you can't avoid the news, duggles, it's in the airwaves and particles. stupid, stupid, everywhere deadly. but you can not take it to heart, diggle-doug, can you? you can cultivate some detachement, as you can avoid snacking late. you know the news can make you ill and contrary, adding to the precarious imbalance in the state of things. why not unsubscribe from political animal, for one thing, it is not enlightening. maybe resolve to divest of as many political feeds as possible, for it's all like late night anxious browsing, and it makes for anxious sleep and contrary waking.
