Sing it with me Billy Joel:

Harry Potter, DSA, pinkwashing, Lana Del Rey.
Vaccines, drag queens, trans teens, Sleepy Joe.
Secret pedophile rings. England’s got a new king.
We didn’t start the fire.

War is spreading in the Middle East. Covid is spreading in the Midwest. Russian bots are trying to disrupt the election, Eric Adams has been indicted, and Kamala is brat. Brat is now political. Lockheed Martin is now “extremely woke.” Hurricane conspiracy theories flood the Southeast and spread like wildfire in Hawaii. Disaster capitalists laugh all the way to the bank while desperate activists share mutual aid pleas on social media. Or are they really all Antifa super-soldiers?

You can’t trust what you see online. Facebook is full of Russian propaganda. TikTok is full of Chinese propaganda. TruthSocial? Definitely a bastion of unbiased facts. You can’t trust the lamestream media or the lyin’ New York Times. Fox News is no longer even pretending to be “fair and balanced.” The BBC got inundated with complaints about bias in their coverage of the war in Gaza, half saying they were too pro-Israel, the other half saying they were too pro-Palestine.
