We will not survive this without some sort of information dissemination network. However, the current one has been failing for awhile and this week it seems the shitty breaks are finally giving way. https://www.garbageday.email/p/yeah-it-s-probably-time-to-panic

The problem as I see it is that traditional news reporting requires a trust that has deteriorated. Absent trust we need reporting that's more transparent, without being a bag of data that everyone needs to assemble into their own incorrect takes. Experts have some context that's necessary to assemble the truth, but it's mixed together with other context thats been poisoned by various sources. Without formats and tools for filtering the valuable context from the poisonous, we have to choose between ignorance and deception.
This reads like TDS deflected toward "the media." Poor guy. 😔
