Remember when you could actually find the original source for a claim?

I was looking into that old story about the Denver airport murals again, and every single video just shows the same five clips with new voiceovers. Nobody links to the actual city planning documents from 1994 anymore, they just repeat what the last person said. It matters because we can't even debate the facts if we're all just sharing the same second-hand story. I know because I spent two hours digging and finally found the original artist statements in a library archive downtown. Has anyone else tried to track down a primary source lately and hit a wall of reposts?

My cousin once heard a rumor that I was moving to Alaska.

Yeah, it's wild. I just told @stellahayes the truth directly.
