Jan 10, 2021 was the day I unsubscribed and/or deleted every news source I had. I just couldn't take it anymore. That week capped off a decade of alarmist content that seemed to start at the end of the housing crash, but continued to get angrier and nastier every year. I lost family members to the brainwash that is the "news" and it has been heartbreaking. It's honestly worse than losing someone due to death, because they're right there, in front of you, just a different, angrier, person that uses words and expressions that make no sense, and it replaces all those good childhood memories you used to hold of them. Honestly, I have never felt better being disconnected from it all. It really frees up the brain to ponder on things I can actually control in my life.
