I pick and choose what news interests me ... much in today's world doesn't. They're far more into good old fashion entertainment and gossip then they are into actual news. You would think with the 24 hour news cycle we have that the airwaves would be filled with every imaginable news story out there, but no ... it's a 24 cycle of the same irrelevant stories repeated ad nauseam. Mostly politics ... as if politics really matter to anyone outside a select few. All I want is to be left alone ... I don't give a rats ass what some BS politician has to say about just about anything. Do your job, damn it, go away ad don't bother me with your petty nonsense. That, and much of news is simply indoctrination into whatever PC cultists ideas are supposedly culturally correct at the moment ... I'm sick of it all, but I watch some of the circus.
I just couldn't keep pretending I gave a shit. I eventually found I'd rather do other stuff.
When I do submit news links, they're for certain styles of things - and I have to go look for 'em. I forage for 'em, so to speak.
I do sometimes like the local court news and arrest notices. That's how I keep up with my friends!
LOL!
I'm only partially joking. I really do sometimes catch up on them and that's where all the amusing news is anyhow.
The county sheriff's log is fucking hilarious.
They patrol Farmington at night and some cop walks a beat and checks all the doors on the stores.
At least once a week, sometimes more often, they find a few completely unlocked. Even the bank has been left unlocked.
Cops are also unable to apprehend a motorist, quite frequently. 'Snot surprising, really. It cracks me up.
