Submission + - Apple News, Google promote outlets that endorse Dem candidates shutout GOP (nypost.com)

An anonymous reader writes: All told, the most prominent outlets on Apple News and Google News had a 31-0 endorsement record in favor of Democrats.

“Big Tech executives insist their news platforms serve as objective public squares, but our findings lay bare the massive corporate tilt driving these algorithms,” MRC President David Bozell said in a statement. “Apple and Google systematically funnel tens of millions of users into media sources that have backed Democrats for president 31 times without a single Republican endorsement in 40 years.

“Silicon Valley has engineered these news feeds to quietly tilt public debate, insulating voters from conservative reporting while treating partisan, left-wing outlets as the nation’s default news authority.

Comment Because the Democrats all went to Bluesky (Score 1) 215

X - nee Twitter has skewed Republican ever since Musk bought it because the Democrats went "Eeew, fascist!" and ran to Bluesky which was essentially a rewrite of Mastodon which was where all the Republicans tried to run to when non-Musk owned Twitter BANNED Republican accounts for censorship reasons.

If the bulk of the content is going to skew one way that's what the majority of the users are going to see. True of X, true of Bluesky.

The only way to "win" here is not to play. Which, I don't.

Submission + - Shake Shack says tech glitch explains viral no-tip video (kget.com)

the_skywise writes: "Shake Shack says a technology glitch, not a no-tip surcharge, caused the price increase shown in a viral video at a licensed airport location.

The clarification comes after a TikTok video sparked online backlash over what appeared to be a penalty for not tipping."

Shake Shack claims it was a franchisee location that had a bug in their software that they've now fixed.

Yeah, I had the eagle toy as a kid and there's vertical thrusters on the underside. What do you think blew out all that "dust" from the landing pad when they launched? The whole design was really well thought out and my only issue, as another poster here made, was there doesn't appear to be a place where the fuel was kept at.
