Done

From my little foxhole, it looks like Facebook and Twitter (and the likes) are helping to shape our national, global, universal crises. I'm done. I'm absolutely, positively fucking fed up with the condemnation of the press; Sessions' impending attacks on our liberties; the squelching of enlightened thinking and acting; the unprecedented and celebrated rise of ignorance; the assault on our intelligence (in both specific and broad senses); the increased radicalization of ALL forms of religious beliefs; the renewed hatred of women, non-whites, non-conformists, and progressives of all types; and the baseless, monosyllabic rhetoric that bullies eloquence from the headlines. I'm done with social media being the catalyst, the home, the megaphone of all this ugliness. I'm done.

A Scantily Clad Victory

You're exhaling, right? Feeling relieved? Macron will win by over 60%... but I still can't help feeling somewhat defeated. In a country of rhetoric and reason, this is the best the French can do? Comparatively, hell yeah! Le Pen(urious) would've been a disaster. Progressively, hell no! I'm still holding my breath. Sorry, y'all.
