Links: If you want to follow the news...

[sonia]

Matt Kiser has continued to publish whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com since he started on January 20, 2017. It's also available at wtfjht.com (or used to be, anyway. It's not resolving at the moment)(now ok again). It has a summary of the top handful of stories, with a neutral journalistic tone that manages to convey how fucked up it all is at the same time.

I mostly avoid looking, but I like knowing it's there if I want to catch up on the latest fuckery.

ETA: Now also available at wtfjht_feed, as azurelunatic noted in comments.

I've moved to a system of looking at the main news once per day, in the morning over breakfast. It's probably better for me, though as Our Fearful Leader has started making announcements for cabinet posts, it's (1) really starting to hit me how awful the next four years are likely to be, and (2) keeping me distressed for a greater portion of the day.

But I refuse to subject myself to the BE VERY AFRAID FOREVER headlines screaming at me more than once a day. (Even though they're not altogether wrong.)

That sounds like a good plan. I agree, looking at the cabinet posts gave me physical nausea and maybe I need to stop peeking at the news for a while.
