We hate book banners. sfstandard.com/arts-culture/w…

We hate listening to the U.S. Supreme Court debate YouTube, but we can't turn it off. The ignorance of the gerentocracy is so profoundly amusing in a scary sort of way.

We hate that Will Weissert The Associated Press has such a laughably a low threshold for "major." "Bestselling self-help author Marianne Williamson ... [is] the first major Democrat to challenge President Joe Biden for his party’s nomination in 2024." apnews.com/article/biden-…

We hate when writers don't do their homework. "HATE: The whole world opposes it, no one defends it — so why are we obsessed with it?" That said, we appreciate a lucid, though too-brief, defense of hate. thespectator.com/life/words-act…

We hate that the "iconic mascot" Anheuser-Busch invoked to salvage #BudLight was a horse. We honestly were looking for #SpudsMacKenzie. foxbusiness.com/politics/budwe…

We hate made-up proverbs: "in a country balanced on a pencil tip, able to fall any direction with a proverbial gust of wind." It doesn't even work. Ds or Rs. That's two ways, not 2Pi. Was real proverbial "knife's edge" too violent for @nbcnews Alex Seitz-Wald? nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna1…

We hate martial law.

We hate tariffs.

We hate makeshift flamethrowers.

We hate cancel culture... No matter the source or target.

We hate when news stories about controversial videos don't embed the actual content or link to it. Let us see what the fuss is about. Erica L. Green Ivan Pereira nytimes.com/2025/10/01/us/…

We hate when people, especially reporters, call a video that is obviously fake a "deep fake." Deep fakes are meant to deceive viewers into believing they are real. Slapping a cartoonish sombrero and mustache on someone doesn't fool anyone.

We hate when we must resort to blocking insipid ads.
