We haven’t even made it to January 20 (Trump inauguration). We already have major fires in our second largest city, terrorist attacks, talk of invading Greenland/Panama/Canada. almost no one talking about what we really need to do to cut carbon. Hospitals are full in my area and people talk about washing hands, but not about masking. I am already so weary. I don’t know what is going to happen after January 21.

    I found it a lot more peaceful once I started filtering out certain word combinations that indicate a ragebait bullshit headline. I considered just filtering out “trump”, but I want actual news to come through, so here’s the list:

    Trump wants
    Trump says
    Trump will
    Trump hints
    Trump demands
    Trump indicates
    Trump claims
    Trump considering
    Trump tells

    …and repeat the list for Musk and Vance. Those verbs target the nothingburger headlines only meant to attract clicks. Basically, we learned 9 years ago that he says loads of stupid shit that doesn’t deserve a headline. I might be interested if he signs something.

      I couldn’t be bothered anymore, and a revolution isn’t getting organised in a Lemmy comment section under a Trump article

      I just filter trump and Elon entirely and read the news once a day. If the news is that big it should hit my local paper.
