On a similar note, the Supernatural Breaking News meme was funny earlier on, but as it's coming to be used for literally every single bit of minor news and people are more and more going "this is always how I learn about news first" or "I get my news only through this meme", I am BEGGING YOU to not get your news primarily off random Tumblr users and memes.
Subscribe to the (free) email newsletters of the national newspapers of record, multiple of them to catch the spectrum. Do the same for your regional, specialty, or local papers, especially the dailies and the ones that are not tabloids or conservative rags. Tune into their daily and weekly news brief podcasts and shows.
Contribute to their circulation count by actually reading and listening to their coverage. If you means to do so, actually subscribe to these papers; journalism and news reporting requires financial support. If their reporting or coverage is insufficient or does something you don't like, consider writing a letter to the editor complaining about it; if their reporting or coverage is fantastic and does something you do like, considering writing a letter to the editor highlighting it.
Some of you act like news reporting comes out of thin air and keep giving credit to memes and Twitter reposts, then don't contribute any credit or support to the journalists and organizations that actually did the reporting in the first place. There is constant eulogizing about how journalism, local newspapers, and print news is dying—that reporting of non-conservative political leaning is getting smothered—and then absolutely none of you put any effort into getting your news anywhere that isn't a Supernatural meme.

this panel right here is why i headcanon that damian might like astrology.
he has a lot of uncertainty about himself and his place in the world, which leads him to find comfort in something as fixed, predictable and divine as the transits of planets and constellations.
another headcanon is that back when he’s with talia, she used to point at the stars on the desert sky and teach damian their names and origins, so reading daily horoscope is a way of connecting to his childhood home and to talia. it comforts him that although they’re far apart, they still live under the same sky. bruce bought damian a telescope to put near his bedroom window for occasional stargazing.

At some point soon(ish) I want to write a post about the theme of information and knowledge vs ignorance in Dracula, and how information and knowledge are both shields and weapons for the protagonists, whereas Dracula relies on secrecy and weaponizes the ignorance of others.
