What's going on in the world that is just as (if not more) important as Russia invading Ukraine?

It's more about combining the group's efforts & reminding each other there are still other matters that we need to focus on, beside Russian & Ukraine.

The world still spins, things still happen outside of the focal point the MSM wants us to be looking at.

Perhaps it's encouragement for others (maybe newbies) to create an account to post something they've read. There's no telling how one little post will inspire someone to share something more interesting.

More like what aren't we suppose to be looking at.

Yes. Big news makes great noise, but that's all it is. The answer is, I think, that we should tune out Russia-Ukraine altogether and look at other news.

It's easy to get sidelined by the prevalence of propaganda. It's easy for media to "hide" or "bury" other, relevant news by drowning it out by something they deem higher priority.

For all we know - an asteroid or aliens are visiting and the media wants us to look the other way, because if people learned of either of those things - I think it's fair to say people would lose their head.

Kazakhstan:

A total of 18 foreign nationals remain imprisoned in Kazakhstan for allegedly being involved in last month’s unrest that killed 225 people, according to the country’s human rights commissioner.

Holocough in NZ:

Information about confirmed and probable cases of COVID-19 in New Zealand.

Interesting stuff. Thank you, person.
