I haven't read ("doom scrolled") a corporate news site since the day before the last elections. My main source of news is the fediverse; the general casual conversational standard here is pretty goddamn high, on average, I suppose depending on how and who you follow/unfollow, but on current events, local and global, the majority of posts have source* for what they're talking about.
THIS IS REALLY GREAT I APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH THANK YOU ALL REALLY.
