Beloved Clickbait

 Buzzwords

Lifting the targets 

For the AI bots to consume

He's for the mask

She's against the vaccine

Stirring it up

In three word sound bites

Magically designed 

To make us salivate

Like Pavlov's dog.

  1. I am going to be serious here, for a moment. When I was a teenager, we had a small terrier mix, who loved to eat raw fish. On days when we had fresh fish caught, and to be cleaned, my Dad would click a pair of surgical scissors, in advance of sharing a piece of fish to the dog. As soon as the terrier encountered to ringing of the steel scissors, she would dance on her back legs, putting on a show, in order to be rewarded. (For the record, this maneuver was her idea. She trained us, not the other way around, as you might surmise.

    Eventually, Dad started freezing extra portions of fish for the dog. I recall, there we times, when the dog netted all of a given day's catch, although handed out over a period of days.
