We hate journalistic navel gazing, especially of the self-important but willfully blindered variety. Does @DanCALmatters know there is a donate button stuck above every @CalMatters piece?
We hate that the Astronomy Picture of the Day is a victim of the U.S. federal shutdown. apod.nasa.gov/apod/
We hate when people, especially reporters, call a video that is obviously fake a "deep fake." Deep fakes are meant to deceive viewers into believing they are real. Slapping a cartoonish sombrero and mustache on someone doesn't fool anyone.
We hate when news stories about controversial videos don't embed the actual content or link to it. Let us see what the fuss is about. @EricaLG @IvanPer4 nytimes.com/2025/10/01/us/po…
We hate made-up proverbs: "in a country balanced on a pencil tip, able to fall any direction with a proverbial gust of wind." It doesn't even work. Ds or Rs. That's two ways, not 2Pi. Was real proverbial "knife's edge" too violent for @nbcnews @aseitzwald? nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna175…
Yes, Fern, yes it is. sfchronicle.com/california/a…
We hate when inept prosecutors screw up badly enough that sexual predators are set free.
Breaking News: New York’s highest court overturned Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 felony sex-crime conviction, a stunning reversal of the #MeToo era’s biggest trial. It’ll be up to the Manhattan district attorney whether to seek a retrial.

Poking around national intelligence archives. We hate learning that the paranoids were right and the intelligence community has been working on AI systems to spy on everyone for years.

We hate that the "iconic mascot" @AnheuserBusch invoked to salvage #BudLight was a horse. We honestly were looking for #SpudsMacKenzie. foxbusiness.com/politics/bud…
We hate when writers don't do their homework.
"HATE: The whole world opposes it, no one defends it — so why are we obsessed with it?"
That said, we appreciate a lucid, though too-brief, defense of hate.

We hate that @apwillweissert @AP has such a laughably a low threshold for "major."
"Bestselling self-help author Marianne Williamson ... [is] the first major Democrat to challenge President Joe Biden for his party’s nomination in 2024."

We hate listening to the U.S. Supreme Court debate YouTube, but we can't turn it off. The ignorance of the gerentocracy is so profoundly amusing in a scary sort of way.
