The pope has condemned clickbait as a “degrading” part of journalism, at a private audience with global newswires.

"I urge you: never sell out your authority"

News agencies deliver a service which “requires competence, courage and a sense of ethics”.

da pope! first affirming migrant rights and now this

(and yes the headline is clickbait-y by design)

You won’t believe what degrading practice the pope just condemned

Communication must be freed from clickbait and misguided thinking, head of Catholic church tells journalists

Happy Amazon Prime Day! Amazon collects mountains of data about how you use the service, but there is a setting you can change to make it harder for the company to use that data to sell you more things. #OptOutOctober www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

What was smart about this set was the use of coconut cream for the lactose people and plantains for the gluten people.

Yes! That's why I had to order this. I saw an article before about how this was the drink of the summer there. But no surprise since Germain has long been known as bartender ketchup.

Gotta archive this stuff someplace and it's definitely not going on zuck or Elon sites.

Truly, leave the non-bakers among us alone. I live in San Francisco. I can walk to a bare minimum of twenty varieties of bread in ten minutes, and they’re all better than mine. Bread is homebrew for the COVID era.

a big thing i learned about myself during covid is that i just want to buy a goddamned baguette from the store or the bakery, i literally never want to make the damned thing myself

There's also a champagne bar where you can "rest" between walking up and down all the floors when shopping.
