I was using Samsung’s news app until it kept overwhelming me with ads for walk-in showers and politics. What are good apps that aggregate news from multiple sources? Bonus if they provide actual links to the articles and don’t just steal the content.
1440 is a great daily newsletter with least-biased articles about American and world news.
I’ve been using it a couple years now, it’s my favorite news aggregator.
It’s just one daily email with the most significant news of that day, at least one source per story and often multiple sources for the larger stories.
The only ads are text, you can scroll right past them, and they include two or three fluff pieces at the end. Like a cat on a hamster wheel or something so you can get your inane meme fix as well.
Yea, just start them. People are so conservative that doing anything different from the status quo scares them, but once we have social policies in place, people like them. Libraries, national parks, paved roads, garbage trucks, conservatives fought against every positive social policy, medicare, but then appreciated them once they were enacted.
I don’t mind people possibly being surprised at inflation if their basic financial expenses are covered.
We haven’t tried it yet, it works as expected in all the trials so far, just do it.
The mechanics of sensible ubi are straightforward: enough money or money/housing to ensure survival, public education, pay more to those who contribute more to society.
Nothing is perfect, but ensuring the health of the population and investing in their success is a much better model for progress and growth than the ridiculous she damaging disparity the states is investing in at the moment.
I’m watching bad ass right now, and while I love seeing Trejo on camera, I’m not super impressed with his acting here, or in any film I can really pin down....
It’s either machete or I have to watch him again in Desperado. I feel like in Desperado I was like “Oh yeah that is a murderer.” But he had to maintain that for the whole of machete.
I think humans are largely wired similarly and it’s mostly nurture that influences one’s “moral” compass.
I don’t think our morality is evolving in any meaningful way, but I am optimistic about our ethical development as a direct result of our increasing interconnectedness via travel technology and more significantly, social media/online news.
The invasion of Ukraine, for instance, is inciting a much stronger public global reaction than international conflicts historically have and I believe even twenty years ago(or less; Crimea), nobody would have cared that some faraway place was fighting another faraway place.
I think humanity and humans individually are developing empathy past our preoccupation with the monoculture we’re born into as a direct result of physical and digital proximity. Understanding and believing that we, all humans, humanity, are all related and connected is much more difficult to ignore or discount via ignorance these days, leading to a further-reaching awareness and empathy for situations distance may otherwise have preempted.
I don’t know about its origin, but as far as I understand people using the phrase, I think they just mean the potential for someone to do good regardless of the circumstances or consequences.
Faith in the character of every human to do good and achieve things.
Not metaphysical.
If you don’t have faith in humanity, it means you are cynical and you expect humans to take advantage of situations and act selfishly.
My mom has a hole in the ground that she puts her clothes drying hanger in. Like this. The hole in the ground is a 2" or so pipe, set in concrete. The pipe has filled with gravel. Anyone have a tip on getting the rocks out? I can only get so many out using my fingers and then trying to use a set of chopsticks.
Ha, I was going to say jerboa is my favorite so far.

What kind of things are making it unusable for you?
Inspired by a post that popped on lemmy world today about Weird Al it got me thinking. I listed out a bunch of names but the one that I think fits the most would probably be Surfan Stevens. Who do you all think?
I’m listening to blank check and they are harping on the racist aspects of the voice acting of nute gunray, watto and jarjar, but I unknowingly happened upon a long interview with the voice actor for jar jar a couple years ago, including the lead up to him getting the part and the character and voice development, and now it...
