Same. Though can we also add a button to hide all content pertaining to US state politics? "The governor of Arkansas-" I live in The Netherlands, that shit has no bearing on me

Well, since we're here, what are the big news where you live these days?
The Central Government (federal government) just passed a new data protection law, and has introduced new laws to replace the criminal justice laws (crimes, punishments, procedures, evidence, trials).
The data protection law gives way too much power to the Central Government, and they can basically exempt anyone and anything from the law.
The current criminal laws have slowly evolved with a lot of debate since the late 1800s. The new criminal laws seem rushed.
Tbf, that could be a summary for most countries of the planet right now.
