Everyone:<\/strong> Did you hear the news?<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> From yesterday?<\/p>\n

Everyone:<\/strong> Yeah.<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> I did, yeah. Awful.<\/p>\n

Everyone:<\/strong> What the hell is going on right now?<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> I don\u2019t know. It\u2019s insane.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Everyone:<\/strong> How about that thing from last night?<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> Oh, my God, I saw that\u2014how does it keep happening?<\/p>\n

Everyone:<\/strong> Doesn\u2019t make sense.<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> Then I woke up this morning and saw that other thing.<\/p>\n

Everyone:<\/strong> Yeah, that was so sad. Beyond sad. How about later this morning, remember that thing?<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> I forgot about that. Jesus.<\/p>\n

Everyone:<\/strong> Did you hear what just happened?<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> When?<\/p>\n

Everyone:<\/strong> Just now, while we were talking.<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> No, I must have missed it. I was trying to do a news blackout for a little while. Is it bad?<\/p>\n

Everyone:<\/strong> Really bad.<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> Worse than the thing that happened when you said \u201creally bad\u201d?<\/p>\n

Everyone:<\/strong> I don\u2019t know about worse\u2014it was different.<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> What did you say?<\/p>\n

Everyone:<\/strong> I said it was different.<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> Sorry, I\u2019m a little distracted because something horrifying just happened.<\/p>\n

Everyone:<\/strong> Really? What?<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> Wait, false alarm. I think I imagined it because I couldn\u2019t deal with the lull.<\/p>\n

Everyone:<\/strong> After that last thing, I promised myself I was going to do something\u2014you know, like, get active.<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> So what did you do?<\/p>\n

Everyone:<\/strong> I tweeted.<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> Did you really? What did you write?<\/p>\n

Everyone:<\/strong> I wrote, \u201cThis has to STOP!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> How many exclamation points did you use? Did you capitalize any of it?<\/p>\n

Everyone:<\/strong> Three. And yes.<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> You\u2019re on the front lines of change.<\/p>\n

Everyone:<\/strong> I know.<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> Maybe I should try a news blackout for a little while, too.<\/p>\n

Everyone:<\/strong> You should. It\u2019s healthy.<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> O.K. I\u2019m doing it right now.<\/p>\n

Everyone:<\/strong> Oh, my God! You just missed the craziest shit.<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> I knew that was going to happen! I hate how out of touch I am.<\/p>\n

Everyone:<\/strong> There\u2019s so much going on lately that I feel like I\u2019m getting numb to it all. Do you ever worry about that?<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> Yeah.<\/p>\n

Everyone:<\/strong> Sometimes I just stare at terrible things on the screen with zero emotion on my face. Then eventually I snap out of it and start pointing and laughing, so that\u2019s good.<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> I\u2019m scared I\u2019m getting numb to things, too, but then I wake up screaming from asphyxiating night terrors and I\u2019m relieved I\u2019m still normal.<\/p>\n

Everyone:<\/strong> There\u2019s so much anger and helplessness flooding my thoughts, I worry that soon there won\u2019t be any room for other emotions, like dread.<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> The key for me has been to stop enjoying happiness. I\u2019ve trained myself to actually be repulsed by it\u2014that way I don\u2019t miss it.<\/p>\n

Everyone:<\/strong> I did that with hope. It\u2019s great.<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> I hate puppies now.<\/p>\n

Everyone:<\/strong> They\u2019re hideous.<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> You know those moments between crying about one thing and crying about the next thing, when you finally have time to catch your breath and just cry about nothing?<\/p>\n

Everyone:<\/strong> Yeah, but I feel like I\u2019ve been taking those moments for granted\u2014<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> Sorry to interrupt, but I just saw what\u2019s going to happen in, like, ten minutes, and it\u2019s not good.<\/p>\n

Everyone:<\/strong> Wait, you can see the future?<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> Yes, I can.<\/p>\n

Everyone:<\/strong> You mean you\u2019re no longer a prisoner of the twenty-four-hour news cycle? You can see more?<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> The future news cycle is within all of our grasps\u2014you just need to know how to unlock it.<\/p>\n

Everyone:<\/strong> Will you show me?<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> Yes. But I warn you\u2014you must truly want to see.<\/p>\n

Everyone:<\/strong> I do want to see. I want to see everything!<\/p>\n

Everybody:<\/strong> Then close your eyes.<\/p>\n

Everyone (laughing manically<\/em>):<\/strong> I see\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0. I see everything. It\u2019s horrible. Thank you!<\/p>\n
