they just pulled cc sabathia out of the astros-yankees game mid-batter due to injury, probably his last appearance on the mound in his (legendary) career, and the stream chat is a fusillade of "you hate to see it"

Somehow it became acceptable, then ubiquitous, for a software error message to say just "Something went wrong," thereby offering the user utterly no clue about how to proceed. No, sorry, it tells you how to proceed: "Try again later."

Until about three months ago I never once heard the phrase 'dog whistling' and since then I have probably heard it twenty times. Dog whistling is the new gaslighting
― Paul Ponzi, Friday, 18 October 2019 19:16 (six years ago)
dog whistling has been common for at least a decade

it's also a simple way to describe a complex behavior. same with gaslighting. I'm sure people overuse the terms but they are quite helpful in describing a pattern of behavior without getting into details.
