Hard to believe how many times @Newsweek has had to put out corrections. A thread.
So many corrections.
Corrections galore.
At this point, we can assume more Newsweek tweets are wrong than right.
Sensing a pattern here.
All of a sudden, corrected tweets jump back three years. I have a feeling we missed a large number of corrections during that time.
But they're back to being a regular feature, regardless of how many we missed.
And by "regular feature," I mean really regular.
Really, really regular.
Nothing like a blue check news organization being corrected by no-name Twitter randos.
You could almost set your clock based on the number of times Newsweek has had to correct its reporting.
So very many corrections.
Almost too many to count.
If only we could power our electric grid with Newsweek corrections.
The corrections just keep coming.
There's more; I just got tired of screen-shotting them all.

The Philippines allowed China to help them build and operate their power grid. Now China is in full control, and can kill power to the entire country whenever they want. Imagine governing a country with that hanging over your head. No wonder Duterte suddenly went anti-U.S.
Here's more on how China controls the Philippine power grid. China doesn't have to say a thing to get the Philippines to cooperate. It's unwritten, unspoken: "It's nice having electricity. I'd be a shame if you didn't support China 100%." cnn.com/2019/11/25/asi…
And it's working. The Philippines is predominately using China's high-priced Sinovac vaccine even though its efficacy rate is terrible. There's a corruption scandal there right now for failing to procure Pfizer, which is cheaper and far more effective. news.abs-cbn.com/news/01/19/21/…

This man has now signed at least 27 executive orders in just over 24 hours as the most powerful man on Earth.
He can't keep it up, of course, but he's on pace for 39,447 executive orders signed in just four years. For a comparison, Donald Trump signed 220 in four years.
He's got so many executive orders lined up he has a whole box of pens so he doesn't run out of ink.

In one month, COVID-19 cases will be near rock bottom and plummeting. After Biden's first 100 days' mask mandate, the pandemic will be in the rear-view mirror. After that, life will return to normal. Not because of any measures taken, but because the measurements were changed.
We've gone from anything triggering a positive test no matter if you have symptoms or not to needing to double verify tests and exhibit symptoms in order to pop positive. This will decimate positive cases almost instantly. And with this you can bet deaths change criteria as well.
The media will breathlessly report all the positive change and attribute it to Biden's "much better approach at dealing with it," and point to his mask mandate as evidence it should have been done long ago, even when many states such as CA have had mandates since last spring.

Perception of risk affects behavior far more than actual risk. We perceive flying to be a greater risk than driving, even if similar per capita. Because of media bombardment, we now perceive COVID to be exponentially deadlier than the common flu, which is turning out to be false.
How would we feel if the media was constantly blasting us information about everyone who got the flu during flu season, and breathlessly counted all the deaths day by day? There are tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of people who die from it every year.
What kind of mass panic would it cause? What kind of long-lasting hysteria would be formed if the media reported yearly on the flu the way they do on COVID?

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that the USPS is suddenly "collapsing and in danger" right as violent rioting is starting to fade, which happened right after the coronavirus outbreak had started to fade in the hardest hit areas.
The Democrats and media are suddenly pushing this hard. We're seeing all these new reports and articles saying it's on the brink of collapse. And naturally, it's all the fault of Orange Man Bad.
And yes, stuff we order isn't getting delivered. But everything else is. Bills sure still come on time. Junk mail is still as ubiquitous as always. But the stuff you ordered from somewhere gets shipped out, travels almost to its destination, and then sits at the closest hub.

In this "new normal" of our brave new world, dining out had all the perks of before—tables, chairs, napkins—but with the added refinements of asphalt flooring, dank concrete ambiance, and the smell of carbon monoxide exhaust fumes. Perfect for a family outing.
Just when she thought the "new normal" couldn't get worse, it got better. Gone were the masks, the face shields, the bandannas. In their place was a simple dog cone. It was so much more comfortable. The only downside was that she couldn't lick her own ass anymore.
The air inside the small plastic enclosures was stifling. It smelled strongly of Yellow Number Two and baby powder-covered sweat. The math problems jumped around on the page. At least the mask hides most of my crying, he thought, glancing at the clock. It seemed to tick backward.
