You laugh. But Joe Rogan was also a game show host. And I think he is the next president of the United States. Or at least a strong 26% of it. Most other people are just trying to find potable water.
H2O. You think that’s real? Bro?

The people who have been treating "Born in the USA" as a patriotic anthem for 40+ years shouldn't really be complaining about song lyrics they can't understand.

If only giant networks could hire people who can understand Spanish. Of whom there is no shortage.
Alford: "On Bad Bunny - we're still investigating. There's info out about the lyrics. I don't speak fluent Spanish, but if it's true what was said on natl TV, we have a lot of Qs for entities that broadcast it & we'll be talking w/ the FCC. This could be worse than the Janet wardrobe malfunction"

I have NEVER seen large news outlets more disconnected from reality.
And I witnessed the rise of Reagan/Clinton & the run up to the invasion of Iraq.
It’s incredibly dangerous. 100’s of thousands r going to die. Maybe millions.
And that’s not including the climate wall we’re going to hit in 2027.

Once the corps and oligarchs 100% took the news mass media it was really game over wasn’t it?
Reagan killed the fairness doctrine. Clinton & Repubs then scrapped rules prohibiting media consolidation. Followed by 25 yrs of mergers, hiring careerists & firing real journalists and here we are.

autonomous delivery robots pushed into canals absolutely should not be humanized it's 50s SF brainrot gibberish to do so as a journalist
It's not just that. When I read the two snippets you posted, the writer makes the robot sound humanoid rather than like a piece of tech. They use the word injured instead of damaged. Just, everything they wrote feels like the robot is a lil guy getting picked on.
