Italy's prime minister just resigned, throwing into doubt Europe's unified stance on Russian aggression, and for Pete's sake can we just have one normal news cycle at some point?

I know at this point we're all pretty numb to "another regime-changing, winds-shifting, coalition-fracturing event is shaking Western politics to its core," but…

Another regime-changing, winds-shifting, coalition-fracturing event is shaking Western politics to its core:

Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi resigned on Thursday, plunging the European Union's third-largest economy into fresh political turmoil.

Draghi's resignation comes after several key parties in his coalition -- the powerful 5-Star movement, the largest party in the country's coalition government, center-right Forza Italia and the far-right League -- boycotted a confidence vote in the government Wednesday night. ...

The centrist leader's resignation comes despite his popularity among many inside the country and support from world leaders, who view him as an important European voice in standing up to Russian President Vladimir Putin and his war in Ukraine.

Ah, a major European leader has abdicated his position, throwing a major component of the entire future of the continent into profound uncertainty?

Must be Thursday!

Seriously... When was the last time we just had a normal boring news cycle with nothing much going on?

Was it, like, February of, I dunno, 2014? What was going on then? I can't remember.

It's all just neverending these days.

Maybe the most we can hope for is not that this global insanity ever slows down or stops, but that we can all just one day retire, and move to a secluded Italian villa, and live out our days there with no knowledge of the outside world, and one day die in peace.

That'll be nice.
