Is Trumps epic downfall coming soon? Watch your phone
If you're like me, you wake up every morning to check Twitter feed and news alerts, praying that the day has come for tRumpsters to be rounded up... Well, we're not alone, Mark Morford's column sure hits home.
Is Trump’s epic downfall coming soon? Watch your phone
"Are you one of the millions of Americans facing a new and sickening peril? It’s called “home screen fatigue,” and it’s what happens when the relentless firehose of Trump-stabbed news alerts appearing on your lock screen seem to turn your device into a single-minded spigot of misery and moral dread, interspersed with the weather.
...It’s easy to feel trapped, crushed, overwhelmed. It is easy to wish to avoid the frantic, newly supercharged media entirely, going so far as to turn it all off and go play in the woods lest your soul shrivel into a numb raisin of quivering dread. Here’s my advice: Don’t do it. Not completely. Not just yet. Because you might miss something good. Really good.
...See, something quite surreal is happening. The news is getting juicier, weirder, more fascinating – and, yes, depressing and sometimes suspicious – by the minute. But if you pay close attention, you can’t help but notice it’s all building, cascading and careening toward… something – something you don’t want to miss; except, of course, you really want to miss it, because it’s just. So. Damn. Depressing.
Behold, the modern conundrum.
