:29pm
Yup.
robinrahne 9:30pm
Also, confusing. Some people are saying trans-male, and some saying trans-female.
earldebuke 9:30pm
If believed, there hadn't been a name change yet, legally.
shadylady 9:32pm
Ok, so....
earldebuke 9:33pm
Yes. Sorry.
shadylady 9:34pm
Give it a day or two, look for a solid source. I promise you from simulations I've been in, when a situation is happening you can't get realtime info even if you're in the Emergency Operations Center.
robinrahne 9:34pm
Yup. I'm waiting for reliable sources and time.
earldebuke 9:35pm
Best way true
shadylady 9:37pm
Today it's super tempting and even expected to know RIGHT AWAY... but.
robinrahne 9:38pm
Yeah. The concept of the "scoop" was the worst thing in journalism.
robinrahne 9:38pm
Absolutely killed proper fact-checking process.
shadylady 9:41pm
I'd like to stand up for journalism but it has a pretty checkered past....
robinrahne 9:41pm
YA THINK? chuckle
earldebuke 9:42pm
It did
shadylady 9:42pm
My bad.
shadylady 9:43pm
I mean.... there IS a code of ethics now so... progress? Kinda?
earldebuke 9:43pm
I'd offer to game you ladies but I'm not feeling it right now , sorry
robinrahne 9:44pm
No, I'm with you, Mr. D
robinrahne 9:44pm
robinrahne 9:44pm
More careful treatment of the gender ambiguity.
robinrahne 9:45pm
And yes, journalistic code of ethics exists, but it's...bendy.
earldebuke 9:46pm
I might add major corporations owning so many media sources doesn't help
shadylady 9:47pm
THANK you.
robinrahne 9:49pm
YES.
shadylady 9:49pm
We all just flashed back to the West Wing ep, right?
earldebuke 9:49pm
Oh yeah
robinrahne 9:49pm
Ha!
robinrahne 9:50pm
Funny thing...I just finished watching Wag the Dog. Similar topic.
robinrahne 9:51pm
(Manipulation of journalism, not school shooting.)
shadylady 9:51pm
SO TRUE.
shadylady 9:51pm
I love that movie for all the wrong reasons.
earldebuke 9:51pm
I never saw it. Is it good?
shadylady 9:51pm
Solid yes.
robinrahne 9:52pm
It's amazing. Funny and horrifying by turns.
earldebuke 9:52pm
Will see if I can find it sometime
earldebuke 9:52pm
I'm closing up early tonight. Hugs
shadylady 9:54pm
Take care, D.
earldebuke 9:54pm
Hope you get your water back ASAP, Shady
shadylady 9:54pm
I had to extract a splinter from Thing2 tonight. It was not pretty.
earldebuke 9:54pm
And you'll get that paper read out fine , Rahne
earldebuke 9:54pm
HUGS both, and fades into the mist
robinrahne 9:55pm
G'night, Mr. D. HUGS
robinrahne 9:55pm
You are splinter-bane!
robinrahne 9:56pm
It was a bad one, huh?
shadylady 9:56pm
He -said- he noticed it in school today.
shadylady 9:57pm
That shit was infected pretty ok. Not, like, doctor worthy yet but... some build up.
shadylady 9:57pm
So I had to dig it out and disinfect and that's no fun.
robinrahne 9:59pm
WINCE
robinrahne 9:59pm
Poor guy.
