Note

While the news is concerning, it seems Daily Galaxy had all the hallmarks of a content mill aping more legit sources. I had no idea because I follow a lot of RSS feeds and this had been sitting there for a while now. I choose it for the science stuff. Sorry. I honestly wasn’t aware.

    Here’s the NYT article they’re aping instead of checks notes whatever the fuck the “Daily Galaxy” is.

    Why is every, like, sixth word bolded? Like I know pragmatically why, but it’s so transparently designed for brainrotted zoomers who think 300 words is “long”. What a slop trough of an article.

        • It’s trivial to bypass the paywall.
        • The paywall is only there if you’ve already read a certain number of articles.
        • It’s still a considerably better read than this telephone game version from the “Daily Galaxy”. (Edit: reading it all the way, it’s almost guaranteed written by an LLM.)
