I've had the pleasure of reading this upcoming 5-part @propublica.org series, and i can assure y'all that -- unlike other serialized pieces -- there's no bamboo.
On Dec. 7, we’re taking you to Albany, Georgia, and telling a story as we never have before.
In a new 5-part series, ProPublica’s @gingerthompson.bsky.social pursues one question: “Why are people in Albany so sick when its most powerful institution is a hospital?”

The perfect example of writers coming up with what they think is a mind-blowing ending and then having to backfill their story with spectacular coincidences and utter idiots who don't behave like humans just to make that ending work.
