I’ve got a handyman doing some repair work. It’s a long term thing, so he comes in a couple days a week - he likes to talk and he’s nice, so I usually step away from my work to chat with him

I swear, he’s a kind and reasonable guy poisoned by Fox News sound bites. The problem of no autonomy until you’re 18, and how people have been charged with child endangerment for letting their child walk to the playground? “Yeah, the border crisis is really messing things up”… No my man, it’s a problem with car centric culture and a lack of community. We’re more than a day of constant driving from the nearest border anyways… That’s not a real threat to children (or a real danger at all)

The wind has been crazy these last few days. . “even the weather is fake news these days”… What? It’s just insanely unpredictable these days, gets worse every year. Remember how things didn’t used to be like this?

Every conversation gets back into a sound byte, which prompts me to explain the real reason why everything is terrible
