“I read a long-form article on the Russia hacks in the New Yorker not long ago. However much you think that influenced the outcome, it was an instructive piece of journalism.

I don’t want to hear about ‘different opinions.” I don’t want to hear about ‘neoliberalism.’ I don’t want to hear about how many years we’ve known each other.
This is a time I never expected to have to live through and it’s likely going to stay this way/get much worse for the rest of my life.
