Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

A growing number of americans don't read newspapers. They get their news from online influencers. The right dominates the online ecosystem. (lemmy.world)

One more thing to add is lot of non-US right wingers watch stuff like Rogan and Carlson. If you want I can point you to an Indian tech forum where you'll see users parroting exact same points.

That does not the case with leftists/progressives/liberals. If they're not American, they don't see any reason to watch Trevor Noah or Colbert cause they'll be more concerned about local politics.

I myself used to keep up with US politics before the orange turd came back for the second time. Now I've cut it down drastically. Only John Oliver's episode I saw this season was for AI.
