"What's exciting about these results is that there is something that the platforms can do to reduce polarisation," said Saveski. "It's a new approach they could take in designing their algorithms." X was approached for comment.

The lads are packing their catnip donuts
Lenny, a tuxedo cat, and Frank, a tabby, sprawl on an oriental rug with their fabric donuts filled with catnip, looking up at me because I am making a fart noise with my mouth

obvs you would get the big letters out of the upper case here and the little letters out of the lower case, hence the terms we now use instead of ‘majuscule and minuscule’
A typesetting case in two parts, upper and lower, it’s a big wooden hinged rack full of little metal letters

also can I introduce you to American cricketing hero BART KING from Philly, a fast-bowling all-rounder (=a pitcher who could hit a bit too), who averaged 15.6 with the ball in 65 first class matches (=he had a mean curveball)
a black and white photo of a tall, powerfully built white man with dark receding hair. He is dressed in the white flannel shirt and trousers of a first class cricketer, with the sleeves of his shirt neatly rolled above the elbows. He appears to be cantering towards us across the outfield of a meadow with his elbows raised high and his hands behind his head. His face bears an implacable frown.

the thing that always gets me about this story is: it’s the early 80s. What kind of prep and commitment do you need to put in to be able to sing Hitler Youth songs? How would you go about it?
Crick had obtained a letter from an English teacher at Dulwich college, Chloe Deakin. In it, she had opposed a decision in 1981 by the master of Dulwich college to make Farage a prefect when he was 17, describing him as having "publicly professed racist and neofascist views" Deakin, who did not know Farage personally, went on to say that a colleague had reported that at a combined cadet force (CCF) "camp organised by the college, Farage and others had marched through a quiet Sussex village very late at night shouting Hitler Youth songs".

The special boys have been rewarded with new catnip donuts

I fondly remember the 13th Floor story where a man is trying to collect a £95 debt from a tenant and threatens to set the bailiffs on her and Max doesn’t like his tone so straight up murders him
A woman sits in her flat looking sad, being comforted by her son who is anxious. She says ‘I had to borrow that money to pay for my husband’s funeral. There’s no way I can pay it back by tomorrow.’ Off screen MAX says ‘Please don’t cry. I’ll have a word with Mr Kemp for you.’ He actually means he’s going to fucking merk him. Words by John Wagner, art by Alan Grant.

oh there’s a floor
Max, the tower block AI from The Thirteenth Floor in SCREAM, the Uk horror comic. His simple face, two eyes and a jagged mouth, is made up of crackly white lines on a black CRT screen. ‘Greetings, I’m Mac’ he says. He doesn’t like people who harass his tenants

I guess it’s inevitable but if I were 53-year old distinguished multiple award-winning novelist and comic book writer Joe Hill, who has gone to some pains not to trade on his dad’s name throughout his career, I would be pretty tired of this

we're about six months out from him renaming bread
Trump Pushes for New Classes of Navy Warships The president is personally involved in discussions for what the Navy is calling the ‘Golden Fleet’ Niyazov wrote the Ruhnama (meaning "the book of the spirit/soul"), and made it mandatory in all schools, in public offices and for obtaining a driver's license, and excerpts from the book were periodically read on Turkmen television. Niyazov even tried to force Mufti Nasrullah ibn Ibadullah to preach the book in the Türkmenbaşy Ruhy Mosque.[44] Niyazov ordered that all mountains and places in Turkmenistan be named after Turkmen heroes, poets and leaders.[citation needed] Niyazov made the second Sunday of August "Melon Day" in honor of melons, one of his favorite foods, which he referred to as a "gift of God with a glorious history".[45] In August 2002, he ordered a renaming of months and days of the week.[citation needed] He also abolished the Turkmen word for bread and replaced it with Gurbansoltan, his mother's name.[46][47][dubious – discuss] Niyazov requested that a "palace of ice", or indoor ice skating rink, be built near the capital, so that those living in the desert country could learn to skate. The rink was built in 2008 and is located near the new Turkmen State Medical University.[48]
