TooSoon , in Elon Musk to strip headlines off news links on Twitter in latest overhaul

Well shoot, I actually like that. Never thought I’d see the day.

wagoner ,

Why?

TooSoon ,

Lowers the incentive for using outlandish, misleading headlines.

Forces people to click the link and go to the news outlets’ websites thereby giving local news better ad revenue.

Increases chances of people actually reading the article instead of making assumptions based on misleading titles.

Maybe I’m missing something but this seems like a good thing to me.

wagoner ,

I feel it actually creates an incentive for the tweeter to create their own outlandish and missing headline. So it’s even worse. Plus it will be harder to determine if you’ve already read the article as the description is likely to be different most times when you see the article posted by different people.

TooSoon ,

Even if they do, the actual title is just a click away.

And I agree that it would make things less convenient, but honestly I absolutely hate news articles on social media because the algorithms literally mostly show you what they know you’ll find controversial. I believe that’s had a giant role with the radicalization of people over the last several years. So if it’s inconvenient, good! People shouldn’t really be getting their news from social media anyway.

money_loo , in South Carolina's new all-male highest court reverses course on abortion, upholding strict 6-week ban

Writing for the new majority, Justice John Kittredge acknowledged that the 2023 law also infringes on “a woman’s right of privacy and bodily autonomy,” but said the state Legislature reasonably determined this time around that those interests don’t outweigh “the interest of the unborn child to live.”

Bro wut

“We are taking away woman’s rights and we are ok with that.”

The second that woman needs help from the government for her baby, the republicans will be up in arms. I will NEVER LIVE IN A RED STATE

It’ll never stop.

RaincoatsGeorge ,

Let them slowly out themselves one by one. Each and every time they get reamed by PD or the FBI. All the j6 losers have been getting wrecked in court. Keep it coming.

We are stuck having to deal with these rejects, the very least we can hope for is that they continue to fuck up at literally anything they try to do and get nailed to the wall by the justice system.

You said not to disturb you, unless it’s Mr. shadow, and it’s Mr. shadow.

Color me shocked. May as well make it a 1 day limit, then again their rich friends will be able to get abortions in time this way.

labrat55 , in Newest "anti-woke" tantrum: Right-wingers don't think kids of different races can be friends

How about a less biased source? I don’t think salon could say something positive about a conservative parent if they wanted to…

DragonTypeWyvern , (edited )

What’s there to say? There’s a reasonable, economically conservative party in America, and it’s called the Democratic Party.

Nice comment to break your Lemmy cherry on btw. Defending an outright segregationist, if you had read the article.

labrat55 ,

Hey thanks! It’s great to be here.

I think it’s important to exercise some intellectual humility and be open to other sources and be willing to question information that we agree with if it’s coming from a single source - especially if that source has an open bias.

CmdrShepard ,

Are you claiming they didn’t quote them accurately or that they didn’t spin the story to make racists look like the good guys?

labrat55 ,

We don’t know what we don’t know - I would begin with a less biased source or include two sources with contrary biases.

MrFlamey , in Sam Bankman-Fried living on bread and water because jail won't abide vegan diet, lawyer says

They should get him those vegan meals the airlines have in economy class. That would work, no? Vegan enough for him to eat, but not enjoy.

FrankTheHealer ,

Absolutely the Best solution

Honytawk ,

Airplane meals aren’t really that bad.

It is just that at that altitude, the pressure causes your taste to work worse than on the ground.

So I’m afraid it wouldn’t really be a punishment.

bcore ,

Honestly, as a vegetarian myself (not vegan though), lots of airlines these days have a single meal that satisfies Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten Free, Low Sodium, Low Sugar, etc… I’m sure it saves them lots of money, but hot damn are they disgusting.
