   @jeridansky @kottke this is why a lot of my commentary doesn't have all the information. i can do a good morning to Rev Budde, and people who know know. people who want to know can look it up. people who just do outrage or dunks don't have a hook to do it.

     Advice from Mike Monteiro:

     "Am I telling you to bury your head in the sand? Far from it. I am telling you to moderate your exposure to the bullshit. Your retweet or reskeet or repost is not going to save democracy. Your hot take on some idiot’s confirmation hearing is, at most, freaking out your friends. And if you want to remain on social media, as I will be, do your best to separate the signal from the noise.

     "Follow people who are engaged in your community, follow people who are engaged in helping others, follow people who are posting pictures of their new puppy because puppies are awesome. … And yes, follow some trusted news sources, and double check their shit with a second news source."
