While I’m thrilled people are finding ways to amplify important messages, this is yet another indication of the massive amount of power we have handed platforms & their algorithms. We can take it back.

As a kid, I always wondered why I was so obsessed Star Wars. I always wondered why it was so important. As an adult, I get it now. Star Wars at its core is a story about fighting authoritarianism.

A heavy anti-Trump news diet really wrecked my mental health during his first administration. I’m trying to navigate how to avoid that and yet still: stay informed & resist his attacks on our freedoms.

Hegspeth is confirmed. Now What? He has no idea how to manage the Pentagon. So he is going to be dependent on his direct reports. Most of which require confirmation. The Dems have to use whatever political skills they have to get qualified, rational people in these positions ? Suggestions ?

Jawa’s guide for a healthy news diet: - Get 20% of your news from sources with editorialized front pages - Get 20% from algorithmically derived front pages - Get 20% from news outlets foreign to you - Get 20% from a source that’s ideologically opposite to your views - Get 20% locally in person

Complaining about the “Legacy media” is rapidly becoming a great indicator of your worldview & media consumption habits. It’s source bias, nothing less. It’s no different than your Boomer parents or grandparents dismissing everything on TikTok. Media literacy is hard.
