It’s how I figured out Henry Kissinger died, so it can’t be all that bad.
Pros: You get to see people doing what is right when this news drops, celebrating, instead of a bunch of liberal garbage about “remembering a great statesman.”
Cons: You don’t get to hear if he suffered properly.
Same!
Sorry for the Twitter link, but it’s worth the click
Edit: guess I broke the link and I don’t know how to fix it, sorry
Cheers mate (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
Just read the regular news first and guess which of them will become a meme. Twice the fun.
Other way around: check the memes first, read and watch more in debt about the subject matter that warrants it.
If I had found out about Kissinger from the regular news rather than lemmy, I would have had to slog through a hundred articles by idiots and cowards calling him a genius before I got to the correct take from Rolling Stone:
I live in northern Europe. I like to time how long it takes for the news that became memes hit the news over here.
It’s between three days and two weeks.
too much clickbait and paid content for me to enjoy regular news. news lemmy is at least readable
When I read the regular news, I still have to come here to see the meme spin on current events.
Tbh I get soooo fucking anxious when I read the regular news. I really need the funny/sarcastic of the meme to breach a new shitty topic before I can read an article about it.
This is how we take over democracy
Same here
