@CamSpradling Maybe part of it is not wanting to believe. It’s so much easier if the unspeakably terrible thing didn’t happen. Also, thinking rationally takes deliberate effort; thinking emotionally happens without effort.
@Grants_Pass@OHPAlerts They wouldn’t send out an alert like this if they didn’t have reason to believe she was truly in danger. (I’m assuming, but otherwise we’d be getting alerts all the time, right?)
@JenniferJoyOK@ThriceSavage@GregoryHardinII No. Is this easier to understand? “Consider what happened in ‘91 before reporting on this—not because you might think twice about reporting on it at all, but because doing so could result in better, more respondible reporting.”
@NMIHarris@space_Amy That’s great advice—giving yourself more than one metric by which to measure success at a tournament or over a given period of time.
@GreenHope42@space_Amy But assuming she not @chesscom but rather OTB: If only! I play much better when I’m so outmatched there’s no pressure to win. But when I play a little kid rated within a couple hundred points of me? Sheer terror 😳
@jmwender @photojournalism Question about a photo caption in today’s (excellent) article about Autherine Lucy. Re: “To the right of her,” is this how @nytimes indicates a person to the reader’s right?
