"CEO Said A Thing!" Journalism

"CEO said a thing!" journalism involves parroting the claims of a business leader or executive with absolutely no context, correction, or challenge whatsoever, no matter how elaborate the delusion.

RWTB: Oh but surely Picard's Enterprise wasn't like this.

Average TNG Episode: Will Riker is falling for a trans person from an agender society. Meanwhile, the genius Black disabled chief engineer and his autism-coded android best friend just saved another planet through science education.

Right wing tech bros: we love Star Trek but it's too woke nowadays. Too preachy. Kirk's show wasn't like this.

Average TOS episode: AI is bad and should never be allowed to run a society. Also, make peace because nationalism kills and every life form must be respected equally.

I do believe Windows 98 was the last version of Windows still available on floppy disks. A complete set includes 38 (!) 1.680K DMF format diskettes. Holy cow! 😉

"For years, this has been one of the most glaring infringements on people's privacy, and Congress has had many chances to act to close this data broker loophole, and they haven't been able to," EFF’s Matthew Guariglia told San Diego's CBS 8.
