I do at least 2-3 hours a day and it's beginning to feel like a crack addiction.
I am also realizing I get mad at the news so much, but at the end of the day if I don't use this information for some sort of praxis, what is even the point of just regularly getting mad?
I used to read news regularly when I was in college but I felt like shit, so I stopped altogether. Since the rona started, I started reading news twice a week. I feel like that's enough to stay informed without wanting to swerve into oncoming traffic.
It's not like I'm missing anything, we live at the end of history so all news is basically "everything is still shit, except worse."
