About TLDR Times
Making complex news simple, one story at a time
Our Mission
To simplify the overly complex using funny, factual, oversimplified analogies that make current events feel like conversations you'd have in line at a coffee shop.
Why We Exist
Let's be honest: the news is overwhelming. Between breaking news alerts, political jargon, and complex global events, staying informed feels like drinking from a fire hose while riding a unicycle.
We believe everyone deserves to understand what's happening in the world without needing a PhD in international relations or a dictionary of political terms.
Think of us as your knowledgeable friend, breaking down complex topics over coffee – but for literally everything happening in the world.
How We Do It
Every story gets the three-layer treatment:
ELI5 (Like You're 5)
The simplest possible explanation. Think goldfish attention span but with more curiosity.
ELI10 (Like You're 10)
More detail, but still digestible. Perfect for when you want to sound smart at dinner parties.
ELI15 (Like You're 15)
The full story with context, nuance, and enough detail to actually understand what's happening.
