When the people are disappeared for showing the slightest discontent to their government, it’s no surprise anything you read in the news wouldn’t be trustworthy.
I doubt that this survey method would show a true result too.
Feeling very alone, lots of sting emotions this week. But I’m slowly turning it around and getting things completed. Rough week, and trying to stay kind to myself. I haven’t gone to the gym or been outside, and eating junk. Hard habits to break when I get into a funk.
Got back from vacation yesterday. Today, the Blue Angels are practicing for their show (exhibition? Not really sure what they call it). Super fun to get to watch them play in the sky all day.
Gloves, long sleeves, and pants. You’ll need pull the roots out, or you’ll be “pruning” the poison more often than you’d want.
Poison ivy doesn’t like well manicured areas. If you’re walking through property that’s owned by others, I’ll make an assumption that you have permission. I’d talk to the owner and ask if you can take a weed whacker to the area around the path when it gets overgrown. Do that enough to keep it from overgrowing and it might find a new direction to grow.
It’s clever enough to show success in many countries and latch on to MAGA. They’ll use those countries as the experiment and use the successful methods in the countries they oppose.
I found it interesting that these programs are trying to unite the extreme right and extreme left together.
Being on the defense of these ever changing methods will exhaust us, and they will be successful if they keep at it long enough.
And most news papers were acquired by the same handful of media companies. In turn these companies ravaged local markets and there’s just no coverage of the actual truth, even on local happenings.
There’s an article about my hometown covered by NY times or something (I forget, it’s been a few years). We had a flourishing newspaper that employed a decent amount of the community, when that article came out (2010ish) the same company had 3 reporters and 5 staff.
The newspaper would cover legitimate issues locally and nationally. They had amazing journalists that promoted great things happening too (local studies, non profits doing the hard work to benefit the community, etc). Basically, the boring stuff that isn’t flashy enough for social media. And now it’s all gone.
I legitimately have a difficult time finding news stories on any platform that I can trust.
