I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.

Man it must be hard to be as stupid as the person in the screenshot
gold medal probably goes to “Heated Rivalry is a sapphic romance because it is both sexy AND romantic and wholesome and caring, something that could only be written by a woman”. bioessentialist stereotyping of women as inherently caring AND of irl gay male sexuality as devoid of any romance

Mamdani: *swears in on Quran*

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

This is actually one of the core issues with American society. We advocate so much for “free speech” and “everyone having an opinion” that we end up valuing the reactions of Joe Shmoe equally with the testimony of experts
