  • Journalists should treat this the same way they did when musk took over Twitter and set the press email to auto-reply with a poop emoji.

    Many articles included references to that, saying things like, ‘we reached out to Twitter, but their response was shit’. Some fed it questions tailored to the auto-reply, so that they could report things like 'when asked their opinion about the company’s chances of survival under musk, twitter’s own PR dept was not optimistic, chosing to simply reply with a poop emoji.

    Journalists (at least those not working for maga controlled / allied media) should take a similar approach, and characterize the new, null data as 0%, and publish statements like

    ‘In recent poling, Gallup found no supporters for the president, suggesting his approval rating of 0%’

    Or

    'Our graph of Gallups poling data on presidential popularity over time shows a sharp decline to 0% approval in recent months. (After purposefully building a bot / website scraper that shows null/ undefined results as 0, making that a true statement.)










  • Also, need to define what constitutes ‘killed by.’ Depending on that definition, were quite a aways of- if were requiring agency, and a sex robot making a decision resulting in someones death.

    In the middle range, someones death being the direct result of an electric sex toy, had probably already happened: its fairly likely some elderly or otherwise infirm person has had a lethal stroke /heart attack/ whatever induced by mechanically assisted sexual device.

    If your definition is loose enough, autoerotic aspyxiation while using an electric toy could count. If so, were probably into quad digits by now.
