You can always try splitting the difference a bit with Daniel Immerwahr's "How to Hide an Empire" which is (1) an engaging read and (2) a nice tour of U.S. colonial and post-colonial history, so you sorta get all the wars

What I wanted it to mean is that we could all feel less hopeless and just do fun social media stuff again but that kind of vibe shift can't be willed into existence. Still, this was the first thing I've seen in forever that felt like old Twitter

You just got lost from time to time, and pulled over and figured out where you were. But I was also like 10x better at memorizing routes, because you had to.
