Fox News appears to have removed their DOW ticker in a pattern for the company, choosing to block out the steep drop in DOW points after Trump’s tariff announcement
War is peace. Truth is lies.
and now Wealth is Poverty
Beans are eggs

But I’d realize all of this is insane shit even if I didn’t hear about it daily.
Well feigned ignorance can totally be a strength, but actual ignorance is only worth your luck or others’ protective instinct
It is so much easier and comfortable to just close your eyes to the troubles of the world, but it also means that you won’t see what’s coming and will not be able to act. So this sort of sensory overload with negativity and craziness is kinda the point. The more people are tuned out and overwhelmed, the easier it is for assholes like Musk and Trump to push their agenda through. It’s also talked about in 1984, where the quote comes from

I think the other famous one applies even more:
—George Orwell, 1984.
