Facebook is mostly people I we’ve to high school with/at and some other people I’m not sure why/how I’m friends with but they are good people.

Twitter is still interesting. Lots of funny comments. I’ve relentlessly blocked (as much as I can) the trash. Elon sure wanted us to see it.

I used to get the Twitter RW fringe but I’ve cut that off as much as possible. I’ve tuned into talk radio in small bits. I let them have their euphoria.

I’ve noticed that my Facebook friends have shied away from politics. We all know who each other is.
