damn, I woulda posted that instead if I’d seen it lol

The Crown reported that Pickton told the officer that he wanted to kill another woman to make it an even fifty, and that he was caught because he was “sloppy”.

He will be up for parole in a few more years. Hopefully they recognize that he is at high risk of killing another woman if they let him out.

I’m so sick of corporations expanding into other areas, fuck off CNN

Wow, thank you for the history lesson! I had no idea of the surrounding context of the artist and politics at the time. This has always been one of my favorite paintings.

Awesome, glad to hear it. Hopefully the mirrors will go down as well? Though I suppose it doesn’t matter if they can’t post to it anymore, it will fade away

I can still see all the hateful posts, is that just me?

It’s full of LGBTQ+ hate as well, fuckin gross

Yes, I should have clarified, that’s why I put “both sides” in quotes.

Are you on mastodon? It doesn’t rely on an algorithm, so people feel free to post how they like instead of trying to tailor their posts to draw the most engagement. I’m still on the hunt for good YT and Instagram replacements, I know there are a few but I’ve been more focused on building up my lemmy/mastodon experience for now. I also joined an instance that avoids defederation as much as possible, so I will see more posts from a variety of viewpoints.

As for news/information, Reuters, PEW Research, and C-SPAN are my go-to’s. I recently discovered Improve The News, which I like quite a lot as it provides the perspective from “both sides”.

I still have more than enough content than I could ever consume in my life, even with eliminating click-bait. There are plenty of people with a wide variety of opinions and viewpoints that are able to convey their messaging without emotional manipulation, tons that I disagree with and/or that provide new perspectives. If you primarily use YouTube, I can see why you would think 99% of people do this, but it’s fairly localized to YT and similar sites.

Yes, it’s why I generally dislike YouTube. I really don’t appreciate the emotional manipulation. It’s also why I try to find unbiased news sources that don’t editorialize to me, I can’t stand clickbait in any form. I like communities like these that help filter out click-bait garbage and instead promote content that is good on its own, instead of content that relies on emotional manipulation.

I HATE titles like these with a PASSION, titles DESTROYED with FEELINGS
