My attitude is that big news always gets through any filters. If i filter out Trump’s name, I’m still going to see things like “Canada proposes counter US tariffs” or “[My State’s Governor] details plans for medical spending in absence of federal aid” or “Selena Gomez bares it all in tiktok about raids”. At that point I can say “what tariffs, what funding, what raids?” and go find out what’s happening. And if aliens invade the planet in an emergent breaking story, the group chat will pop off, I can tailor my daily meme experience toward being pleasant

Pretty big brain right there I’ve gotta say

I need to see the political equivalent of headlines like “Main Street is on fire” but don’t need to read every article for every sad topic.
