No more television. Can't even watch MSNBC for more than a few minutes before I get pissed off. I just want information. Not so much people telling me how I need to feel about it.

My substack list is growing- Recently added the Contrarian because its staffed by some of the best writers out there.

I've cancelled the newspapers too as they are all run by right wing cranks now- LA Times, NY Times.

Even all of these will be put on the shelf for 72 hours beginning 1/20 during my self-imposed media blackout as I do not want to get sucked into the vortex off all the craziness that will be reported on the first few days of this new American hell.
