Wildfire skies in California from all the smoke. Fires, plagues, locusts, a coming asteroid fly by in November. I dont see those guys walking around with those signs proclaiming biblical times and the end is near as much we used to. They'd have a more compelling case now.

Because! That's why!
Even the guys with "the end is nigh" signs know that it was a couple morons that started the wildfires with a gender reveal party and not the devil.

He turned his back on acting too except for an ET super bowl commercial
Said no one ever.
38 years old and I still feel like I'm living my life like a headless chicken.

He's not bad in the Haunting of Hill House series that came out 2 years ago.
Also acting in the anthology sequel The Haunting of Bly Manor coming out in October.

That bent neck lady stuff was a trip. Really loved that series. I'll watch anything by Mike Flanagan now, which is why I'm pretty hyped for Bly Manor.

Hey man, it’s a cool club. Grab a seat. Oh...oh right...let me get that for you. Right here brother. There you go. So do you remember what happened right before you lost your head? Oh...oh right. Well never mind that. Just enjoy the company.

None of us know what we're doing.
Adulting is just learning how to look like you know what's going on.

Yeah that's one of the biggest hurdles in the "Information age"...sorting through all the information and having the ability to determine which is the correct/factual information and which are the lies. It's really confusing people at the moment.
Better education needed. As much as I love the movie Idiocracy, I don't want to see a sequel based on reality.
I recently made the decision to stay off social media as much as possible. Ah..that's much better.

Well, not when it comes to basic facts and stats. Interpretation of said facts and stats are in the eye of the beholder, but to have a meaningful interpretation we need to start with the base facts. If those are incorrect, then no amount of interpretation can be taken in good faith for the same reason that you can't build a house on a crumbling foundation.

Where can you find the facts these days? Everything's become editorialized. The best I've been able to do is go straight to Reuters.

Wire services like Reuters, Canadian Press and Associated Press tend not to overly editorialize information. Primary sources like StatsCan and research papers are good too. And in the vast majority of news stories, podcast segments or TED talks where there IS editorializing and slant, they still cite the source of their data. It's becoming harder and harder to get just the basic facts without being told how to think about them, but it's still possible with a bit of research and critical thinking.

That's what I thought initially, but BBC is increasingly focusing on click-bait individual and sensational "stories" and anecdotes, so I've had to move on from there as well.

True, but not too bad, IMO
I like their in depth stuff and I also like their daily side stories

Reuters and AP are good
I also use BBC and a bit of CBC (mostly for Canadian stuff). Sometimes I'll watch a DW video on YouTube as well.
