When did "saving", "customizing" or "maintaining" stuff become "curating"?
What triggered this mini-rant was the New London Day's website, which tells users to "look at the bottom of your browser window for a new version of [the 'of interest'] feature, which allows you to customize and curate stories based on your preferences."
So remember kiddies, you don't fix up your old heap of a car, you "curate" it.
You're not a stamp collector, you're a "postage curator".
You're not a "hoarder", you're an "insatiable curator".
Can we find a cure for this overuse of "curate"? Maybe the forced administration of a little curare?

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Look up "curate's egg". Appropriate, no?

We all have our own take on the thing, but I must self-centeredly pat myself on the back and say, "Been there, done that."
