What are everyone's thoughts on the recent Brundle brouhaha? in c/formula1@lemmy.ml

Who knew, when you try to compel live speech you get shitty speech. The interview exchange is the most contrived medium of exchange ever invented, it actually got a lot of push back when it was first invented or used in news media in the 1850s, presumably for coaxing and normalizing bullshit.

I don't watch grid walks or anything outside of lights out / chequered flag because shoving cameras in faces of people is just a celebrity on celebrity toss off nowadays.

Against 'Long-Form Journalism' (2013) (www.theatlantic.com)
 

We often turn to long-form articles to escape from the endless headline scrolling. This piece is a reminder that the length of a piece alone isn't an indicator of quality, and that unlimited web publishing still has some things to learn about the art of constraint.

Feel free to ask the devs any questions here. in c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml

Search is coming along nicely, it's fast and relevant, but it would be nice to see the actual community the comment result is is coming from too (it shows the community for posts but not comment search results). Would be good for context.
