    Is it a good idea to go off the grid & avoid Trump news? I argue it's hardly even possible:https://newrepublic.com/article/147528/delusions-trump-era-escapism …

        It’s impossible to be totally off the grid, but it is possible to not be obsessed to the point where a fake tan Cheeto stain in DC controls your mood through twitter.

        I turn off NPR whenever they run his voice, and I often forget to turn it back on. It's far easier without a TV

        I mean... I'm scuba diving on the regular 11 hours ahead of the East Coast and I still get it.

        Both Thoreau's critics and fans make the mistake of assuming he was recommending a way of life. Walden was an experiment, not a lifestyle.

        An experiment that was grounded in Thoreau's deep misanthropy and disdain for the compromises of democratic engagement. Not something to emulate in any case

        It's not possible, I do actively try to avoid watching Fox News when I'm on break at work. If it's on in the break room, I get up and change the channel, usually to sports stuff because I don't want to bother anybody. I just can't stand the sneering smugness of Tucker Carlson.

        Now that @JimCarrey has deftly put his art into play, this would be a great moment for you, Jeet, to tweetstorm an essay on why unflattering poetry and paintings send authoritarian regimes into fits or rage.
