Feels like the OP was just applying Occam’s Razor here, rather gaslighty to call it conspiratorial mansplaining
"I'm a rando who prefers to believe that everything is a conspiracy and am happy to tell women that I know better than she does how their literal job works" That a news org makes an editorial decision you wouldn't (or I wouldn't) doesn't mean someone is killing a story on behalf of a powerful person
"I write for the New York Times, and I can assure you that we've never buried stories on behalf of powerful people, many of those powerful people being part of NYT management. We only publish what's fit to print, like Zohran's application to Columbia that was leaked by a white nationalist"

Zohran Mamdani is not the future of the Democratic party, some guy who 95% of people couldn't pick out of a lineup and the other 5% don't like him is

I do weird grocery budget accounting because I'm a dork and my mom taught me to do so growing up and my groceries were up 16% total this week compared to the last time I bought each item, with the oldest item on the list from 5 weeks ago
Incredibly glad I stocked up on meats in my freezer

All of Taylor's worst faults, her inability to talk about adult topics without sounding ridiculous, her tissue paper skin, her try-hard attempts at Lana Del Reyisms, her not-mad-laughing-actually disses, the boring musical aesthetic, her fading ability to write hooks, all on full display. Atrocious.

For edification, the reason why "AI enhancement" of images doesn't work is that it is synthetically generating information that *wasn't present* in the original image. You can't fabricate synthetic information and then use it as "evidence" for analysis and identification of aspects of the real world
The replies on X to the FBI's call for help IDing the Charlie Kirk shooting suspect is made up mainly of people either blaming trans people or doing shitty internet detective work. Also lots of terrible attempts to use LLMs to enhance the images.
