    As someone who reads the news, it’s so tereible right now that you probably shouldn’t read it directly. It would be risky to mental health and happiness.

    One of the reason why comedians are becoming inpostant sources of news. Jimmy Kkmmel and Colbert and that kind of thing. the medicine goes down with a spoon full of sugar.

    In ancient celtic culture comedians were very powerful figures. I heard they were forbidden from having heirs, like clergy, because fhey were so powerful. They could topple kings with fhwir skills.

    The biggest threat to dictators and fascists are journalists. and comedians are the new journalist.
