Why do you upvote garbage? ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) — Science reduced to mysticism for morons (phys.org, quantamagazine.org, nautil.us) — Angry rants about last week's news (Techdirt) — Gratuitous mentions of Brave browser or Rust lang (tribalism goes brrrr) — Misleading clickbait from decadent 20th century news establishments that threw away their best people and joined the race to the bottom (WaPo and NYT) — Yoink-and-spin secondhand summaries of somebody else's reporting (Verge, Cyberscoop, Gizmodo, Engadget, Wired, etc.) — Fake news (and then the follow-up that says it's fake gets flagged) — Dupes: Reuters and AP stories on Yahoo News fly high while the exact same stories on reuters.com and apnews.com sink like a stone — Super-old stories and Wikipedia articles that keep coming back like Groundhog Day

Technical correctness and public relations are natural enemies. The original material comes from scientists who know what they are doing, but they aren't allowed to write their own press releases. For scientific papers, the scientists are already encumbered by layers of review that make it difficult to meet deadlines for publishing.

Yeah, they forgot regime change: remove leaders who are actively thwarting reform.

After the novelty wears off, it'll be interesting to find out whether a normal number of holes is a requirement for porn star success.
