But seriously, that's a tough one. I get it that his audience are going to be interested in Apple stuff specifically, tech stuff generally, and not expect politics to creep into his blogs. And believe me, I do seek out havens free from the goings-on in the world as well.
But it is also hard for me to imagine having a public forum (as he and other bloggers do) and to simply carry on business as usual as if the world were not spinning out of control (and if you don't think we are living now in extraordinary times I don't know what to say.).
(Geerling guy, what planet do you live on? Oh, that's right, St. Louis.)
(My complete escape from the happenings in the world is to go back and read old computer magazines or electronics magazines on archive.org.)
