Some stuff you should be watching:- China / Taiwan - Russia / Ukraine- Epstein deletions and findings - Minneapolis - Strait of Hormuz politics and economics- Lebanon - SAVE act and obviously related passport and ID invalidation hijinks.

@hacks4pancakes An excellent list. I somehow also managed to find time to keep up on "whatever the damn dog is up to over there" as well, but I think that may have exhausted my capacity. We'll soon see...

How does one watch all that while also watching one's mental and physical health?

The day I had surgery last week and was able to read very little news was probably the most relaxing day I've had all year

@hacks4pancakes And you left out global overheating/climate change

@hacks4pancakes and tech ceos being commissioned as ltc. It’s all something for sure.

@mossyrua@mastodon.ie Good for you.

[adamhotep@infosec.exchange]

@hacks4pancakes great list. Here's one more item that isn't getting enough attention: Sudan's famine and civil war. (Admittedly, this has less global impact, but it is among the worst suffering in the world right now.)

@adamhotep @hacks4pancakes I agree with you, but endless iteration over the list of immense suffering in the world is a quick path towards depression, and then nothingness

@codinghorror @hacks4pancakes While this is true, I worry about the trumpery in the news these days, like how the US has reached a new and dangerous level of ADHD; we invaded two nations simply to distract from the Epstein files.

(Yes, trumpery.) #uspol
