Despite, only this year they will finally make the bald eagle the national bird. Which, I also learned that they are not official symbols until a President signs a document for them to be. It is just a recognized symbol but not official. (Just my opinion but why do they really need a bill for this? What changes would making anything like this official really do?)

Here is a list of other US symbols (article includes links to other countries of the world national symbols, some official, some not made official) if you are interested:

    There’s plenty of great journalists in DC.

    Fewer and fewer at the bigger outlets. They’ve been pivoting aggressively to AI.

      Sure, why would you read corporate media?

      If you choose to consume food from a trash can, you should be realistic about what you expect to be eating.

        why would you read corporate media?

        It’s saturated the market. Very hard to miss.

        If you choose to consume food from a trash can

        Very few people choose to eat from the trash can. More often, they eat from the trash can because no other food is available.
