Right now, you might need some media to take your mind off things, so I'm gonna recommend some of my favorites that don't require a ton of mental bandwidth to watch. All are funny (at least to me), and don't have a lot of doom and gloom.:

Just a reminder that it'll 1) take a while for the gov to get running again (benefits etc) and for backpay checks to hit bank accounts and 2) contractors don't get back pay which includes many who are far lower paid so if you've got a little extra cash, food banks could still use it to help folks.
Hi folks: if anyone's got some extra cash and wants to donate to a good cause, I'll recommend the Capital Area Food Bank which serves the DC metro area. People here are getting hit pretty hard right now and could use the help.

The dooming on this site is getting out of control. Every time you post anything about politics some rando condescendingly wonders how you can't possibly know that elections are over and all hope is lost. If you've completely lost hope, I'm sorry, but shut the fuck up, OK? You're not helping.

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

Freshman year of college. I wore that striped sweater EVERYWHERE for a period of like 3 years.
This was not a good time of my life AT ALL, but I looked cute.

These specifically remind me of diving camp in elementary school, because I always had to get the Strawberry soda.
Minute Maid Strawberry Soda (1993-2005): A bright red, strawberry-flavored soda, part of the Minute Maid-branded family of soft drinks. The entire soda line was phased out in the mid-2000's in favor of Fanta.

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

The case for letting people set their accounts to private on bsky has always been a big one, but especially lately with the witchhunts going on. We need to be able to lock down and moderate who is following us. We need to be able to stop people from following us and soft block or remove followers.

Because it's relevant to my interests: Theme parks have gotten waaay more immersive. Like, you have to compare Marvel Superhero Island to Darkmoor, and 1980s EPCOT to Batuu. The innovations, the food, the EXPERIENCES! Are so good now.
Please give me an unironic list of things that have gotten better over the last ten years because I’m spiraling.
I’ll start: you can buy an enormous TV from Costco for like $100 bucks now.
