News always and only from reliable sources, and I decide what’s reliable — no right-wing bullshit, no Substack because fuck Nazis, and no RawStory, Newsweek, or other clickbait sites. Written news is preferred; video links will be rare, and damned near never to videos where a reporter or podcaster simply reads a script or does improv — that’s show biz, not news.
If you’re blocked from reading anything linked above, please let me know, and I’ll reply with the article’s complete text, via my computer’s fine ad-blockers and paywall-vaulters.
