Phew
I'll take it.
I woke early this morning to go to the gym and the headline I’d hoped for was waiting for me.
And by the time I got into the car five minutes later, it was done.
Like most people outside the U.S., I kind of resent how much I have to know about U.S. politics, but there’s no sense in denying reality. Their elections hold international consequences. Donald Trump is the reason A.I. has been unleashed the way it has, it’s why game consoles are so expensive, why it costs nearly twice as much to fill my car’s tank as it used to.
I know that he’s still president, but I hope that being electoral poison means that he will be isolated and weakened. The world will never be the same again, but maybe we get a break from the insanity, and things can limp back towards acting as though actions have consequences again.
