This channel was created a year ago. Thank you for being here.

As you may have noticed, I’ve recently made a few changes. Going forward, I’ll focus more on sharing analyses published by news sites rather than just re-posting news stories.

I’m also considering disabling reactions. They’re rarely used and clutter the user interface, which isn’t ideal for short posts like mine. I’ll launch a poll on this soon.
