  • Trying to fill a 24-hour news cycle requires a lot of bullshit, and Fox, NBC, CNN, CBS, and your favorite news outlet are happy to shovel it.

    Stop watching partisan, billionaire-owned news outlets and start consuming international news and non-partisan sites. (Like the AP and Al Jazeera)

    Also, watch moderate people on the other side of the political divide. It may annoy you in some ways (like how I can’t listen to Maher when he gets on the topic of Israel), but you’ll learn more and you’ll have more nuanced views, which will benefit you in ways you can’t fully understand until you’re able to think about things in a different way. I’m a leftist, so for me, it’s been Bill Maher, Chris Williamson, or Jon Stewart. More people need to learn what they don’t know that they don’t know.









  • A few.

    I was in San Juan once and, walking back to my cruise ship, saw a van jump a curb, slam into a police vehicle, and then the driver hopped out and jumped off the pier into the ocean.

    The first time I visited Los Angeles and saw literal garbage piled 2-3 feet high on public sidewalks. In the days after I saw the tent cities. (I’m from Kansas City, where garbage is very well managed and tent cities are a rarity.)

    I once saw a very tall, dark shape in the woods getting chased by cows. It might have been Bigfoot. It might have been a bear or a deer that reared up on its hind legs. It was too far away for me to say for sure.
