On the one hand, the tensions/despair/hysteria/whatever seem very high in all the online spaces I go to right now. On the other, when people get desensitized by various horrors, the only way to make them react is come up with bigger horrors, on which soc and mass media thrive. I'm just wondering what's happening around you in the real world now? Is it the same? Is everything creaking at the seams as it feels? Like at work, or home, or school? Or is it just more of the same just at a higher pitch? Does it feel different or just more of the same?

    About half the people I know think the country is collapsing, and the other half are acting like everything went back to normal months ago
