So, spent a good part of today feasting on @Nonilex 's incredible summary of the closing arguments in Trump's election fraud trial (which starts here: https://masto.ai/@Nonilex/112518916293502819), then tried to watch a bit of CNN and MSNBC. My gosh, cable news is awful! These folk's repeat ad nauseum the same vapid observations, and do little to explain what actually transpired. After 15 minutes, turned it off and went back to Mastodon. Thank you Nonilex and Laffy (@GottaLaff)! Truly amazing job these last weeks.

Seconded with gusto. For those of us from afar, concise summaries from @GottaLaff and @Nonilex paint an accurate picture of events in court, with added colour.

@mastodonmigration aside: Since the web, I just really rebelled against a system that only tells you the news when they feel like it. What a waste of otherwise productive time!
