But consider: baitballs.

You're watching the hypnotic motion of a "bait ball" composed of anchoveta (Engraulis ringens). This piscine mosh pit probably has tens of thousands of individuals, but they move like a singular organism. How is this coordinated & WHY? Let's talk about swarm behaviors. (📷: BBC Blue Planet)

Their whole YouTube channel does the same numbers. The only video that has more than 500 views is their “trailer” - and I’m sure that’s mostly hate-watches.

like a butt with balls? or balls with a butt? balls that look like a butt? I have so many questions! Or at least, better thought out questions than whatever the WaPo is doing.

I feel like any reporting about this story should include the fact that only 4% of the offers of relocation have been accepted. Folks do not want to move from Seattle to Nashville as it turns out.

Considering that is Katie Andrews, how was working for The Institute of Economics Affiars, was a full throated Brexit supporter and anti tax advocate.... buttballs is about right.

We need a word for a hot take that sucks so bad it doesn't even work as rage bait. A hot pocket take - you think it's hot but it's absolutely uncooked in the middle. A salmonella take - still raw in the middle and will probably come back up in an hour, and not in a fun way

It’s creepy. They are trying to do the “just asking questions” Joe Rogan schtick. But he’s a meathead and his audience doesn’t understand things. These people are trying to do the same thing but with an NPR kinda approach.

The Post is turning into a straight out propaganda mill for the billionaire class. That's something of a tragedy, because cities need good sources of local news. But beyond that, this is some embarrassingly weak shit -- it's not even good propaganda.

Ah, Kate Andrews, right wing neolib schill beloved of the London Tufton St brigade who regularly turns up on Question Time on BBC 1 to spout utter bollocks on every topic going, usually straight from the pages of the fucking spectator and what ever cunty think tank was funding her that day.
