Will Leitch, writing on his Medium blog, says it’s super important for everyone to find their distractions.

As we prepare for what awaits, we can take our solace, and our comfort, and our escape, in our worlds of diversion, of frivolity, of goofy texts about basketball or bad television or sudoku or which one of your friends looks the most like Timothée Chalamet. The world is larger than that. But day-to-day: That’s what our actual world looks like too. It is, after all, also history. I know Muammar Gaddafi’s death was a bigger deal than the Rally Squirrel was. But not in this house it isn’t. I think that’s OK. I think it is healthy.

I have plenty of things to distract me. Family, friends, more television and movies to watch than I have time for, more books to read than I have time for, and more blogs like Will’s to read and dream of distractions like the St. Louis Cardinals being competitive again.
