I am done with stupid people. Just done. [View all]

My New Year's resolution is to avoid stupid people at all costs. If that means that I have to live like a hermit, so be it. I'm not watching cable news. I'm not watching comedy shows that make fun of cable news. I'm not watching Trump nor any other Republican. I'm not watching MAGA podcasts, not following MAGA Twitter, not watching MAGA YouTube videos.

I do BlueSky. I do DU. I watch streaming TV shows, and most importantly, I study. I just want to spend the rest of my life learning, and I want to spend my time with people who value learning and understanding.

Learning makes the stupid go away.
