Turn off the TV, log off the internet. We need to relax, have some fun and laugh more. All of us

I've got a doomscrolling habit. Maybe need to join a 10-step group.

Good advice.

Sound advice. I've already cut back on watching TV news and reading the newspapers.

I've cut back in looking at on-line news the only source i view, but should cut back even more. The better times of recent years are over so must adjust accordingly.

I swore off cable news years ago and get my news from reading trusted sources (which are getting fewer in number). Ignoring what's going on risks allowing Fat Donnie to get away with even more undemocratic shit as he "floods the zone with shit."

I agree with the Live Laugh Love, but have to agree with finnbow that I won't bury my head in the sand for the very reason he stated. I too gave up on MSM.
It sure is hard to stay positive these days.

I do not see anything to laugh about under this administration unless I block out all news and that is living in a vacuum. Planning to retire this year and looking into relocating to another country which will be an escape at best, but may be worth it.

Not boycotting the news (keep your enemies closer), but since the new administration has began with chaos in earnest, it gets awfully tiring.

Log off the internet. No. There are so many things to learn and keep the brain active, especially at my age. A new language, space and the universe, house maintenance skills, myriad of subjects. The internet is a boon to the curious and proactive.

... as well as to miscreants, liars and tyrants. It cuts both ways.
