I subscribe to the news aggregation service Flipboard, which takes English language news feeds from around the world. I like it because you get multiple viewpoints, not only from a political spectrum (which slants news), but from different cultures.
When I initially subscribed to Flipboard, the previous series of Game of Thrones was still running and just about every 3rd page was some fan theory about plot twists. Then came a respite and it was back to real news.
For the last couple of weeks Flipboard has once more become dominated by GoT and has even managed to relegate Brexit to 2nd position, which thus far has been in the top slot.
I wonder, when all the Brexit stuff has become history, whether the story of Brexit will be serialised in the manner of GoT as Game of Brexit. The plot is very similar...
One thing I have noticed with some Flipboard news feed stories is that the headline can be enticing, but click on the story and there is an acre of irrelevant waffle before you get to the actual meat, by which time you've scrolled past at least half a dozen adverts.
