so I've kinda quit watching the news. /rant on

11. yeah.

since the election - no, since the inauguration! - I pretty much stopped watching. I used to have NPR on in the car all the time, but i rarely drive anymore, as well for years I changed their name to NPRR - national public republican radio.

what I don't want to do is check out completely. I'm not ready to start working on 2022, but dearly want to have the will and energy to get busy as the election draws near.

it's very frustrating to me that supposedly knowledgeable people, who have a huge voice on national tv, would just flippantly say shit like that. it enables propaganda, which to my mind is really the singular issue that makes everything else that much harder, and represents a real threat to democracy in the USA.
