can you tell, I'm not a huge fan of the intercept. sometimes they do good reporting, sometimes less so like most mainstream media.

i'd rather give my time, money, and data to small local media like @oaklandside.org and @missionlocal.org

okay, email request pop up. maybe there is a way to close the pop up without entering your email, but why bother figuring out ui designed to collect your data when you can bypass it?

my tiktok bubble is way more left fringe than bluesky but also more approachable to those who don't consider themselves politically correct. and tiktok has a more mainstream audience than bluesky

tiktok is truly an enigma to me.........

So your average person is eventually convinced Oakland or the mission in SF is burning. That is what Zohran Mamdani will have to contend with, everyone with some sliver of wealth to lose being against him. Trump, Wall Street, the cops, FOX, The New Times, etc. etc..........

Your ave person catching a news story once in a while doesn't see the pattern where pro business politicians like SF Mayor Daniel Lurie get puff pieces, while anyone trying to change things for the better has news media, PR firms, businesses, and police conspiring to destroy their careers.
