Finished *Point B* by @drewmagary.bsky.social and one character scoffs that the beautiful fescue lawns at this school were about to be overrun by crabgrass - at the time I had a lovely fescue lawn … that’s now all crabgrass
How did he know?? What is this deep lawn lore I need to know
![Independent journalist Ken Klippenstein was just bustin’ with pride over his March 28 story: “New Rubio order (leaked to me) directs the State Department to spy on student visa holders and applicants [on] social media,” he posted on Bluesky and X. He got the buzz that he wanted with thousands of reposts, and presumably a traffic boost to his $100-a-year site.
If you had a sense of déjà lu, it’s probably because you’d already read this piece, titled “State Dept. demands ‘enhanced’ social media vetting of student visa applicants,” by Marisa Kabas, another independent journalist. Her story ran a full two days before Klippenstein’s. (And Kabas’s version was more authoritative and better-written.)
I reached out to Klippenstein via email, Signal, and social media, but he didn’t respond. Maybe at some point he will (leak his response to me).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ejihld4sywvvqwe67cdkn4jq/bafkreic2rysbe455afrbwslsw2n2bpzv6u4cxc4cqs5v4afl6vfo6w5d5i)
