So, as I am on vacation from reality....ie not plugged into MSNBC or any "news" source.....

since the election. I am binging "Spooks" on Tubi. On season 4 now.....the transition year for fans.

But the commercials suck. Just saw Amazon using Canned Heat's "Goin' Up Country" to pitch job ops there....very weird.

Local news n weather is all I’ve had on tv. I’ll most likely get my news here but other than that,
I just don’t have the energy as it’s been sucked out of my heart

raised. Heavier anti-fascist themes after year 4. Think FBI for MI5. CIA for MI6.

In between things I find to stay busy. I HAVE to know what's going on, it keeps me motivated to stay on task. Skippa's probably enjoying the hiatus.



Reality... guess it's overrated after all.

Full moon's coming up, time to chill and do what makes you feel happy or content or...

I'd probably would gut myself within a month. Then, what would Skippa do?

Where listening to "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me!" is about as newsy as I can get most days.

I come here to watch the videos and get some new info but a lot is getting done around here.

Skippa would be in a bit of a situation if you weren't there to play with!

Besides, somebody's gotta open the door!

And, he can open the door to get in. What he refuses to do is shut the fucking door after entrance.

It's a real fun way for me to disengage I'll tell you that. And it has been nice to have a few laugh out loud moments because we all need to laugh right now so fucking much!

I am completely disengaged from the news on T.V. Additionally, I won't click on anything that's negative (videos or articles).

I see the headlines (on DU) such as dt's cabinet choices but am basically not reading the details.

I feel (for my health) that I won't be getting involved (except to vote). I'm 67 y.o. and am tired.
