Stop reading the Atlantic before going to bed on Sundays! Especially the top-popular links they so unhelpfully provide. You know there can be nothing good there.

The articles last night were about Paul Manafort helping dismantle our democracy, then a long piece of Carter-era government-commissioned meticulously detailed fiction about the aftermath of nuclear war in a surviving unaffected area (Charlottesville) and the country’s economy overall, and right next to it – a report by a senator who went to Korea and is basically saying how we all are completely oblivious to how close we are to the war there. Then also something about the Emmys, but I had no energy left to read about that.
