  • The author is sympathetic to cyclists

    Toronto advocates are putting their bodies on the line to protect a bike lane the province wants to rip out — and and to fight a wave of anti-bike lane sentiment that this writer warns is sweeping the whole continent.

    The decision to remove the bike lanes comes from the Province of Ontario despite opposition from the City of Toronto. Ontario Premier Doug Ford is continuing his late brother Rob’s anti-bicycle campaign and is overstepping local leaders to spend millions to tear out a set of bike lanes already installed and prevent new bike lanes from being created.

    but still, fuck that headline. Does everything have to be click- and preferably ragebait? Yes, the answer is yes.


  • Depends a lot on the proofreading the scientists did before “deploying” it:

    Radical Numerics’ research is really more like a blog post — not only was the study self-published, rather than being vetted by a scientific journal, but it hasn’t even been peer reviewed. Making matters even murkier, the company declined to share clinical information about the patient or the doctors involved with the NYT, citing the proprietary nature of a treatment it hopes to monetize.

    Say no more. Is Elizabeth Holmes out of prison now?





  • For a moment I was hoping it had finally happened 😐

    Don’t click. It’s bait.

    The whole article:

    Unconfirmed reports circulating from some sources across the country have sparked speculation about a developing situation involving the White House, with attention now turning to US President Donald Trump for a possible statement.

    However, the details surrounding the reports remain unclear, and no verified information has been provided to establish exactly what may have happened.

    President Donald Trump is expected to be a key focus as people await further clarification. For now, readers are urged to treat the circulating claims with caution until credible sources or an official statement provide confirmation.

    We will continue monitoring the situation and update this report as soon as reliable information becomes available.

    There’s literally nothing here; otoh it’s a good lesson in meaningless phrases in journalism.

    The headline has more detail than the article. It seems to have been randomly plucked from a list of very clickbaity headlines.

    Also what sort of username is this. Unless they’re literally posting news from Niger.
