Great story and also the recipe sites vs robots thing has been happening for years, except in the age of SEO it was humans trying to get robots’ attention, sometimes at the expense of accuracy. Another example is the “don’t smash a burger to hold in the juices” myth

![“If people are searching the wrong thing because that’s what they’ve been given, how do you return a result to them that explains that they’re incorrect, while also being found by them?” Bromilow says. “You don’t want to reinforce the mistake, right? It’s really weird and complicated.”
That Ethiopian recipes are being translated from Amharic to English also brings a host of problems: how should Bromilow spell the names of dishes? Should he use whatever spelling people are searching for the most? A post on savory pancakes sums it up, in which the Canadian Bromilow explains why he’s opted to omit the “u” in savoury: “The choice, while it breaks my maple-syrup filled heart, is obvious — savory is searched for more often, and using that spelling is more likely to [get] a recipe noticed by the all-powerful and oft-mysterious search engine algorithms.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fctau3eedws5cdrvnv4k6n2q/bafkreianx2eqjr5guzjw7i6un5r7qxqiddatvcgpoqozjfqcunuw254siq@jpeg)

The Epstein emails are full of powerful people colluding to protect the most heinous behavior. They're also pretty pathetic at times — as when Epstein was complaining about the cost of hiring someone to do SEO to COVER UP RUNNING A PEDOPHILE RING.

The indictment is insane, these guys were literally texting with bettors mid game!!! www.justice.gov/usao-edny/me...
![Specifically, on or about May 28, 2025, the Cleveland Guardians played an MLB game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The game began at approximately 1:10 p.m.
Before the game, at approximately 1:00 p.m., Bettor-1 sent a text message to the defendant EMMANUEL CLASE DE LA CRUZ confirming whether CLASE was, "[a]ll set." CLASE responded, "[yjes." At approximately 3:36 p.m., in the middle of the game, Bettor-1 and Bettor-2 each placed wagers totaling approximately $4,000 (including a parlay bet) that a pitch thrown by CLASE would be a Ball/HBP. CLASE threw a pitch that appeared to be a ball, but the batter swung, resulting in a strike and leading Bettor-1 and Bettor-2 to lose their wagers.
28. Approximately 20 minutes after Bettor-I lost the wager on May 28, 2025,
Bettor-1 sent a text message to the defendant EMMANUEL CLASE DE LA CRUZ-a gif image of a man hanging himself with toilet paper. Even though the Cleveland Guardians won the game, approximately 10 minutes later, CLASE responded to Bettor-1 with a gif image of a sad puppy dog face.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fctau3eedws5cdrvnv4k6n2q/bafkreih2vgl2nl37o5f5wfldumrq32j4c3izcvfsjzzsueo752r7vdu2hu@jpeg)
