I am conflicted between carrying out my original mission in starting this place, and the knowledge that we have been collectively altered (if not hacked) by social media in a way that few would deem positive.

I love my MAGA aunt and my MSNBC uncle. Thank god they found pickleball as a medium to preserve their sibling relationship, because it seems everyone they listen to is telling them how truly awful the other is.

I used to identify with the left, not just for their social progressiveness, but because intellectual discussion was their pickleball.

My aunt and uncle aren't awful.

I bought a HAM radio.
