Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Honestly! I heard ALL about the great catch and I had to learn about the Starship rocket failure two days later on Lemmy. (lemmy.world)

Proof of the value of looking beyond the most base layer of news. You'll make it easy to be fed a narrative that fits the elites worldview.

  1. Funny, that's also what the right-wingers keep blathering on about.

  2. This wasn't hidden at all. I knew about it immediately, posts and stories about the explosion were being shared immediately. It was an extremely public event, and exhaustively reported on.

The base layer of news is what shows up in fly-in chyrons an pop-up ads. Great to get under the fold, but its worth acknowledging how much of modern media is now just the front page of the New York Post.

Exactly. We’ve never been closer to Oligarchical Dystopia in our lives.
