Another example of the softness, feminization and infantilization of our culture. Even in an aging population, finding an actual mature adult is an increasingly difficult task.
A February 25 tweet from National Public Radio purported to address how Americans should deal with traumatizing headlines about the ongoing war in Ukraine. NPR noted, "Russia’s attack on Ukraine means there’s a stressful news cycle ahead of us. The reality of conflict is always a shock to the system.” Patriotic Ukrainian citizens are dying in the streets defending their families and their nation against an overwhelming Russian invasion of their land and we have to deal with a “stressful news cycle”?!
Embarrassing.
Sickeningly, there was more. The article, from NPR's so-called "Life Kit," offered several helpful suggestions for the self-care of those sitting at home reading about the dangers brave Ukrainians were facing.
Rattled by reading? Have a heartache after a headline? Panicking after a post? Going to wet your pants after watching a cable news report? Not to worry. NPR says, "Maybe this is the time that you finally recreate a family recipe, or maybe you learn how to make a prettier pie, or maybe you just lose yourself to a kitsch reorganization.”
“Learn how to make a prettier pie?!” “A prettier pie?!” Really? Who says our media is demented?

NPR listeners are not supposed to have “kitsch” to reorganize.
Stressful?
This is what liberal democrats voted for. Things are playing out just as planned.
They should be happy.
Wars, crime, chaos. What more could a democRAT want?
I think I’ll clean my guns today. That always relaxes me.
