Comment on With the current state of the news, April's fools aren't fun anymore because they can't be distinguished as easily as before

April’s fools is a line break. It reminds people that things don’t have to be as they are, that they’re not on an inescapable path and they can choose to be different.

For one day a year you are made to look for deviations so you know that you can deviate if you want to. You have that option in spite of however many shackles may keep you bound to your route.

It’s not a holiday for the mean to be meaner, it’s a liberation day for the mind.
