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?

    And let’s be honest: 90% of news articles don’t contain more relevant information for me than the headline.

    “Politician said X” has almost never any effect on my life.

    I just scrolled through the front page of Der Spiegel. The first 10 articles are speculations about campaign decisions, analyses of things already known, and opinion pieces of some mildly knowledgeable people.

    Yeah, that’s mostly irrelevant. Yes, some background would be nice, but I don’t have time to read about everything that isn’t of consequence for me anyway.

      Hell a lot of them don’t contain accurate information either. Especially AI slop.
