I am planning to incorporate a feature into the bot that consistently posts news stories concerning the U.S., sourced from reputable outlets like Jacobin and Democracy Now. This feature is intended to offset the surge of more trivial content that often trends on social media and is automatically picked up.
Despite everything I have tried it still favors a lot of garbage stories.

I remember when people tried to blame herbicide for this. And if they banned it, NOTHING would have been done to help these workers.
Chasing the wrong claim because of your ideology helps nobody. See also mercury in vaccines and other RFKJr top hits.
We exist because we exist. That's life. We make our own meaning. When I finally realized no #god or #afterlife exists, life became more—not less—precious.
Since non-existence is the norm, we should make the most of our few decades of existence. Because that's all we have.
I'm agnostic, too. Neither of us can *know* whether a #god exists. If you don't hold a *belief* that one does, you are an atheist.
We can't *not* act based on our inner moral compass, which I think evolved in our thinking social species for its survival benefit. "Do unto others" makes evolutionary sense and long pre-dates religions.
The idea of an #omniscient #god completely obliterates the idea of human free will. #ThinkAboutIt
