How Reddit Crushed the Internet's Largest Protest
The only thing that matters to me is that the vast majority of my interactions on Reddit are shite ones with negative assholes, while the vast majority of my interactions here are pretty chill. Reddit won't die, but if it did.. I wouldn't miss it one bit.

New research visualizes the political bias of all major AI language models
I love that being not a being an asshole somehow equates to "left wing" according to this line of thinking. Does anyone really want "conservative" AIs? Sounds like a nightmare

Almost half of Australia's elite athletes 'earn below the poverty line'
I've always considered the pursuit of sport to be something for the elite, much like art, fashion, design, writing etc. You need significant financial support for a long time to really make it fields such as that. Now that may be a generalisation, but it's mostly true I think

Cruise line apologizes after dozens of whales slaughtered in front of passengers
I mean, the cruise ship and its inhabitants are "guests" so I'm not sure where they get off telling the locals what to do?
While I certainly don't condone hunting and killing whales (I also don't eat meat for the same reasons, ie. animals shouldn't have to suffer just so they can tantalize our taste buds), if these are local customs and it's not harming the environment then maybe people shouldn't be all high-and-mighty about it. Especially if they are chowing down on veal, lamb, or any meat for their meals.
Considering where these people live, I'm guessing historically speaking being fully vegetarian may not have been an option, so I wouldn't really judge them too harshly for customs that were likely built around survival as much as anything else. But maybe I'm off base, just guessing really.
