Hello HN,

This a small side project I built a few months ago and I find myself using it quite often to stay up to date so I thought I should share.

Its updated every few hours.

Feedback welcome.

Perhaps one piece of news seems to be positive and most seem about death and war. I respect the site and effort but I would worry about putting myself in such a headspace. There is positive stuff in this world too just don't lose sight of it!

There are several genocides happening in the world, hearing that people die during genocides shouldn't be particularly surprising, right?

Given the magnitudes of those involved, it seems likely they'd fill the headlines.

That said, perhaps you meant, "I would prefer to not know" or "I would prefer to not be reminded" about these genocides?

The climate would be more important. Global economy. Local issues. All more relevant and important to someone not directly affected by one of those wars.

Imagine thinking a genocide was not relevant to you... "[Country Name] is eradicating [type of people]" requires a level of state power that is globally impactful. The US, for instance, is party to some of these genocides. If you are a US citizen, you are directly affected -- your taxes, your representatives, your opportunity costs, etc. are being used to eradicate [type of people] rather than something beneficial. Same if you are basically anywhere in the world.

You aren't disconnected from those things.

And you're likely bankrolling those things with your taxes.

So yeah, keep yourself and your government accountable.
