Cool, but I came across a headline for some reason about Charlie Kirk and wondered what the hell that was about, I left the game shortly after.

This is mentioned in the piece, it's a further play on the idea of 'Doomscrolling'
"I was pretty happy with the game and ready to share it. But then at the last minute I got another nagging idea in the back of my mind: What if it was somehow more like actual doomscrolling?
It would be easy to get an RSS Feed of headlines from a news site. Could I make them appear in the game as you scroll, in a way that felt integrated with the game?"
Because he was shot today, it was in the news, and the game pulls a live feed of news articles via RSS to simulate doom scrolling.
