    Last night I was with mostly liberals, so they wanted to watch the Times square ball drop. Even they had to admit it was the most depressing, ad-ridden joke of a tradition. Watching Xi’s calming, and uplifting new year address this morning is the best detox for it.

      Same. I watched the ball drop with a bunch of people and everyone brought up how nearly every inch of the screen was covered in ads not to mention planet fitness’ brand colors drive the aesthetic for everyone there. It’s just a sea of purple and yellow.
