Who cares?

The short answer: No One.

The long answer: No One.

The blunt answer: Why should anyone care, when I am No One?

Then, why publish news? After all, this is the Superfast News Age, in which news is not only transmitted in a flash, but also consumed in a flash. This is the time of Social Media and Reels and Shorts and Feeds and short attention spans and information overload. Shouldn’t I trumpet my news on LinkedIn, Twitter, BlueSky, or somewhere else?

The simple answer: I do not care, either.

This collection of news items is nothing other than pure self-indulgence; they are my diary entries for me to read in the future.


Calvin and Hobbes, Bill Watterson, October 14, 1993
