It feels like people have been mad about Byron Baes for years. When was it announced? Last year? The year before? My timeline has been warped since March 2020, so honestly, I don’t know. Could I Google it? Sure, probably, if I cared.
But I don’t, or at least, I didn’t. For me, Byron Baes was just a thing that was happening — a thing amongst the thousands of other things that happen every day. People like to be mad about all these different things, and that outrage is in itself another thing that adds to the pile of things. It can get a tad exhausting, so unless it’s something truly worth worrying about, I tend to block it out.
