Link Me Up, Scotty - Eat My Crowd Size Edition

Thursday, January 26, 2017

Because I'm feeling more than a little distressed about events of the last week, here's an article describing how crowd scientists estimate the number of people who attended the President's inauguration compared to the number of people who attended the Women's March on Washington. Here's another from The Atlantic with an HD photographic fact-check.

Let me be clear. I don't give a good goddamn how many people attended the inauguration. I'm a little more interested in the Women's March because I had so many friends and acquaintances who went. What I'm really interested in is the truth. Lie in public? Be prepared to be fact-checked and called out. "Alt-facts" only stand if we let them.
