I wanted to let you know about a shift I’m making with my writing here. Going forward, I’ll be stepping back from linking to most political news stories and sharing my opinions on them. The constant cycle of Trump updates, New York City mayoral coverage, and the general state of the world has started to weigh heavily on me. I’ve realized I need to limit how much news I consume, and it’s not like there is a lack of people writing about these subjects.

This doesn’t mean politics will disappear entirely from my writing. When political stories directly impact Apple, AI, or the broader business technology industry, I’ll still cover them because they’re relevant to the topics that matter most to my readers and me. But the daily political drama and news that doesn’t connect to technology? I’m going to pass on that.

Honestly, the feeling of being powerless to change much of what’s happening has become overwhelming. I’ve found myself consuming the news more than I care to admit, and it’s affecting both my writing and my overall well-being. Taking this step feels necessary, and I hope those of you who enjoyed my political essays understand. I want to focus my energy on the stories and topics where I can provide the most valuable insight rather than adding to the noise of political commentary that’s constantly being published everywhere else.
