“News” is a funny word. Say it 20 times and look at it for a minute and you will start to wonder if it’s a real word. By doing this I am trying to create self-induced wordnesia, according to the Smithsonian. Even if the word “news” doesn’t look funny after a while staring at it, the concept of news is very silly. It just means new stuff to talk about and share, which is basically everything that isn’t old news. Even old news is pretty popular. The Bible is old news. Everything is news. I am a reporter right now sharing the news by telling you this nonsense. If you reply back to me and tell me some news…you can also put on your Linkedin that you are a reporter. The news is just what someone is saying and you can pick who you want to listen to. My news is every 24 hours at 4:20 and today news is a friendly reminder that 2024 backwards is 420, too.
With Love,

Even yesterday’s pimp is today’s reporter of the news.
ChatCGPT says news is current events. Defined as ongoing and recent occurrences, typically within the realms of politics, society, culture, or other areas of public interest. These events are usually timely and have a significant impact on the present moment.
The thing is, news is actually propaganda if you do not have information on the topic on all sides and know the complete story.
That's very 420-friendly :0)
