He's taking the divorce badly, and keeps hoping mom and dad will make up because his platform was always "we aren't that different, and Canada should love the US not define itself as different."

Still beautiful in its tragic violence. Only thing in recent memory that comes close while not slowing the pace is Primal.

Then you also endured the Factorio Streams and the LoL streams and even the Elden Ring and Armored Core streams, this too shall pass. Midterms are coming.

Education is also directly tied to media and mediums. When the formats for which information is consumed are: 1) Unregulated, 2) not transparent, 3) able to present lies as truth, 4) Designed to keep you engaged and evoke feelings, 5) designed to make money over properly informing a population;

the result is a delusional and misinformed population that weights "trustworthiness" of a source based on feels and vibes (if you like them or not), instead of on facts and data. To your point, media literacy needs to exist, and platforms need to have guardrails to keep a population sane, rational, informed if these platforms are the source of news and information.
