I looked up the last earthquake in Illinois and found something funny.

9. The remarks say "possible quarry blast" but when you go to look at the site

you see that it's a pretty obvious quarry blast, being at the site of a quarry.

10. I don't post the links to the Gallup polls because

I want to separate the people who actually want to know what the number is (and it's easy enough to find) from the people who just want to make it look like I'm lying about it (of whose opinion on this I care fuck all about because they care so little about the facts that they won't even try to look). It's the same "statement of assessment/prescription" vs. "statement of manipulation" distinction that I made in the long post on Sunday. The people who want to make the former look it up, the people who are here to make the latter seize the opportunity to attack my credibility.

Also, journalists functioned for decades without http links.
