... or it just has a severe bug.

Many people are complaining, see here on The Register:

theregister.com/2025/01/02/sca

Or see this thread on Microsoft's community forum (recent comments):

That is insane.

Workaround/Fix: Switch to #Linux, or at least use #SANE under #WSL (NOTE: Command line use required). Or wipe machine and install #Windows10.

#Trump, who plans to visit AZ on Thurs, amplified the #ConspiracyTheory / #lie at an #ABC News #debate on Tues, despite police telling local news that there was NO evidence of ANYONE eating #pets.

In a news release, the #Arizona #GOP said the billboards are “a humorous, but sobering reminder of the stakes involved in the fight for secure borders & safe communities.”[if the stakes they’re referring to are putting a #racist #deranged #criminal in the WH vs a #sane #brilliant #law abiding #Harris]

I was reading #Parker #Malloy’s latest piece in The New Republic
Her argument is familiar to those of us who have been critical of the Washington press corps’ coverage of Donald Trump,
especially its practice of ➡️ making his habitual incoherence seem coherent.
Most important is Parker’s introduction to a wider audience of #Aaron #Rupar’s term to describe that practice.
It’s “#sane-#washing.”
Here’s Parker:
⭐️This “#sanewashing” of Trump’s statements isn’t just poor journalism;
it’s a form of #misinformation that 💥poses a threat to democracy.

By continually reframing Trump’s incoherent and often dangerous rhetoric as conventional political discourse, ❌major news outlets are failing in their duty to inform the public and are instead providing cover for increasingly erratic behavior from a former — and potentially future — president.

⭐️The consequences of this journalistic malpractice extend far beyond misleading headlines.

By laundering Trump’s words in this fashion, 💥the media is actively participating in the erosion of our shared reality.
🆘When major news outlets consistently present a polished version of Trump’s statements, they create an alternate narrative that exists alongside the unfiltered truth available on social media and in unedited footage

The mainstream media’s “#fact-#checking” of the Democratic National Convention was
⭐️ rightly ridiculed for an obsession with semantics and pedantic nitpicking,
but the result was more than just annoying.

Many of the purported “fact-checks” go beyond verifying Democrats’ statements and instead serve as political spin for Trump,
giving him an unearned benefit of the doubt that almost ignores he actually was president and has an established #record of #deceit and malicious #incompetence.

The error that fact-checkers consistently make is taking Trump’s assertions and denials at face value.

They still treat the convicted felon like someone who operates in good faith, which often results in wish-casting and the “#sane-#washing” of Trump’s blather.

Democrats, meanwhile, are held to an impossibly literal standard where routine exaggerations and rhetorical flourishes are treated like whoppers.

Trump’s statements are decontextualized, while those from Democrats are relentlessly scrutinized.

The impact is a proliferation of false equivalencies that normalize Republican liars.
