  • I will legit try to find countries with constitutions and parliaments that I could relocate to to live and work. The American constitutional Republic will be over if Trump becomes President again.

    He’ll certainly start his retribution with the big fish of anti Trump people and organizations, but it won’t take long for it to “trickle down” to everyday people as well.

    I’m lucky enough that it’s feasible for me to find work in my field outside the US. Others aren’t so lucky.


  • This sort of depends on what you’re looking for.

    Do you just want a listing of facts with no analysis? Probably Reuters or Associated Press (AP).

    Do you want facts and context and minor analysis (like historical comparisons, etc.)? That’s gonna be BBC and NPR/PBS. Maybe The Economist.

    If you want deeper analysis or opinion… That’s gonna be tricky. Probably Al Jazeera, The Guardian (maybe), … I dunno if it’s possible to find one balanced need source that will have in depth analysis or opinion. Probably best to pick two that are about the same distance from “neutral” in either direction.



  • Our TV has a YT app on it and I never sign in. I have way better experience with it because it randomly suggests stuff that the algorithm would probably think isn’t something I like and yet it TOTALLY is something I like.

    This is the problem with all these attempts at AI. They don’t have the capacity to be actually random when they’re using large databases of accumulated input from us.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure the non logged in version I’m experiencing is also constrained by my prior choices, but it seems like the data they’re holding is much smaller which allows for better chances at a random find.

    Plus my kids get on there and search for their weird gamer streamer blah blah BS too which I’m sure really throws a curve ball.
