Hey Justin, I’m right there with you about Hype Cycle of headlines. I’d much rather rest on the plateau than bob through the choppy waters of sensational media. You choose great details, and I love you told this story, weaving your experiences and insights. Great ending too!

This is so great Justin! I stopped watching the news a while ago and it was generally positive (I was a little late to covid, you can imagine how impossible that seemed to someone out of the know) and I am always happier when I’m not hooked on the next big sensational thing. I lived at home for a year and my parents play the news literally 24/7. I felt like I walked into a hyper sensitive alternate reality. Great piece! Loved that it was inspired by this guys shirt.
