    OMG, we as a society need to go back to that instead of filling a 24 hour news cycle with pundits and endless opinons.

        You joke, but there are news “articles” that are just a bunch of quotes of what people are saying about a topic on Reddit or Twitter that read very similarly to what you commented.

          while it’s not newsworthy, keeping track of that shit is important. i just wouldn’t think people are too lazy to go look for themselves, but then i think how lazy i am. i got a microwave hot pad that’s been sitting in the microwave so long i gotta microwave it again

        “Ejaculated”

        The weirdest thing about reading lovecraft was hitting phrases “they ejaculated into the queriest of orgies right there on the poop”

      more or less they found out using culture war BS(yes it has been going on since reagans time, like celebrity news, SPorts was useful against them from class war issues. so they dialed it to 1000, and adding copaganda, militaryproganda to that end. ragebait is very effective. plus “whitewashing white people” in media.

      “Nothing happened today” isn’t a sign of a slow news day, it’s a sign of institutional decay. Literally people unwilling or unable to do their jobs.

      Modern hustle culture has it’s own problems, but suggesting we should be applauding a national broadcaster just doing Ferris Beuller’s Day Off? Come on.
