@stux@mstdn.social@ezra woahh! Daily Show? Looking at the bg 
@stux close! last week tonight
@ezra aaah almost!
⏚ ⸫ @stux @ezra "Last week tonight" is a weekly show (as the name implies) 
Highly recommend! There's an official Youtube channel and an unofficial Peertube mirror https://tube.fede.re/videos/watch/bd393b61-b19d-4681-a7df-6a7977ae4b32
@ScriptFanix@maly.io @stux@mstdn.social @ezra@wetdry.world I don't really recommend Last Week Tonight as your accurate source of news but if you view as television meant for entertainment it is decent I guess.
@SuperDicq @stux @ezra If it is your single source of information, you're in trouble. If you have other, reliable sources of informations, and you want to spend 30 minutes a week laughing at John Oliver's jokes on debilitatingly bad news, then LWT is highly recommended.
Overall, having a single source of information is always a bad idea.
@ScriptFanix@maly.io @stux@mstdn.social @ezra@wetdry.world I never said single source, I said accurate.
Having a single source is always bad indeed.
@SuperDicq @stux @ScriptFanix @ezra I'll digress but this remark inspired me to write that in everyday conversations I often notice that people return what I've just said as they envision and not what I factually said. I ignore if this 'attention deficit' is a psychological or an ego issue and if it results from overuse of digital tools in contemporary culture.
Rum to note it also takes place in written communication.
That said, I don't believe that anyone is having a single source of information nowadays, more of an information overflow (probably with bias by choice of most consulted sources); a bit like in an RSS reader.
I ranted enough now.
Have a nice week.
Hi! Isn't the strategy that this image describes basically the same thing that Tucker Carlson employed for a decade, managing to shift all of global politics rightward? If pointing out a lot of issues (in our case, symptoms of capitalism, in Carlson's, fake nazi culture war topics) and leaving their common cause as an exercise for the viewer worked out so well for them, why couldn't it work for us?
If Fox News viewers could synthesize the current strain of genocidal fascism that rules the US from "woke trees" I think HBO viewers can synthesize capitalism being bad from the things Oliver points out.
@AppleAmps@seafoam.space I don't consider Tucker Carlson responsible for the shift of all of global politics lol lmao
