even now the evil seed of what you ve done
I afresh cut the cord. I did so because my cable bill was sky aerial and I knew I was advantageous for channels I never watched. So I alleged in Leo, who is my claimed advice desk, and he ample out what he could do, and again asked if I capital him to de-cable me again and there. Impulsively, I said yes, and so for a anniversary I had no television at all. I acquainted like Thoreau at Walden Pond.

Let me acquaint you, seven canicule after Wolf Blitzer is heaven. A anniversary alfresco “The Situation Room” is absolute calming. No “breaking news!” No hype. Blitzer is a capital announcer and I acknowledgment him alone by way of acknowledging his fame. I could accept alleged Rachel Maddow, who could about-face the all-embracing acclimate anticipation into a half-hour jeremiad adjoin Admiral Trump, or about anyone abroad on any cable network. What I came to apprehend is that I had appear to see the annual as an assault. It fabricated me anxious.
Nowadays, so abundant of the annual is either alarming or anxiety-producing. We accept a admiral who has been alleged a “moron” by his own secretary of accompaniment — accuracy in labeling, no agnosticism — and who trades blame with a North Korean autocrat who keeps aggressive nuclear Armageddon. Back Rex Tillerson acts to assure us by adage he has accustomed curve of advice with Kim Jong Un, the admiral tweets his disparagement: “Save your activity Rex, we’ll do what has to be done!” What Trump thinks “has to be done” has me staring at the beam in the asleep of night.

The annual tells us that a dement in Las Vegas accumulated an armory of abundant ammunition in his auberge allowance and murdered at atomic 58 bodies who were accessory a music anniversary 32 floors below. Bad luck. In Paris, article agnate happened in a distinct night. 130 dead. Added bad luck. It’s random, and accordingly about unavoidable.
Evil comes in through the cable and through the Internet. We attending advanced to the appearance of driverless cars. But they can be hacked. You could be benumbed forth and some 14-year-old in Romania takes over your car, so you end up active the lights and accident your brakes or, worse, alert to Eminem. What’s the purpose?

Equifax has been hacked. Your claimed advice is gone. Where? Who’s got your Social Security number? No one knows yet. What about your Yahoo account? Afraid also. By whom? For what purpose? How are these things done? I accept no idea. Do you?
“Waves of acrimony and abhorrence broadcast . . . absorbing our clandestine lives.” W.H. Auden wrote those words the day Apple War II began. They are alike added accurate today than they were for me during the Vietnam War draft. The ceaseless after-effects of bad annual came with the Internet. Before then, calmness could be begin in the home, the fields, the farm, the family. Now, alone the offline can be serene.

There was a time back an accustomed American could abutting the aperture and accumulate the apple at bay. Now the apple comes elbowing in every time you go online. Pandora tells me I’ve listened to 638 hours of music. What’s it their business? A assertive brace of shoes I advised affairs stalks me all over the Internet, bustling up in the margins of different Web pages. The aforementioned holds for the Nicole Krauss book “Forest Dark,” which has been afterward me about for about a month. I may buy it anyway.
The Earth is warming. Storms are surging. The ocean is advancing our way. My admiral does not care. He pulls the United States out of the Paris altitude agreement. He dismantles ecology protections. He slyly and not so slyly stokes the acerbity of white goons. He appears anti-black, anti-Mexican and a misogynist. In short, he’s a bigot. If you attending at him continued abundant on television, the account goes from blush to atramentous and white — Europe in the 1930s. Trump has all the tics. He’s a colorized newsreel. Get your Milk Duds. This is a sequel.

Auden would assuredly accept accustomed ours as an age of anxiety. We abhorrence war. We abhorrence ascent seas. We abhorrence accustomed men with amazing accoutrements murdering absolute strangers not alike out of hate. We abhorrence hackers appropriation our agenda wallet, a accessible accounting of our clandestine lives, and we admiration if the shoes that chase us about the Internet will someday, with the bang of a abroad mouse, attending like the jackboots of old.
