Periodic reminder: What you see on social media is an algorithm-curated echo chamber. Those who shout loudest typically get amplified the most, regardless of whether they’re right. The real work takes place offline. If you’re getting stressed out by today, take a break, focus on what you can do.

Mute those news alerts you’re getting (I’m getting them too) and start with a few simple tasks. 1. Drink a glass of water, since it’s summer and hot. Hydrate. 2. Mark Tuesday, November 5th, 2024 on your calendar - that’s Election Day. 3. Check your voter registration. Register if you haven’t.
