2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI'm watching the first news since 11/8 at about 7:00 pm PST
Every news story is worse than the one before. Recriminalizing marijuana in my state of Washington. Hate crimes up. Now waiting to see story on huge decrease in sea ice. All since the Trump power grab.

(24,736 posts)Yes I am liberated from feasting on the news. I realize now I was so soothed by Obama as president.
Now instead I'm hanging out just downloading old Springsteen.
Yes I'm still locked into online news but it's less in your face, I don't have to see or hear Trump or his minions. I have more control to live in my alternate reality.

Been doing it since election night. I boycotted the cable newsmedia a number of weeks ago.
