Pass Time explores the passive absorption of breaking news and political discourse during one of the most charged elections in history. How did we arrive at this moment, where truth and narrative blur? What forces have shaped our perceptions, and what consequences lie in wait as we drift through an ever-shifting landscape of information? Where are we headed, and can we even see it coming?
