And the world is spinning but not out of control.
The wildfires, the drought, and the heatwaves are going on—so are the conflicts. Let’s focus on different subjects for today, shall we? After all, it’s My News:

My news fatigue is fading away. Turns out, the world is quite entertaining, and there is good news as well, right beside real and often negative news. No drama – No judgement, just facts!
