5. I've decided to cancel

Thu Sep 18, 2025, 11:00 AM

Thursday

Hulu, Disney, YouTubeTV, ESPN maybe. I don't want to watch anything from the local stations.

I'm in a massive funk about the state of this nation. I've encouraged my mid 20s daughter to move out to Europe or Canada. We are spiraling here and there is nothing but rot for a long while.
