Hey, that’s how I find out the world news nowadays. Submarine implosion, armed rebellion, mysterious plane crash, those all came through.
I learnt about COVID from a Doge meme.
Weird. I learned about doge memes from COVID.
It’s a nice way to receive news, for sure.
News site don’t make it very easy either. Ads galore.
just use unblock origin
I wish there was something like based.cooking but for news, but the fact is that giournalism is biased in general, so I still would have to look for other sources
To think that people would have opinions that influence their writing. For shame. That doesn’t happen anywhere else. /s
Honestly you need to understand your sources biases and use multiple sources then you’ll get close to the truth. Or at least what you want to be the truth because you have your biases too.
EDIT: thank you for that link. It’s a breath of fresh air.
But that’s the problem: doing it right takes a lot of effort, doing it wrong is worst than not doing it, so I end up just not reading the news.
use multiple sources then you’ll get close to the truth
Yes
I’ll take the opportunity to plug ground.news - it’s a site that shows all media sites it can find about a particular news story, displays their political leanings etc, their general writing bias and/or likelihood of misinformation, and then attempts to summarise the story.
This is great, thanks!
There actually is. I won’t be able to research the link but I’ve seen it on some sub on lemmy a couple weeks ago!
Using Mozilla Firefox on my iPhone :/
does iOS not allow extension?
I think some browsers do, but Firefox does not
of course they only allow them on safari
The version for testers allows it to install
Try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox_beta&hl=en&gl=US
Don’t need Beta, just a phone that doesn’t run iOS
Wait there’s Firefox on iPhone?
of course there is

That’s where the finer details are for sure
is that Drake who famously tries to groom Mille Bobby Brown?
well OP you probably don’t want to use the Pedo as a mem template
☝️😲
🤔
I thought it was just op being meta
I don’t get my news from memes.
I get them from comments on the memes.
Hey! A fellow club member! It’s not effective, sure; but it’s all that’s standing in the way of a full-on mental breakdown… Again.
Highly recommend to do “news breaks”.
I really feel better since I started avoiding the news. I just read the headlines of some notifications on my phone and it’s enough for me.
I feel almost as great as when I ditched Facebook a long time ago.
Makes you realize how heavy the news can be to moral.
Like the recent headlines about subsidized oil being very much a thing now. This is so very deeply disturbing I just can’t handle it. And I just read the headline I can’t even imagine reading a full article explaining to me that we are getting worse for climate change. We indeed are accelerating toward the cliff.
Still, I feel still so much more relaxed not watching the news on any kind of video platform.
Try it.

Omg so relatable fuck
“Give me the bad news but gently”
Maybe we need a news network that just delivers everything in meme format.
Edit: on second thought, that would probably blow.
I feel like that used the be the Daily Show/Colbert Report, then it became Late Night with Seth Meyers and the Tonight Show with Stephen Colbert in addition to TDS.
But now we have nothing.
(Support the strike! Donate to the entertainment community fund!)
Is that why TDS is still on hiatus? For some reason, I just assumed they couldn’t pick a host. Which, in hindsight, is really silly.
Last Week Tonight, or Some More News?
“Hol’ up, Trump actually got booked?”
I had to go look it up after the mugshot memes popped up. Lol

Surprisingly not terrible at least some of the time
I mean, I suppose you have to be pretty good at what you do if everyone’s copying their homework off you.
I am in this picture and I feel offended.
I am in this picture and fully support the meme based news cycle.
Just give me the bullet points, thanks.
That sounds like you want Reuters or ap news then.
If you live in a country where the government bribes all the media, this and Twitter(/Xcrement) or whatever you can find on Mastodon is basically all you can find
And the bots in the Tech comm - one fetches 👽🤢 trending news articles, and the TLDR one bypasses the paywall 🏴☠️😎
Mexico found aliens… again.
