This is a little disturbing.

If you use Microsoft Edge on your computer, you’ve probably seen their home page. It provides a crap ton of links to news and other sites (plus the obligatory ads). The top left link is usually a slideshow of different articles from a variety of sources on a variety of topics.

But the current selection on my computer is interesting.

I don’t know about you, but this sure looks like whoever is selecting the news story for the Edge news feed is really into pushing the war narrative. I don’t know if this is intentional, but is does seem like a strange selection of news stories.

(I’m not going the question why they think I would need fluorescent bulbs or napkins.)
