I was going to say confirmation bias, but selection works too.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was a depression-fest because its writer is 'from Poland and people in Poland are sad. They are born sad, they die sad, so I just wanted to make the whole world sad'
I guess people aren't all that familiar with the world of Cyberpunk 2020/2077 if anyone expected any type of happy ending. Cybering yourself inevitably leads to cyber psychosis, with no exceptions. Even Adam Smasher is rated as a "high functioning cyberpsycho", and may be unique in that category. Getting into a gunfight is rarely survivable, black ice will flatline you eventually, and brain dance addiction comes for everyone else.

Haley declines to say slavery was cause of Civil War

It's a call out to all the bills republicans are passing to require use of birth names so people like Rafael Cruze and Nimarata Hailey can benefit as well.

House Republicans urge Pentagon to block removal of a Confederate memorial from Arlington National Cemetery
The Civil War Unknowns memorial is presumed to hold a number of confederate remains, and is quite close to Arlington House (Robert E Lee being the former owner). That should be enough of a monument to those who tried to overthrow the United States.

Wisconsin Supreme Court orders new legislative maps for 2024
Some of the comments in the article are quite humorous. How can Justice Rebecca Bradley say with a straight face that the WI Supreme Court is undermining democracy when the republican party candidates got just under 45% of the total statewide vote but still somehow have 2/3 of the seats in the legislature? Democracy surely is being undermined, but I don't think Ms Bradley is focusing on the right things.

Maryland bill would force gun owners to get $300K liability insurance to wear or carry
If you think that's bad, I had to get a $1,000,000 umbrella coverage policy for our swimming pool to cover liability in case someone gets injured. I don't think it's unreasonable at all

Broadcom ends VMware perpetual license sales, testing customers and partners
Broadcom used to be a worthwhile company, but now their whole M.O. seems to be buying up mature solutions and price-gouging the companies that rely on those solutions. They sell off the parts they can't price gouge with and then the solutions stagnate. They did it with CA, and again with Symantec, and now it's VMware's turn.

I briefly worked for a plumber during my college days to make money. He said the people who kept him in business were people who poured grease down the drain and also people who flushed tampons.

I'm re-reading The Hobbit at the moment. Gandalf might not be a conjurer of cheap tricks, because he's only packing the expensive, high-caliber stuff.
Well he is wielder of the flame of Anor, and I don't think you can put a muzzle on the sun.

How could you forget Power Girl?
According to character writer Jimmy Palmiotti, "Okay. When the character was created, Wally Wood was the artist that drew Power Girl, and he was convinced that the editors were not paying attention to anything he did. So, his inker said "Every issue, I'm going to draw the tits bigger until they notice it. It took about seven or eight issues before anyone was like, "Hey, what's with the tits?" And that's where they stopped. True story."

Way back in the 1950s some guy had the same observation you did. He came up with an idea for a book that would solve disputes over trivia by bar patrons. 70 years later the Guinness Book of World Records has over 22,000 entries in their database.
