Shit, I want news to be boring again.

The news has been full of wars, drugs, and domestic unrest since at least the 60s. In the 70s we added rank political malfeasance and conspiracy theories and here in the 2020s its more of the same. The big difference makers are the 24 hours news cycle and the rise of social media.

If you limit your social media time and stay off aggregators like Lemmy and Reddit you'll find that it's possible to (mostly) go back to the way it was.
