Struggling with social media at this point. Taking a break. The only place where I am not overwhelmed by politics is Pinterest.

Why does it feel like we are rearranging deck chairs in the Titanic?

Walvisbay Sunset.

Good morning, BlueSky! I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday!

My setup might not be as fancy as most of the ones I've seen. But its mine.

I hear what you guys are saying about the Oscars, and how they're a celebration of life, and the show must go on, blah-blah-blah, so-on-and-so-forth. It all makes a degree of sense, but to me it still feels like Nero fiddling while Rome burns. Or in this case, wearing fancy clothes while LA burns.

I could not even finish the Vulture article on Niel Gaiman. All I hope is that Sir Pterry did not know. Because if he did, and did nothing, that will effectively ruin my childhood.

Chief MAGGAT/Q comes in an hour earlier to work - 'its quiet and I can get a lot of work done'. Procceeds to spend entire hour discussing latest Q talking points with my manager (who is also Q). Every single day. I come in an hour earlier and actually work.

Ursula K. LeGuin on technology

So, the Qs/MAGGATS in office are already stocking up on the horse dewormer. And I just realised (with their talk about the L.A fires) how f*cking homophobic they are. My response when they try to engage me in this kinda talk? "I find it unprofessional to discuss politics and religion at work"

Do I love video games? Yes. Am I a terrible video game player? Also yes.

The Irony of these people calling white Saffers racist.

Just learned about hypernormalisation. Now a lot of things makes sense. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperNo....

Amidst the talk in the office about H5N1 etc. Chief Q proclaims loudly that she has already asked someone for the cheap Ivermectin they sell at our farm supplies stores. I am in for a nightmare if/when H5N1 gets worse.

The line between news and entertainment has been blurred by social media over the last decade because we have fewer people who are able to critically analyze, read for understanding, and think critically. Buckle up, it's only going to get worse.
