I am a fan of light news.  On Sunday I riffled through the newspaper, looking for the editorial section because there is always at least one light essay or sensible letter to the editor.  Alas, the editors had substituted a special section on Trump.

Don’t we get tired of politics? I wish they’d print old Cathy cartoons and humor columns in the style of Cornelia Otis Skinner.

Meanwhile, I’m trying to find better news. I have scrawled a few notes on the “good-to-medium” news cycle: Democrats and some Republicans have asked Kristi Noem, secretary of Homeland Security, to resign for ICE’s heinous crimes;  Kanya West apologized in the Wall Street Journal for anti-semitism; a Moby-Dick Marathon took place in January at the New Bedford Whaling Museum; and, for soap fans, trouble is brewing for Mariah, Devon, and Abby on The Young and the Restless.

You can take your notes on the better news in a special notebook, or type it on a vintage typewriter. You can make a ‘zine – remember ‘zines? – and distribute them at coffeehouses.

 Everything made more sense when it was on paper.
