Joe’s Private Space in Public

This site used to be my only social media but for a Bluesky account. I’m not a fan of social media, but our national news corporations in the United States are unreliable, to put it politely. Fortunately, every country in the world has at least one English news version online — I try to look at ten or twenty foreign papers across the UK, France, Germany, Japan, Phillipines, and Ukraine, to name a few. No, I do not read the articles in depth — there’s too much material for that — but one can get a sense of which direction the bullshit is flowing to and where it is flowing from. Didn’t know the International Criminal Court (ICC) just apprehended extra-judicial murderer Rodrigo Duterte while the Trump administration seeks to set him free? Our US media didn’t cover the story, but It was not unnoticed in Manila.
