I hate to bring up politics, or be paranoid. But I think a happening is happening. Why?(self)
15 commentsbyx0x7

Maybe it is, or maybe this is nothing.

I saw a little fox news. No real news. These are people who will make news out of anything. Hmm, seems odd. This can happen if there is a story they are dodging. If it's partisan, maybe CNN will be useful for once. Nothing burger stories on their site too.

Maybe I should be happy. Absolutely nothing is going on with politics. I want the world to move on and re-apply more focus to other things that matter. There is so much more that matters. So much worth thinking about besides politics. So why am I of all people complaining? Because it's odd for Fox News and CNN to let go of hyper sensational stories. When they do it, something's off. It would be healthy for anyone else to do it.

Or maybe I should just be happy that exaggerated and over-serious politics is the last thing on people's plates for once, including Fox and CNN. If the world improves am I reasonable to view it with suspicion?

There's a full solar eclipse on Wednesday, and that's the eternal favorite of the mystery Sun religion.

But mysteries are only mysterious until you understand them.

Then they become reasonably predictable.

They skipped the previous planned eclipse events, because people began noticing. No doubt they were unhappy about that.

But they've been quiet about Wednesday's eclipse, so...

They still worship eclipses because that's how they first gained power. Predicting them now doesn't impress people. But they still love eclipses. Corona? Didn't start right on a day of eclipse but it's in the name. 9/11? There was not an eclipse on that day but two towers became one.

So I don't expect big events on eclipse days. But big events will have eclipse symbolism. Eclipse yesterday, nothing big happens, no surprise. The USA and South Korea are doing annual drills simulating war with NK. NK fired a missile yesterday, I don't think that's some huge event tho. But maybe those drills will be used to stage an event. The drills are called the ulchi freedom shield. Ulchi is a Korean military hero. Maybe the missile launch on the eclipse day means something just thinking out loud.

Thanks for bringing this up. Because of the biased narratives at many news agencies, I've relied for two decades on news aggregator websites (mainly Reddit) to read the news, while also reading news from the top central group here: https://adfontesmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/MBC-1.0.jpg (Guardian, Economist, NPR, Reuters, AP, MSNBC, BBC, while also Al Jazeera, and specific news subs at Reddit) That simplified chart is from August 2022. Contrast that with all of the heavily biased, new, right wing, news media since then: https://adfontesmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Media-Bias-Chart-13.0_August-2025-Social-Media-scaled.jpg In August 2025 one could see that $Billions had been invested in new right wing news media. Other than the TYT, HuffPost, Rachel Maddow, and Rolling Stone, I don't recognize and have not read much of the other news media on the left. Moreover, the Times, WP, and CBS and some others have shifted significantly to the right since last year.

One of the reasons I spent more time at Saidit in recent years was to see what the far right were thinking (as I often noted at the site), without having to read far right misinformation propaganda at FOX and elsewhere. I also created a sub on Saidit that kept track of all of the far right news media companies, which increased a lot in the past 10 years. 10 years ago, any of us could start a far right news media company and would be guaranteed a $100k salary at the outset, and potentially millions thereafter. Donors would back these new websites.

If there were more news on goatmatrix, I could be here more often, because I am a news junkie.

The big news yesterday - which was not easy to find in any US news media - was that, "Trump administration to pay German firm $1.2bn to halt US wind projects" : https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1e1vg0gjl5o That's without question a corruption of US taxpayer interests for the sake of the oil industry, Russia, Saudi Arabia, climate change, a small number of wealthy assholes, and climate disasters that today's children will later deal with.

If independent media will cover the important corporate crap as well as the not-covered issues, why waste any time and why settle for manufactured corporate media "news" at all?

Give up the political theatrics and bread and circuses to think for yourself.

Break your addiction that gets you no further ahead with no real answers.

Climate change is a $cam - as are most "green" $olution$, while authentic solutions are suppressed.

If the climate was a priority they wouldn't be building thousands of data centers and would focus on reducing bloat (on ev.er.y.thing, not just software) and improving effectiveness, efficiency, and elegance (in all things too).

Fake Food is being shoved down our throats; lab-grown meat and Bio-Engineered food are replacing real food as Gates and China buy out farms.

And also sex robots that can't fold laundry.

They weren't bought to fold laundry, they were bought for sex.

Nope.

You may want to consider adopting a revised legal theory, which may allow you to trade in your current model for a future upgrade.

My wife and I do the laundry together. I don't need a sexbot.

There is ALWAYS stuff going on worth reporting.

The global monetary and geopolitical shift this year is the biggest thing in our lifetime - and corporate media is not covering it at all.

Inflation will rocket soon.
Starvation will destroy populations.
It's going to get much much much much much much much much much much worse.

For the corporate media - summer break?
Rest before they hammer us with something awful?
Prepping for the next big psyop?

I heard you were apprehended, arrested, and molested.

That's what Nole is posting about.

parentlinkreply
[-]JasonCarswell1(+1|0)

All of that would be far more exciting than my reality.

I don't know who Nole is, but she can come over anytime to apprehend, arrest, and molest me.
