I'll be honest, I don't even want to read articles anymore. Its just crazy cabinet nominees every time. Wars happening. Nothing I can control. I just post something sarcastic or jokes in the comments. The only thing I care is if a hurricane is headed in my direction.

Y'all actually read all this shit? How does anyone have the energy?

I just read wikipedia's portal of current events for world news. The whole articles.

Newspapers I don't read, and i block news articles on social media.

Hmm I don't really know if relying on wikipedia is a good idea. Seems like more prone to false info than the news. I'd rather just have no info than potentially false info that makes me biased.
