Evie Day 272
Good morning, and a happy hump day to you all. It is Wednesday, 13 December 2023.
Odin is at Lisa’s feet begging for a bit of her breakfast. Lucy is outside barking at an errant cloud hovering in the early morning darkness.
Lucy is a little nuts.
One of the things that I should do more is turn off the news. There are bits and pieces of good news every now and then, a guy building toys for underprivileged kids, people volunteering in their communities for a good cause, but so much of it is “here’s what you need to be afraid of today”. I know that news is a business, and people work to report the news, and they earn a living by attracting viewers which leads to advertisers paying to get their product in front of those viewers. The thing that gets me is that there is so much more going on in the world than the 7 or 8 stories that seem to dominate the news cycle. I prefer a source of info that gives me more to go on. I want to be informed, not just lectured.
I had a guy online try to tell me that Antifa is a fascist organization. After I corrected him, he attacked my education… and he still could not accept the common knowledge that Antifa came into being as an anti-fascist group during the rise of fascism in the early 20th century. It is rather humorous to get to how wrong I am about something by someone who appears to be deep into a Dunning-Kruger episode.
I’m going to guess my accuser probably couldn’t define fascism either.
Alrighty, enough of a rant for now. Time to get focused on the tasks of the day.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
