Man, I’m with you! A lot of people are commenting that you should just curate your feed - man, that means unsubscribing from news and politics. I mean there are a lot of other countries news I’m interested in seeing. And I already have an app that lets me filter out content based on keywords and my feed is still filled with US content.

The amount of US content is just overwhelming and it’s freaking everywhere. I know I’m not alone in frankly having had enough of it.

Can’t people post this stuff into dedicated US communities?

I like your style.

This guy just needs to let this go! He’s wasting his life on this. Even if he finds it in the next decade - honestly I’m not sure it’s worth it.

Upvote for Tremors which has to be the best awful movie I’ve ever seen. Like, so bad it wraps around and becomes great.

Non-American here. This actually goes a long way in helping me to avoid US-centric news and content for the next 4 years. So, there’s that.

Whoa! No that’s not what I got at all! And if you click into what looks like a still image you’re suddenly in a feed of videos. Who knows what their UX is doing.

Isn’t this a screenshot from Twitter/X?! So - probably a bot.

I’m not American, but downloaded RedNote (Little Red Book) to see what the fuss was about and it’s been a charming experience. I’m particularly loving the cooking videos!

Very very interesting to see normal Americans and normal Chinese people have discussions together on a social media app. And for them to show each other “slice of life” videos. Probably the first time that this has ever happened?

Utterly hilarious situation, tbh.

What a great idea - thank you!!

TIL that lead pipes carrying drinking water are still used in the States.

Suddenly SO MUCH makes sense.

Native English speaker here - my English teacher at school always used to say that in order to write well, you need to read well.

That probably doesn’t help you in the short term, however! But, yes - finding “good” authors you enjoy is a good way to go.

Can confirm - my husband and I started reading to each other years ago. It’s not all the time, maybe a couple of books a year, but always on holiday - it’s an awesome way to be together rather than each stuck into your own book world.

Would recommend!

Reminds me of the Netflix show “American Factory” about a Chinese factory opening in the US.

Quite a fascinating clash of cultures.
