I wish we could stop using terms like “blasts”, “slams”, etc in the news.
I feel like it’s hard to take even very serious things seriously when it sounds like middle school me drafted it.

I added content filters for those silly words, no posts with them present appear for me anymore.

Forgot to add one for “blasts,” only “blasted.” Now I’m replying from my inbox because the post will no longer load. I love keyword filters!

Gonna go put some of these buzzwords alongside my US politics filter words
