Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It doesn't have to be forced ignorance. I still follow the TLDR news and sister channels. They present a summary of a few key issues quite well. I know about the political parties I support and will vote in an election. I have an app for breaking news headlines (I just look at the headlines for just urgent breaking news.....but I've uninstalled this recently).

Mainstream news I have no interest in following anymore. Especially since they've pivoted to reporting on "this person said this dumb thing on social media" and "royal family/celebrity does some dumb shit".

I would also recommend using RSS for news if you have to. Subscribe to only what you want. Get news in chronological order rather than their bullshit prioritisation. Set blacklist filter words (I used to have a news RSS with a blocklist as long as my arm.....Trump, Gaza, COVID, Ukraine, Musk, Twitter, Facebook, etc etc). But now I've uninstalled this too.
