I like a fair bit of what I read in Time magazine, despite the “Partners with CNN” thing. For example, in today’s Time, Alice Park insightfully explored both the fungus I wrote about yesterday and the alarm surrounding it in “The ‘Killer Fungus’: Should We Be Scared?”

There’s one thing that gets me, though. Time punctuates many of its online stories with red links to related articles — or to articles someone, or perhaps some bot, thinks are related. It’s not that they distract me; I don’t tend to click on them and forget to come back and finish what I’m reading, for example, which would be a problem. What annoys me is that they frequently seem incongruous with the article I’m reading. They make my brain go “Huh? Why did I just read that?” It happened again today.

For the record, the "worst-dressed leaders" article featured Morales. But still.

Ok, I get that Morales is a leader, but does anyone else see a gay ↔ fashion subtext lurking here? Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but maybe a link to the best-dressed leaders would have been more gracious, if they’re going to call this out in the first place. Oh, and that shade of red is too, too Nancy Reagan — it should be really more Reba.
