I'm at my best away from screens but theres always this nudge to check on the news in fear of something crazy happening given the state of the country (US). A blackout, financial crisis, war, controversy, etc. Not only that, but there's also a fear of missing out on "cultural references" revolving around trending news, such as things that might be deemed as "important to know". A fear of random things like listening to an artist only to find out they've been outed for problematic/criminal stuff, for instance. Or a fear of not being up to date with feminist/equality stuff and accidentally saying something offensive.

Part of me marvels at these "fears" and says WHO CARESSSS, who genuinely gives AF!! whatever you need to know, you'll know. it'll present itself eventually. How can I shut down that pesky, annoying nudge of wanting to be up to date with everything for good, or mostly for good?

I just finished his book, Moonwalk, where he states that film is something he'd really like to pour into from here on out. As it was published in the 80s, I wonder if he ever had the time or opportunity to given what followed in the 90's and onward
