I'm trying to start to limit my screen time. I feel like I'm hopelessly addicted to Instagram, and Threads. This is not good for me. I recently read that phones are "experience blockers". Since my addiction has slowly crept up on me, I can finally see this to be true. Because using a phone is the easiest activity, it becomes the default activity for me. Watching students demonstrate their addictions daily, in my classroom, has been an eye-opener. So, I took the weekend off from Instagram. I am going to use the timer setting during the week. Next weekend, I hope to take the weekend off from Instagram, and Threads. This makes me look forward to spending more time in my yard, and more time baking. Yes, I bought the ingredients to make soda bread. I also want to get back to reading novels!
Unfortunately, Threads was rife with news about the third "Assassination Attempt" and the press dinner. At what point will anyone care when the assassination becomes real? One person referred to this demonstration as the third burning of the Reichstag. How on earth can so many people be complicit in this dishonesty, and deceit? Every single person related to the three branches of our government, who is going along with these machinations, needs to be shunned. They need to be ousted from public office, and shamed. When the government is reformed, all insider trading, and dark money contributions need to be outlawed.
In the meantime, here's hoping that the Constitution can survive the amateur theatrics of these literal bad actors.
