I’ve called myself a sin-eater[1] before in the context of this newsletter, and I was only ever half-joking. Every article I would read about our oncoming climate collapse, mass extinction, billionaire malfeasance, quashed labor rights, police brutality, genocide, and on and on, would stick in my heart like a barb. If ignorance is bliss, then keeping up-to-date with current affairs is self-flagellation.
