Depressed about the world.

I'm gonna start reading fiction again.
Weird how in 24 hours the dystopian fiction I started writing is now basically a logical endpoint of our new reality. Depressing.

Cyberpunk : The Prequel.
@Toofargone He also offshored 200K manufacturing jobs. Biden brought back 800k manufacturing jobs.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow letting people come back to work after an unlawful shut down isn't creating jobs

I just started reading a series of books that began with the 1st book in 1979, I think and the last book..? was published in I think it was 2004-05? maybe later. Anyway, it sure is a break from what's happening.

"The Clan of the Cave Bear" by Jean M. Auel It's a wonderful story!

Melania has a book out. Trump raved about it during his victory speech. nHe claimed it's a best seller. Hint: it's not.

Try something more upbeat compared to reality, like Brave New World or This Perfect Day or 1984 😅

@Zaphod42 I'm reading a fantasy novel where the protagonist is a depressed alcoholic and captain if a ship made out of bones.

@Burnley123 Sounds cheery! Does his dog die on his birthday too?

@Zaphod42 I haven't got to that bit yet but he's lost his ship, having been humiliated in a battle.
...want something more bland and satisfying than reality?

Fiction?! Do they still take a page to describe a tree?
Bumbles · 51-55, M
@Northwest Indeed! I just read the description.

@Bumbles All kidding aside, the series was very well produced and acted. It detailed a very important issue. At the time, people did not see the world in terms of straight/gay. It was generally thought of as sex. It was only "classified" hundreds of years later.

I started watching it on a 5+ hour flight, binge worthy.

@Northwest A happy accident! Might check it out. I was listening to a Hardcore History podcast about Alexander just recently, too.

If you're only getting depressed about the world NOW, you haven't been paying much attention to it. 😉

@beckyromero Lolz. I was depressed before and I'm more depressed now.

You yanks just had an election and (in spite of your confident predictions) Trump won again.
Never skip the fictional fun, you can't hide - it's all about what's going on now, really.

It brings joy to me to be honest
@Toofargone Your representations above are wrong...
Toofargone · 26-30, F
@Toofargone i should clarify the world brings me joy not his depression of it

I think I'm going to start writing it. I've gotten pretty far in Corvus's backstory.

This morning, I cancelled my monthly subscription to cable TV where I live, which includes CNN and FoxNews.
