    A lot of what this administration will do is going to be illegal and nonsensical and dumb, but they will do so much of it that it will be impossible to effectively push back against it all. If you hear something that you care about, pick that and keep up with it. Don’t get overwhelmed by the torrent of stuff happening over the next four years.

    This is especially true in the current media environment, where there’s so much noise that it’s really difficult to break in and sort through what’s true and what’s false and what’s missing context and what’s misleading and what’s technically true but there are other factors that change how it plays out in reality, etc.

    It takes a lot of energy to keep up with it all, so pick something you care about and pay attention to developments about that. Maybe that’s trans rights, immigrant rights, democratic institutions, economics, geopolitics, military industrial complex, whatever. You won’t be able to effectively care about it all, so pick one and focus on that.

    Finally got around to watching Mars Express (2023). I think the trailer makes it seem more action packed than it was, but it still had some action and was certainly entertaining. I’m not fully sure how I feel about it yet but I’m definitely going to rewatch it again in the future. It draws out similar feelings to when I watched Pantheon (2022).

    I also recently finished Kite Man: Hell Yeah! (2024) and started Drifting Dragons (2020). I enjoyed Kite Man (spinoff show from Harley Quinn (2019), so if you like that you’ll probably like this too). I’m only a few episodes into Drifting Dragons and while I plan on finishing it, it’s not as up my alley as I had hoped.
