I guess there’s something more shocking coming than indicting the former POTUS and they think if we’re selective about how we learn of it, we won’t go crazy. Nice try.

I disconnected my kids long before they ever ‘connected’. Sadly, many parents prefer the free ‘babysitting’.

Choose one or two sources you trust.

Meaning, of course, choose one or two sources who passionately, feverishly hate the same racist, misogynistic, transphobic, Earth-destroying, Carbon-belching, Bible-thumping, trigger-happy capitalist zionist animal-rights-abusing, very-very-bad-no-good tweeting oil-slick dumping right-wing monsters you do!

Best thing to do is what Rush used to do which is take a weekend off. No tv, no computer, no smartphone. Read a book, take a walk, just disconnect from electronic devices.

Hey Mayo, Go tell the Rats to disconnect and tune out. That would be good for them. Just ignore politics and other stressful things like elections.

[BraveMan]

Buy a motorcycle. Go for a ride. The proper way to disconnect . . .

We are apparently having an Covid variant. I have had it for at least a weak. Besides the normal aches and pains, our sinususes are under attack full bore from 4/5 pm, to about noon the next day.

We sip/spit out the infected crud into a cup and flush it down.

Friends our age have been fighting this crud for over month.
We have had more rain in the last 4 weeks, So far the standard treamtment been just anti allegry drugs.

MAYO? What did you say about Covid and vaxes, MAYO?

I’ve had to draw back. For news — and I can only take so much of that — there’s FR. It’s all here.
Over a year ago I quit watching the post-Tucker lineup. Couldn’t take Hannity and Ingraham any longer. Then a few months back, much as I admire his mind, I couldn’t watch Tucker anymore.
Talk never amounts to anything and talk is all we do. Probably all we ever will do.

'unending access to information often comes at a high price: your mental health.'

I think I've realized this in recent weeks.

Even on FR, there are so many individual posters who seem to be always trying to scare us out of our minds.

I decided to just trust in the Lord, and limit my reading to things that seem essential...

I think people can simply not engage so deeply into news they can do nothing about yet being aware of events and happenings in a broader sense.

The world spins on without you. Pick up a book and let it. Anything actually important will still be there when you get back.
