We haven’t even made it to January 20 (Trump inauguration). We already have major fires in our second largest city, terrorist attacks, talk of invading Greenland/Panama/Canada. almost no one talking about what we really need to do to cut carbon. Hospitals are full in my area and people talk about washing hands, but not about masking. I am already so weary. I don’t know what is going to happen after January 21.

      Add in “succinctly explains” too. That’s shorthand for “reduces complex issue to a paragraph”.

        Paragraph? This is Trump we’re talking about. He can’t hold a thought for longer than two sentences, max.

          I wasn’t talking about him, but more other people who - if you see a headline of “XY succinctly summarizes [issue]”, all it will be is distilling a messy, nuanced topic down to “You should feel A,” often with ragebait to convince you.

      “Goes to war with” might not be a great idea to filter on, because that fuckin imbecile will very probably start an actual war with a country that can hit back, now that he’s emptying out all of the career + nonpolitical people in the state department, DoD, and alphabet agencies who stopped him from doing that last time.

        Probably, but the headline will start with "US invades“ or "US demands“ or something along the line. Filtering out anything that starts with “Trump” is safe
