🌞 Good morning #fediverse! This is GBH #News bringing you the world from #Boston. It’s 69F at Logan Airport and visibility is 10mi.
At the #DNC last night in Chicago, the state-by-state roll call of delegate votes was turned into a dance party.
An amphibious tour vehicle (Duck Boat, IKYKYK) rescued a man and his son from the Charles River yesterday.
The US added 818,000 fewer jobs than reported in the 12 months through March. #economy
asking the real questions:
@gbhnews@mastodon.social The only thing Mastodon agrees on even more strongly than the poll I saw the other day about whether you’ve heard of xkcd.
@overholt@glammr.us ooh that one was probably a blowout too
@gbhnews@mastodon.social A mere 92% instead of 94.
@gbhnews@mastodon.social It’s very frustrating that stories reporting the “818,000 fewer jobs” don’t say how many jobs were created in the year April 2023 to March 2024, only giving the numbers for a few specific months. 818,000 sounds like a lot out of context.
One might almost think that the editors of these “news” outlets - including, sadly, WGBH, don’t want to provide the public with information that might be a positive reflection on the Democratic administration.
