Gowwd… this so resonated with me. Like a cathedral bell inside my head, banging me into some awakened state. It’s slowly dawning on me that it’s time for another change in the way I live my life. Here I was thinking, I got this. I know what’s going on and I’m prepared for it. I have skills enough to recognise what it’s doing to me. Well, let me tell you. No matter how prepared and skilled you think you are, you can be fooled given enough time. As an unlikable army intelligence instructor I once had to endure was fond of saying: ‘The system, given enough time and resources, will always break you.’ And it’s hard these days to recognised, among all of those we’re subjected to, which system is brainwashing because there’s so much noise generated around it.

“Thinking and writing have become harder. It’s as if the neurons in my brain don’t connect with each other in quite the same way. I go to check a fact and get instantly diverted by a hundred other distractions on my phone. I find myself unable to devote time to thinking and writing like I used to.” (Source: https://www.theguardian.com/media/ng-interactive/2026/may/06/how-to-survive-the-information-crisis-we-once-talked-about-fake-news-now-reality-itself-feels-fake )

Oh, and that Intelligence Instructor… the British officer? I guess he’d be long gone by now. He seemed unhealthy to me at the time, both in body and mind.

How to survive the information crisis: ‘We once talked about fake news – now reality itself feels fake’

In this age of crisis, technology is pulling us apart. At its best, journalism can bring us together again, writes Guardian editor-in-chief Katharine Viner

The #media isn't doing #NewSpeak but #NewsSpeak so far, right?

I'm catching a train today, with a service not affected by strikes.

The announcements at the station about cancelled trains don't mention #TrainStrikes instead saying "too many trains are needing repairs"

What is this, a authoritarian state with Orwellian #NewsSpeak announcements?

Next they'll be serving us #SoylentGreen

Azerbaijan has said it wants to “reintegrate” the Armenian population but has not presented any plan for doing so or for safeguarding their rights.

In areas of #Artsakh / Nagorno-Karabakh that it has previously retaken, #Azerbaijan has encouraged Azerbaijanis to come resettle and some #Armenian cultural sites have been erased or damaged.

words like …"resettle"… and …"some" doing a LOT of work in that #newsspeak
