What are you mad at today?

  1. BLM?

  2. Biden?

  3. Trump?

  4. Ukraine?

  5. Inflation?

  6. Abortion?

  7. Vaccines?

  8. Benghazi?

  9. Elon Musk?

  10. Boy Scouts?

  11. Lockdowns?

  12. Drag Shows?

  13. Prince Harry?

  14. Afghanistan?

  15. Amber Heard?

  16. George Floyd?

  17. Mail in Ballots?

  18. Gay Marriage?

  19. Black Mermaids?

  20. Climate Change?

  21. Martha's Vineyard?

This list is ridiculous, and yet, we’ve normalized the hell out of being outraged about each of these things over the course of these past 2-3 years. This list barely scratches the surface of “hot topic” issues we’ve been told to lose our minds over in recent times.

The Daily Draft with Zac Small is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

I didn’t even try when creating this; I thought of recent things I’ve seen people on Twitter quarreling over, and immediately, 21 items came to my mind; imagine if I’d Google’d or scrolled through Reddit’s top stories? I could 10x this list - easily.

Stop Acting Like You Give a F@$K

There’s no reason you should consider giving a damn about what we see going on at the national level; 90% of these things don’t matter to you, and it’s okay to admit that.

There’s nothing wrong with being honest and saying, “I don’t care.” In fact, it’ll likely be a liberating experience for you as you can finally not give time and attention to things you never really gave a damn about in the first place; except now you don’t have to worry about wasting time with the act of putting on the dog and pony show required to appear well-versed and “in the know” of whatever hot topic is making its rounds.
