"Hey Joe, you remember that time your weird-ass ex gave us creepy art and some pagan shit for Christmas?"

"Shhh, she's in the room."

Like Walmart, I'm already preparing Christmas stuff. Or Solstice, whatever. Will have a sappy message of Universal peace across all religions from Hades, one of the mythological reasons for all the seasons. And a rainbow skull. Will get them scanned in about a week.

It's nearly 2am, just a few days until Halloween, so naturally I'm awake and listening to relaxing spa music while planning my family's Christmas cards. I'm thinking block printing something that I will then attach a poem to about the true meaning of Christmas, from Hades's POV. Each card will have unique details in the art. They will either love them or hate them, lol.

Tonight's dinner is rehydrated chicken salad with a selection from my indoor salad bar containing dandelion, plantain, chickweed, violets, and yarrow. I'm eatin' like it's the apocalypse :)

It's wild how reading the news and seeing the e. coli stuff is making me crave McDonald's.

@tippitiwichet Best thing I have found is Ground News, which acts as a hub for all the sources and rates them according to bias. At least you know what you are getting. There is a subscription but you can also use it for free.

Okay, so I'm poor and only do one news subscription. Since the Post ain't it anymore, what's the best source for balanced reporting? Like, actually balanced, not "Nazis should have free speech too". I need something that will help me talk to people in a red state about current events without pissing them off. Does that exist anymore?

I am actually a little happy Bezos decided to be a dick today, because when I start trying to convince people in my (red) area to critically think their news sources, I can now say I get my news from a source that refused to endorse Harris. I can now really walk them through the steps of "consider your source" combined with "everyone has a bias".
