It's not the most effective solution

Hey, that's how I find out the world news nowadays. Submarine implosion, armed rebellion, mysterious plane crash, those all came through.

I learnt about COVID from a Doge meme.
- Weird. I learned about doge memes from COVID.
It's a nice way to receive news, for sure.

When I worked at Google I would literally check the internal meme site to see if there was an outage. It was at least as reliable as the official channels.

Any cool vintage memes to post?
- Nah, they were considered confidential, and for the most part they were inside jokes anyway.

And comments of said memes

News site don’t make it very easy either. Ads galore.

just use unblock origin
- I wish there was something like based.cooking but for news, but the fact is that giournalism is biased in general, so I still would have to look for other sources

- Using Mozilla Firefox on my iPhone :/

Hey! A fellow club member! It's not effective, sure; but it's all that's standing in the way of a full-on mental breakdown... Again.

is that Drake who famously tries to groom Mille Bobby Brown?

well OP you probably don't want to use the Pedo as a mem template

I thought it was just op being meta
I don't get my news from memes.

I get them from comments on the memes.

Highly recommend to do "news breaks".

I really feel better since I started avoiding the news. I just read the headlines of some notifications on my phone and it's enough for me.

I feel almost as great as when I ditched Facebook a long time ago.

Makes you realize how heavy the news can be to moral.

Like the recent headlines about subsidized oil being very much a thing now. This is so very deeply disturbing I just can't handle it. And I just read the headline I can't even imagine reading a full article explaining to me that we are getting worse for climate change. We indeed are accelerating toward the cliff.

Still, I feel still so much more relaxed not watching the news on any kind of video platform.

Try it.

While I agree that getting bullied in the news cycle is not healthy, I feel like getting the information about what's going on around you from memes is also not good. It lacks context and details to enable the user from processing the news with critical thinking. I don't know what the answer is, but for people who exercise their power of a vote, I feel like they need to be as knowledgeable about the issues as possible.
In can't agree more. I pretty much eliminated any real in depth reading of any article. Most are just plastered in ads. I see a headline that catches my interest, then I do an actual Google search for more information rather than go to the news page.

Omg so relatable fuck

You're a pedophile?

"Give me the bad news but gently"

Maybe we need a news network that just delivers everything in meme format.

Edit: on second thought, that would probably blow.
- I feel like that used the be the Daily Show/Colbert Report, then it became Late Night with Seth Meyers and the Tonight Show with Stephen Colbert in addition to TDS.
  
  But now we have nothing.

- Last Week Tonight, or Some More News?

"Hol' up, Trump actually got booked?"

I had to go look it up after the mugshot memes popped up. Lol

I stick with apnews

Surprisingly not terrible at least some of the time
- I mean, I suppose you have to be pretty good at what you do if everyone's copying their homework off you.

OP make so many memes that they are clearly the making the news

I am in this picture and I feel offended.

I am in this picture and fully support the meme based news cycle.

If you live in a country where the government bribes all the media, this and Twitter(/Xcrement) or whatever you can find on Mastodon is basically all you can find

Just give me the bullet points, thanks.

That sounds like you want Reuters or ap news then.

Mexico found aliens..... again.

And the bots in the Tech comm - one fetches 👽🤢 trending news articles, and the TLDR one bypasses the paywall 🏴‍☠️😎

It's not the most effective solution
