So instead of watching the news every night, now I just consume a lot of weed every night. And turns out that as a substitute! That arrangement is so much more pleasant. I kinda miss Lawrence, he was my msnbc boyfriend. But I just cannot with cable news or legacy media anymore - ThreadSky

I haven't really touched the news since I moved out of my parents, so whenever I visit when it's on, it's infuriating

tedlouis.bsky.social•139 days ago

Good leftist news alternative. Kinda.

i swear vintage media is meant to keep us depressed and hurting

kita-kitsu.bsky.social•139 days ago

when you realize news is just propaganda and is better to go blind than go misinformed it gets real easy to ignore them.

cincinnatimatty.bsky.social•139 days ago

Same plus novels and Netflix unless I'm watching sports. No MSM in print or TV for moi anymore. Big life changes.

mistressmatisse.bsky.social•139 days ago

I hope good changes for you

cincinnatimatty.bsky.social•139 days ago

Def trying but def a challenge...still a roller coaster of emotions and thoughts but gotta make some positives out of this utterly disgusting situation we are in.

mistressmatisse.bsky.social•139 days ago

I’ve been watching strings and strings of documentaries, which at least makes me feel like I’m learning something

angelali42.bsky.social•138 days ago

I tend to follow a few ppl on YouTube like Phil defranco, David pakman, meidastouch, like that. And an hour of ctv news (Canada) every Monday at a clients lol

chandeeatscandy.bsky.social•138 days ago

I moved to the Philippines - booked my flight out the day after the election

mistressmatisse.bsky.social•138 days ago

I’m definitely exploring options like that 👍

crackpotartist.bsky.social•139 days ago

Agree

pstemari.bsky.social•124 days ago

Even the commentators i agree with are just too painful to watch these days.

stealthbomber.bsky.social•138 days ago

It's time to start reading books again, especially the "banned" ones.

mistressmatisse.bsky.social•138 days ago

Apparently we need to start reading them to other people too

lowendtheory.bsky.social•138 days ago

Yep, a nice news purge and detox can do wonders for your daily mental health. And when you feel ready to come back to it, you'll do so with more objectivity. And the smoking never hurts. News should inform, not trigger emotions.

abecedarian.bsky.social•139 days ago

Oh the loss of trust goes deep.

jitsysubguy.bsky.social•139 days ago

Get a sub to read you funny news stories as you smoke

roblikesmusic.bsky.social•139 days ago

I used to watch news at 9 years old, I graduated to cartoons and never looked back. Watch some anime, Death Note (2006) is quite nice

sciencechick.bsky.social•139 days ago

Nope. I cut the cable during the Afghanistan withdrawal and haven’t looked back. So much better for my cortisol levels

mistressmatisse.bsky.social•139 days ago

Ugh so much

leilamoon.bsky.social•138 days ago

I cut back since the election results. I needed to decompress and now I avoid most news altogether. I am like you, I rather smoke.

reknobel.bsky.social•139 days ago

I stopped watching TV News in 2016. Made a mistake watching it "Election Night" 2024. Have not missed a thing because if we need to know, we find out. Take care, MM!

slut.fyi•139 days ago

yeaaaaa, i don't watch any mainstream media any longer. i just can't

mistressmatisse.bsky.social•139 days ago

It’s like I need an edit that doesn’t have any of that fucking guy’s face or voice in it because I honestly cannot tolerate it

slut.fyi•139 days ago

mine was Maddow, before i realized that all of it is bullshit

mistressmatisse.bsky.social•139 days ago

A lot of of them are old enough to have started out before it was all quite such terrible, terrible shit - but they have to know now

slut.fyi•139 days ago

it has definitely gotten worse, but I don't know... people have an incredible capacity to rationalize

oldforger.bsky.social•139 days ago

Yeah, I'm right there with you on giving up on msm. I have not watched news willingly in years, and now avoid their websites as well. I look to Blooski for breaking news, and go to BBC and such for anything in depth. But no American media- they are all compromised.

dollaki.escort.social•139 days ago

Three cheers for breaking away!

mayawest.online•139 days ago

I also used to love Lawrence but I hear you on that

mistressmatisse.bsky.social•139 days ago

His lovely voice and elegant turn of shade! but just no

gr8rseapolycule.bsky.social•139 days ago

I watch the news much less, and instead have really weird dreams after smoking too much. There's a lady in my dreams who tells me I'm too tall for the mushroom hall.
