i feel so bad for nikola tesla like imagine spending years beefing with a guy who has conned the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and you end up dying broke and starving and alone and then 100 years later another guy cons the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and he's doing it all IN YOUR NAME. he must be rolling in his grave like a fucking rotisserie chicken

Btw you do NOT need to read the news to help people
You can do all of these things without reading the news:
Go to protests
Volunteer
Join a mutual aid network
Write to your representatives
Donate
Clean up trash and pollution
Curate and provide resources for your community
Citizen science/citizen history projects to help the environment/etc.
Much, much more
Reading the news is not a moral obligation. Following people whose posts make you spiral is not a moral obligation.
I am more able to help people when I don't regularly read the news. I volunteer more. I go out early to go weed invasive species at a nature reserve. I have more capacity to support my friends and the people I care about.
I have more energy to work on this blog, for that matter. (Obviously I regularly read a lot of good news. Which I recommend. The rest of this post is about normal news, which highly rewards negative content.)
You cannot pour from an empty vessel.
What matters is doing something to help.

musk is going to die in a Tesla explosion in 6 months after sticking his nose where it doesn't belong and we will never get a conclusive answer on whether it was a CIA car bomb or just a normal Tesla malfunction
