Disconnecting

I just can't any more.

I'm tired of having to "Mark All As Read" the entire contents of the Politics folder of my RSS Reader multiple times on a daily basis without actually opening anything. After the abysmally depressing things I read today (and still reeling from the knowledge—glaringly obvious to anyone who didn't vote for the joker in the first place—that not only is Trump fundamentally unqualified to be President, he and the Cabinet of Deplorables^® he's surrounding himself with are fundamentally unprepared for the Presidency) tonight I deleted all the feeds completely.

Gone.

I'm sure that come tomorrow I'm gonna be jonesing for an outrage fix, and I'll still go to the various websites manually now and then to stay informed, but the daily—nay, hourly—barrage of horrible news has become too much for me. When the possibility was raised today that any number of America's nuclear-capable enemies might take immediate advantage of Trump's ineptitude following his swearing-in, it was the straw that broke the camel's back.

And considering this news, reading nothing but whining coming from the tech blogs over Apple's new MacBooks, I have a feeling that my "Tech" folder may be next on the chopping block.
