Turns out if you cut yourself off from reading anything even tangentially related to US politics - cancel the subscriptions, delete the apps, delete the RSS feeds, skip the posts from non-news sites that so much as touch on US politics - you spend much, much less time on the internet. It’s almost as though the entire morally bankrupt modern journalism machine is engineered to make you hit that bar like a cocaine-addled lab rat for another dose of that sweet, sweet outrage. Fuck that, I’m out.
