Imagine dialing 911 and the operator says "Nine Eleven, what's your emergency?"

Haha thank you I couldn't figure out what 9/11 had to do with all this
I've noticed it being written like 9/11 instead of 911 a lot lately. Is this how it's supposed to be or what has happened that's making people add the slash now..
No, these are people who are either incredibly dumb or have somehow never seen anyone write "911" down but have heard somone joking about "dialing nine eleven"
The emergency phone number has always been written as 911. I have no idea why people are writing a phone number as a date suddenly.
It has always been 9/11 because it is a date. Some people use 911, but this can be confused for the emergency services phone number (also 911)
That's the thing. I'm pretty sure OP meant 911, not 9/11.
In the original post? Yeah, they meant 911 (the phone number)
In this case they WERE referring to the phone number.
Well...yeah, it's what they meant, but how many phone numbers do you know of that have forward slashes?
Might be an autocorrect thing though depending on the phone
You know, that's a really good point! It probably has something to do with autocorrect.
PBS Newshour is legit.
Love PBS Newshour.
Also love the effort they put into making sure everyone can access the program.
Full episodes on YouTube the day of and they also livestream the episodes on YouTube as they air.
I don't know what's going on. Someone explain it to me?
The photo has two individuals in it. The interviewer is on the left, Amna Nawaz, and RFK Jr is responding to a question by asking one of his own, “does everyone in your family agree with you?” Amna’s response is to reply that, “I think that they’d vote for me if I ran for president.”
RFK Jr family has come out against his presidential campaign. I believe they have aligned with the Biden campaign.
The burn here implies that: if you can’t even get your own family votes, how can you expect to get American voters?
Edit: clarification of people
Don't fuck with Amna Nawaz.
She has quickly risen to be one of my S-Tier journalists.
I remember when Judy Woodruff was still the anchor during Jan 6th, she was just beside herself saying "there was no way we could have known!" Cue Amna Nawaz with "We did know. He told us, many times" as she proceeds to list several examples.
So happy to see her take over. Bless you, Amna.
I remember that! I've been really impressed with her often on-the-ground reporting both in places like the southern border where she humanizes many of the migrants, and especially her work in Gaza.
She and Nick Schifrin are doing real work.
Lisa Desjardins (sp?) is also incredible.
Absolutely. Her steadfast reporting at Congress over the years has been awesome. Really, the whole team is top notch and I'd be proud to work with any of them.
