Editorial notes

Needs far more coverage for the Ethiopia-Tigray conflict that has seen estimated 600,000 people slaughtered, possible ethnic cleansing involved, mass war crimes like rape, 2 million people and counting displaced, hundreds of thousands facing starvation, journalists being suppressed,[1] scant coverage in "Western" media(!!!!!!!!!!) despite being one of the deadliest atrocities in the 21st century(!!!!!!!!!!!)[2][3][4]

Nope! It doesn't help I'm not really subscribed to anything (and why should I when I need to vet multiple sources) and I don't follow news much to begin with outside of word from Discord and other communities. I only knew about Ethiopia because I read some articles bemoaning media about overlooking genocide. I also remember a while back about Our Dumb World which completely admonished society for overlooking the Rwandan Genocide. Even the Holocaust was like page 7 on New York Times long ago.
