Mozilla Pocket - lost a lot of confidence in it today!

It was touting a boingboing article that was spreading this myth:

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/octopus-dna-origins/

So whuda thought a site named boing boing was not a good source of news?

I saw that. Frankly, I don't trust anything I didn't chase down and kill myself.

Have you ever tried chasing down a fart?? Because I am pretty sure it's dead on departure.

At the same time that the internet has opened vast amounts of information that we didn't have easy access to before it has also opened a cesspool of misinformation and outright lies.......................because it can.

I shared that article as 'not proof but an interesting read'

So what's it got to do with Mozilla Pocket. I must hit that button occasionally at the right end of the URL box in Firefox because I'll rarely save a page to pocket only to find I've got a few other things there.

They recommended it.  It was total trash.

I read this as "mozzarella pocket".  

I was thinking it was a low carb pita pocket.  You can put your lunch meat in a little pocket of mozz!  I think I am going to market this idea.

Sounds like I'm glad I have no idea what Mozilla Pocket is.
