I entirely loathe headlines that say “What you need to know about X.”

I’ll decide what I need to know, thank you, no matter how ex-fucking-cathedra you think you can make yourself sound. Did you don a mantle and mace and mount a rostrum before writing?

Tell me what *you* know and I’ll take it under advisement, and boost it if I think it's good.

@timbray Along those lines I hate headlines that are “If you are doing X, you are probably doing it wrong!” .

@chrisnicola @scanner @timbray "Everything you thought you knew about X is wrong." FU headline writer, maybe I know more about X than you. 😂
