I am in this picture and I feel offended.
I am in this picture and fully support the meme based news cycle.
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.
“Hol’ up, Trump actually got booked?”
I had to go look it up after the mugshot memes popped up. Lol
Just give me the bullet points, thanks.
That sounds like you want Reuters or ap news then.
News site don’t make it very easy either. Ads galore.
just use unblock origin
Using Mozilla Firefox on my iPhone :/
Wait there’s Firefox on iPhone?
of course there is
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
does iOS not allow extension?
I think some browsers do, but Firefox does not
of course they only allow them on safari
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
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!
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!
You don’t really even need that, just a simplified page most of the time.
“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.
Last Week Tonight, or Some More News?
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.
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
Mexico found aliens… again.
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.
And the bots in the Tech comm - one fetches 👽🤢 trending news articles, and the TLDR one bypasses the paywall 🏴☠️😎
When I worked at Google I would literally check the internal meme site to see if there was an outage. It was at least as reliable as the official channels.
Any cool vintage memes to post?
Nah, they were considered confidential, and for the most part they were inside jokes anyway.
Fair fair. What kind of formats did y’all use
Off the top of my head, I remember a lot based on Scumbag Steve, the Socially Awkward Penguin, Skeptical African Kid, Woody Harrelson wiping away tears with money, “So I’ve got that going for me, which is nice” from Caddyshack, “I’m the captain now”, “That’s a bold move, Cotton”, and whatever this is. Mostly it was the same stuff the rest of the internet uses with a few that were pretty obscure outside Google. Oh and way more animated gifs than you see elsewhere.

I stick with apnews
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.
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
And comments of said memes
That’s where the finer details are for sure
