We've been doing these short stories about small towns in each of the votes through this competition, but I'm glad I was able to spend more time on this one — these regional trends across multiple cities take time to report on, but are important to do
google is so committed to privacy that they blurred the face of the sasquatch sitting at the harrison hot springs welcome sign
thinking about this more
is google being respectful of the sasquatch's privacy
or this is another BIGFOOT COVER UP BY BIG TECH
i've done some deep investigative journalism and the evidence is clear: google has engaged in a years long campaign to obscure the fact a sasquatch lives in harrison hot springs
