That’s because the All Lives Matter and Back The Blue squads are silent right now. Black Twitter is blowing up over it.

TIL People think reporting on news should include making solutions.

I think that the internet has degenerated from an awesome place to connect and share information and knowledge to a shitty for-profit pool of information-polluted-by-advertisement place.

It's a travesty but it is weird how this current protest does not include BLM in it

What are the 5?
I want to know if I am one of the unwashed masses.
Edit: Now what I want to know is - what is the best way to use the internet? (also posting as a stand alone question.)

That’s because nobody wants to watch fair and unbiased news, as much as they claim to want it.
PBS Newshour is pretty good. For print media, Reuters and AP are pretty good.
The thing is, all of those news sources are boring. They’re boring because the news is often boring. That’s how it should be. But people would rather watch the thing that makes them angry than watch the thing that makes them bored.

The news can suck it. Never brings good to the screen. Always bad shit. I remember when the news used to report on fun things. Now it’s all depressing.

Seriously. I don't know the actual ratios but I think technically more white people are killed by police every year but with the proportion to population is higher percentage of blacks. Something like that. I don't know.

If you shine a bright light at your eyelids, I guess you can see the blood vessels. Otherwise there’s no light hitting your retina so you can’t “see” anything
