The flood of pretend new stories which are electioneering editorials just before the election needs to stop.

How many of these campaign issues and their talking points repackaged as 'news' do we need?

Just cover the news and not just pile on 'news' article after article from one side of the political spectrum.

The NYT should be better than this and not give a platform for campaigning otherwise readers will incorrectly think that only certain demographic groups have issues needing government help and the rest of the population has no issues at all.

Then how to rewrite anything in another language?

They would run in parallel for some time, right?

Another former star actor with 20+ years since their last big movie, who is 'retired' complaining about something to promote their own name.

These planted 'news stories' are too predictable. A few news article tropes:

1. Older actor complains about conservatives, corporations, etc.

2. An aged out of the young beauty actress aged about 30 complaining about biased men, discriminatory casting, etc. etc. etc. attention seeking because complaining about men is praised, but complaining that you are competing with attractive 23 year old women is not allowed. Since at 23 you were competing with former beauty actresses now in their 30s.

3. A news article about limousine riding actress or actor 'protesting something and getting arrested' but only if it is a publicity and orchestrated photo shoot.

4. An older actor or actress promoting their book tour by including real or imagined 'red meat' in their book for attention grabbing and book selling purposes

Apparently, the real actor complaint about AI is that they will not get third-rate cameo parts in movies since it would be easier to do that with AI and pay $23.99 a minute for each minute an actor's AI likeness is on screen.

We have had only 50 years of agenda based social science 'research' to establish political talking points and make dimwits of millions of
people who 'feel' that it everything is a power dynamic and fits into their oppressor / oppressed dogma.

And producing news nugget fodder for agenda pushing journalists.

Going back to the rewrite of smaller Linux related tools in Rust instead of keeping C versions. We can have both when warranted.

It would be better to switch to a MIT type license instead of rewriting and picking a GPL license.

She did more good for NASA and computing than we know.

We made some progress apparently since the headline and the article are positive and not a victim narrative.

It would help greatly if news did that more and less of always looking for a who is a victim angle.

Who watches the 'awards' shows, besides people wanting to ooh and aah over the fashion show?

Music award shows maybe, but only for the live musical performances.

Predict that the awards shows will stay around, though the exit of boomers and boomer institutions from popular culture will relegate these legacy institutions to a tiny corner somewhere.

1. Company 'cannot find' qualified highly skilled workers
2. Company imports a worker or hires a graduate student as a H1B
3. H1B worker is 'indentured servitude' employed for 3 years at just under market wages
4. Company still claims 'critical shortage' of skilled workers

If there is such a critical shortage of skilled workers, the the H1B employee's total wages and cost should be much higher than employing a US citizen.

Supply and demand, right?

We know that this is wage suppression.

I've seen it first hand at two large international companies where the 'critical shortage' of highly skilled workers was for a QA person who could test in-house .NET based Windows desktop applications doing basic reporting on help desk tickets.

In other words, a junior level entry level QA job.

Decades of the large defense contractors + government agencies owning all space flight did little to reduce the cost.

A decade of non-governmental and not old-line government contractors has done more to reduce the cost to send a kilogram to space.

This is the question been pondering for awhile. What is the effect on the body of mothers due to the large amounts human growth hormone produced while she is pregnant versus childless women?

We already know this for thousands of years.

You roughly wake up just before or at sunrise, work wile the sun is shining, eat the evening meal, do some inside the house chores, sleep and do it again the next day.

without clocks>/b>

If days are too long, too hot, too cold, you may sleep some in the middle of the day.

This works all without clocks.

This is how it worked in the USA until the railroads lobbied the government for time zones over 100 years ago.

Not directly at the OP here, there is too much of the pattern

1. Headline from a news story
2. A quote from some 'expert' or a 'survey' or a 'study'
3. The author / poster / commentator add a single personal story "I know a person that..."
4. Large numbers of people express outrage of some form or another claiming that "All people X are..."

Can't we just delete the personal anecdote from the discussion since too many people cannot control their emotions and demand radical legal changes, entire groups to lose their rights, entire groups to police the behavior of people they do not even known, ....?

News should not be "here is a study which confirms our talking point" and "here is an expert who parrots the dogma talking point" and "oops, we did not even try to find anyone to analyze the scientific basis and methodology of the study".

Agree. This is academic 'research' rent seeking because of the increased likelihood that an academic journal would publish a paper that confirms one or more long held left leaning talking points (even untrue talking points).

It is 50 years into this women/men earnings talking points football match.

The academic research community should be able to evaluate the wages earned for the same job and same work hours in a scientific way and publish the results.

This decades long political orthodoxy of never letting new data disprove left leaning talking points and disprove the oppressor / oppressed dogma needs to stop.

Failing to reevaluate this dogma keeps the (both political parties) platform of decay, status quo, stagnation, and decline in living standards.

The women who were penalized with job loss, lower pay, and other negative bias effects are retired and in their 70s or older.

It is not the responsibility of men 18 to 65, nor is it the government's responsibility to provide handouts, special programs, priority job placement and contracting to women 18-65 who were never ones discriminated against in jobs, hiring or contracting

If anything, banks, old-line corporations, the government need to apologize to women 70 or older. An 18 year old women today should not receive extra government services, special programs or extra government spending becasue someone older than 70 may have had negative treatment in employment.

The first point to report is the gender wage gap does not exist and is "is estimated to be between 1 to 2 per cent" when doing the same job and working the same number of hours.

This habit or repeating false 'facts" from grievance studies does nothing to help the economic situation of the lowest paid workers.

Dishonest reporting to affirm what is not true and then have an unscientific study of https://www.the-independent.co...

Female AI agents ‘paid’ less than males, study finds
Gender pay gap extends to artificial intelligence agents as female bots paid 10 per cent less than male counterparts
Anthony Cuthbertson 06 October 2026

"When taking into account men and women in the same employment and with similar skills and experience, the pay gap is estimated to be between 1 to 2 per cent."

The side problem is that highly experienced software and hardware security testers are getting upstaged by novices using AI slop to find holes.

AI is making the news cycle easier to self-promote with every AI slop found security hole in a well-known web site or product.
