That's certainly quotes around a lot of things I didn't say. I admit I need to do a better job seeing past my own biases.

I also admit OPs posting pattern is materially irrelevant to the contents of the Washing Post article on its own. I was just pointing out a larger pattern within the c/worldnews community as a whole. In that context someone with an agenda can have influence.

But I'm not sure why I did. They seem like a nice person and post good faith articles. This was probably a misaimed shot on my part, true or not.

I didn't attack the source. I just pointed out that someone posting more than most on lemmy could push a certain point of view using any and all sources if they cherry pick.

If this is a play on my username, I laughed.

I actually read most of Nightowl's submissions for the reason you mention, to read outside my "narrative." But they have an agenda and people should know that.

As far as I can tell, this prolifically posting account has literally never posted an article that wasn't negative on Ukraine, and posts about 90% negative on the West in general. For whatever that's worth.

With this headline Bloomberg seems to be implicitly (borderline explicitly) saying that the wealth loss is tied to the war in Ukraine. Here is the actual report this article is based on:

https://www.ubs.com/global/en/media/display-page-ndp/en-20230815-global-wealth-report-2023.html

No mention of Ukraine. The wealth loss is tied to inflation, appreciation of the dollar to other currencies, and losses in the financial sector.

This has gotten fucking ridiculous. Move on.

They're implying people can go make an account on those other instances to continue to use lemmy. Smugly.

The fact that issuing this order publically is such an obvious BFLNN certainly raises the question, "Does Judge Cannon want to be removed from this case?"

Are there not... less publicly idiotic ways to do that?

I hope the January 6th trial moves quickly because she is absolutely going to delay this one as long as Trump wants, if not outright tank the case. Even if she's removed it starts the clock all over again. But I do look forward to another absolute smackdown from the 11th circuit. The last one was brutal and a great read.

The F16 will be vulnerable but not completely useless, as implied by the other post.
