So weird if you just read through our topic threads we know instantly

[a kennedy]

what is happening EVERYWHERE......scary really......we know instantly what is happening all the time, everywhere, and what’s about. Almost to much at times. I’m starting to start reading a book again. Ha ha, brain is racing right now......gotta slow don eh?? Anyone else?? Reading for enjoyment and relaxation, what a concept.

1. Agree I may take a media/ social media cutoff & time it with the days of lent , although I am not

in any way religious . Seems like a natural season to do some form of cutting back for awhile , doesn’t it?
I have to make up my mind how much I will cut and keep for the 40 days pretty soon as the traditional start date this year is March 6.
Enjoy your books

2. I commented within the first few months of discovering DU

that I always know what is happening all over the country and the world just from reading DU a few times during the day. My family and friends would always ask me how I knew everything first, or at least before they read it in the morning paper or saw it reported on the evening news. If I were to ever travel abroad again I would read DU to catch up on timely events.

3. I noticed a long time ago that when the media picked up 'new' stories

they had already been on DU before. Sometimes months before.

Sometimes this place, meaning the people who make up this place, has been a guiding light through tough times.

4. when Pelly interviewed McCabe

he was incredulous at things we have known for years now. Frustrating.

5. Politics is many things, but relaxing ain't one of 'em. nt

6. Knowledge is a Threat to Authoritarian Leaders

DU shares cutting-edge news and enlightened commentary.

So much of a threat, it was hacked and dead-in-the-water on Election Day 2016, the day Russians stole the election for Trump.
