    If you put a potato in a microwave oven and press the pizza button, it
    still comes out a potato. Works the same with choosing your gender.

    That isn't exactly the way I would have described it. The days of
    people like David Brinkley and Walter Cronkite are long gone. Now,
    every story requires the appropriate presentation and tone of
    voice. So you get chirpy happy voices for happy stories and sad
    faces and sad intonation for sad stories. Local news requires that
    everyone acts like they are all part of one big happy family. And
    those dresses. The lady newscasters are mostly wearing various
    versions of the same single color, baggy dress. The details change,
    but the basic design stays the same. The dresses look like they
    were made to work well with green screen effects. The women often
    end up looking like they're all clones from the same factory.

    Look, maybe they, like, totally are, you know?

    TB

    Not so around these parts. Several times I've been tempted to send the
    Seattle weather women a can or two of spray paint so that they could
    change the color of whatever paint they're currently wearing. The good
    thing is you can't have a wardrobe malfunction when your wardrobe comes
    from a spray can.

    That's possible, but it's more likely that what we're seeing is the
    result of big corporations studying what we want and giving it to
    us, down to tiny details. Those dresses are probably designed to
    draw as few complaints as possible, except for maybe from the women
    who have to wear them. I saw a lady on the news wearing long pants
    with a blouse the other day. Even though they were very ordinary
    colors she looked like some sort of wild feminist hippy, compared
    to the other women.

    Wherever you are in this country the local news looks like it was
    all carefully put together using the same formula. You have to have
    so much "hard" news, and and so much sports and healthy amount of
    happy stories, no matter how sappy and ridiculous they may be, on
    and on. The way the local news looks and sounds now is probably a
    crude preview of what the world will look like after our AI masters
    take over.
