    Man I hate reading so many stories about individuals doing unspeakable shit to other individuals, especially when I’m not mentally prepared at this point in time. As far as I’m concerned there are 4 types of news for me:

    1. Horrific individual violence events (like this one)

    2. He said/she said (e.g. something happened in Germany, let’s hear what some Australian politician thinks about it… Also most of the shit Trump says because he mostly chickens out, or when Elon Musk rants)

    3. Gossip (e.g. British royal family drama, celebrity drama)

    4. Reported “big” events happening (a bomb has been dropped, someone has been elected, a law has been passed, a politician is convicted, etc)

    I want the 4th one and want some way to block the first 3 in my news feed. Mainstream reliable news sources also seem to be reporting more and more of the first 3 to keep up with social media news competition. I hate this shit.
