Why Google Search is Falling Apart.
  • Not quite. It’s largely because a manager decided that an important metric for Google to be better at was “how much time users spend on the results page” which turns out you can game by just making the results worse so users have to stay there longer. Management made a decision to focus on metrics that are counter to what users would actually want because… well, here’s a better article that explains it:

    https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/

  • Gavin Newsom vetoes sweeping AI safety bill, siding with Silicon Valley
  • It’s funny this guy is absolutely gonna try to run for president in 2028 and whoever the republicans manage to put up is just gonna have to say “Commiefornia” and it’ll completely obliterate his run despite him basically being a diet republican anyway.

  • Not Reporting on Trump as a Threat to Democracy Is Also a Threat to Democracy
  • Yeah, but if the media accurately depicted Trump as a deeply unserious candidate with absolutely no idea how to run anything, you might stop watching the news to see who is ahead, and don’t their ability to sell ads via a horse race narrative matter more than your silly country and life?

  • BREAKING NEWS! crack dealers free by daddy
  • Really burying the lede that most of these people were already out of prison and Biden was just wiping their records since they’d been good after leaving prison.

    But that’s not as fun as JOE BIDEN PERSONALLY SENT MURDEROUS DRUG DEALERS TO YOUR GRANDMAS HOUSE.

  • Trump-backed Senate candidate faces scrutiny for derogatory comments about Native Americans
  • This won’t make a significant difference in the race. Anyone who was going to vote for Sheehy will read this as “saying what they all know to be true” and anyone who wasn’t going to vote for him will continue to not do so.

  • Libertarian Sid Daoud might be an election spoiler. He doesn't care.
  • The Montana Republican Party paid for the Greens to gather signatures in 2020 to help them try to spoil Dem votes, so this is nothing new for Montana. The republicans there are known for funding spoiler candidates and those candidates are just happy to be getting money at all.

  • Trump's RNC speech was divisive, but front pages of mainstream media claimed it was “unifying” and “healing”
  • It’s not really a coincidence that mainstream media (even the alleged liberal media) constantly covers for and actively rehabs the image of Trump and also happens to be entirely owned by billionaires who would stand to gain a lot from Trump cutting their taxes and eliminating the regulatory apparatus of the country.

  • Israel's Knesset passes bill rejecting Palestinian statehood
  • Again, the crux of your arguement is “Russia is not claiming Ukraine” and your support for this is actions taken in the past that are no longer relevant as they have been superseded by more recent activity.

    You are basically arguing that Germany promised not to invade anyone else if they just got the Sudetenland while being fully aware that the rest of WWII happened. It doesn’t matter in the slightest that Russia totally said they love independent areas when again, their army is parked there and they passed a more recent law saying that territory is theirs. This is just bad faith arguing on behalf of an actor who very much does whatever benefits them at that exact second.

  • Israel's Knesset passes bill rejecting Palestinian statehood
  • Not only is this article 2 years old, it predates the entire invasion. You cannot possibly think this fact matters in the slightest right now, in the context that Russia parked their army in that territory and said “lol this is actually our land now.”

  • New app releases for Apple Vision Pro have fallen dramatically since launch
  • Tim was probably on the way out sooner rather than later anyway, but I don’t think the larger problem with the Vision Pro is that the Venn diagram of people who think it’s cool and people who can afford it is way, way too small.

  • Ford 'revives' the Capri after 30 years as a four-door EV
  • Ford is the worst offender (and more specifically the one who does electric SUVs) but the Mitsubishi Eclipse and Dodge Hornet are gas/hybrid SUVs that reused nameplates from sportier coupes on an SUV. I suspect the Honda Prologue might’ve been the Prelude at some point but that’s just a guess. At least that one didn’t get a reused name.
