I’m finally realizing why I can’t find a manageable way to keep up with things, why it seems to be either all or nothing. It’s because it is. There are no universal news sources anymore, there are not even universal facts anymore. To be well-informed you have to keep up with multiple sources, all of which post more content in ONE HOUR than I used to read per day. How is a person supposed to have a full time job, a life outside that, and a well-rounded, reasonably objective knowledge of what’s happening in the world? For me, it’s seeming more and more impossible.
