Sydney Sweeney and Her Fiction

Please note that (in case you wish to comment or reply to this post / article) my pronoun is “Boss“.

I wrote about the Sydney Sweeney story in the news a while back — see “On the Internet …” [ https://socio.business.blog/2025/08/01/on-the-internet ].

Yesterday one of my colleagues shared this article with me:

(Roughly) Daily

While I enjoy the imagery used, I find that there is too little criticism of fake and false narratives used to sell crap to suckers. (See also my own writings about “suckers” and “sucker” mentality, etc.)

Other search engines are far superior to Google

Not many realize that the information they are seeking on Google is censored, filtered, and deliberately presented to users in certain areas to align with its interests. Google heavily lobbies governments globally, but has an extreme sway over politicians within the establishment on the right and left.

BTW: I just posted something related .. and for a short moment it seemed like a very dystopian fiction story … but then (in the end) I was shocked that it actually seemed quite realistic! 😯 (See “Would You Rather Choose a Book or Pick a Card?” [ https://socio.business.blog/2024/03/25/would-you-rather-choose-a-book-or-pick-a-card ] )

I could not stop looking at the TV, apparently my provisional window into the world from under the rock, and the TV host who could not stop faking sadness around the developing story

Disinformation acts as an ever-evolving tool that can be used to help change or expedite how the public interprets individuals, policies, or other general categories of opinion

Though President Trump has been exceptionally vocal about the negative effects of fake news, even going as far as to publicly accuse several news outlets of participating in the activity, there are many who believe his campaign is using fake news accounts as a tactic to get him ahead in the election race. For example, several prominent news outlets such as the Washington Post and the New York Times have claimed that President Trump’s campaign is built on disinformation.
