Make the world a better place a little bit every day.
Or just don't fuck it up too much.
Rise & grind.
I think it helps when following the news to always start with this framing:
Are Republicans doing something?
Yes?
Ok, is it a circle jerk of some form?
It’s usually “yes” and then you can add it to the mental warehouse of Republican circle jerk material and move on to other stuff
The US is being left behind -- in a clean, digital, electric world it is erecting walls & tariffs, cutting itself off from the world, constricting its own power supply, and tying itself to fossil fuel combustion & autocratic fossil fuel regimes.
