Time spent on Twitter and cable news is time not spent reading a book
Which is the more useful, informative thing, IMO.
If not books, then non-partisan/non-political/non-infotainment websites with information by people who are not paid by the eyeball.
I have access to my college's researching system. I find so many rabbit holes just by skimming through Congressional Quarterly. One article from there is more interesting, more dense, and more informative than hours of twitter and cable.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
