No Olympics
THE news cycles are getting drier (feels like weekends during the week, i.e. on weekdays) and many aim for "easy" and "cheap" so-called 'reporting', i.e. dreary cruft like telling us "scores" or lists of names of people (rankings) with flags next to them. An algorithm could easily be crafted, sans machine learning or anything superficially 'witty', to write the same 'news'.
This morning, seeing that some news feeds were getting saturated with Olympics cruft, I created a rule to exclude (effectively cull) all "news" items containing the substring "lympic".
We really need to focus on real news, not the fashionable distraction from world events, corruption included. Daily Links herein ought to maintain high signal-to-noise ratio, which means no sports or nationalism - sometimes supremacism (supremacy by association) - disguised as "competition". Sport is for exercise more than for spectators. Don't ask the Greek. █
