I turned off the TV years ago, and pay little attention to radio and newspapers. Said no to Social Media, no accounts except a GAB account I use to see the latest daily memes.
Online news I do not touch, unless a substack or GAB source provides a link to a story. Same for their Twitter links, only see them if I deem it newsworthy.
And the feeling of not being consumed by "hate this, be against that, support the latest thing" is refreshing and leaves me a relatively stress free life.
I do wonder at the emptiness of modern society though, when the above is taken from a life, I do feel a bit empty and left out, but I consider the trade off to be worth it.
And yeah, that rain was something. We had a dry autumn, so the rain was needed.
ahhh blissful ignorance.
