Find your local news sources, whatever they are, and add ALL of them. You can usually filter by local news so you don't get a bunch or repeat national/international news.

Aside from that - this is a decent list to start from.

So the exact same thing people have been saying for decades.

I feel like this comment exaggerates how far the human eye can perceive into the universe. Anything you can see with your eyeball is only as far as a few hundred light years, which means it would be extremely unlikely that any star you can see is significantly different in location "now" than when the light emitted.

Also it would be extremely unlikely for any star you can see with your eyes to have died between the time light is emitted and when you experience it.

That's a different story for things you can see through a telescope, or through a camera, but just looking up... Those points of light are pretty close and extremely bright stars.

You do point out the light from the stars dim due to inverse square law, but don't forget they also red-shift due to the expansion of the universe. The cosmic microwave background radiation didn't start as microwaves, it started as red visible light that slowly red shifted into the infrared, then into microwave.

I recently subscribed. It's only $3/mo so it's really inexpensive, but also it feels like it's just a heavily curated YouTube.

There's nothing I've found on nebula that's not also on YouTube. The only real benefit (to me, not the creators) is that there's no sponsorship in the video.

That being said, the app isn't as polished and I feel like I'm just remembering which creators I follow on both and when I see a new video from one of them in YouTube, I flip to nebula to watch it, then go back to YouTube for my other subscriptions.

The feds cut services but not taxes, which means when the states have to fill in the gaps this is going to be a big tax increase.

We need these services, so the tax increases are not optional. We're getting screwed by the feds wasting money on racism instead of kindness.

That's a red herring. Also, the science doesn't match the fear. Anyone on hormonal blockers to transition to female no longer has a biological advantage.

It's the same old racist, sexist, other-ist argument disguised as fairness.

Things look WAY different when you don't have glaring city lights obscuring all the other stars around it.

When you look up, you only see the stars that capitalism hasn't stolen from you yet.

That's illegal under the ACA. That USED TO be the case, but now it's the opposite. Once you hit a certain amount per year, you're no longer on the hook for anything covered.

Cause things get named CENTURIES before we understand them, and as we learn more, sometimes it makes sense to rename them, sometimes it is so engrained in daily life nobody would use the new names.

This guy actually rolled his own internal home cableTV broadcast, which does exactly what you're asking.

The same folks that expected Trump to release the Epstein files also wanted US money out of the Ukraine conflict.

They should be double mad now.
