To know who. . A Looney Tunes Sheriff?
I am rethinking the post for activist HQ here.

I have left a bunch of posts all over DU. Well, they are an incoherent mess and an insult to the role of information in society .

But I thought I would instead try to sound normal again. And go offline mostly and focus on science in my field. Every second of effort stolen from your time in your field is kind of an affront as it indicates that much more time from your own field they sucked away.

It doesn’t require extreme self-regulation. I have an axe to grind with some really annoying stuff.
What is it - Dec 16? I was supposed to have restarted work on this paper I am writing, instead I have been here all month. And one just sounds “off” when one rambles and explodes. I can see that as a scientist. But well, Trump 2.0 seems like a time to take down these tech creeps a peg. I am pretty NIMBY. It’s now or never. Or at least it accelerates as a nuisance if entirely unchecked.

My best bet is to focus on my field and dial down net-centric behaviors.
Net-centric engagement with reality usually means you fall into one of these categories: bot; influencer adjacent; adhd; spook; gamer/gameified; sleuth; creep (hey get a life you..yes you 🫵 ; one of the various internet based creepy cottage industries that get my goat; retirees (timewise, people like my dad or many posters here are the only people online if being online isn’t your part of your profession - it isn’t mine ).

That last I get..but ;-/. I’ll take my activism into real life now, except when I am goaded enough to post online.
Complainant! Yeah that’s the other category of activist.

That’s the thing, it’s not money or politics, maybe zealotry as James Buchanan would put it..it’s about what’s right or wrong in any intellectually honest way. Sucks away one time and attention and then blames one.
But the real world is the place for that..

It was just that the noise pollution levels were exceptionally high where I live in the last month, and they rake up an old conflict with a lousy former employer and I waste time.
I must go work. I have been trying as usual to focus on my attention and memory and July-Dec 2025, the noise levels on my street have seemed extra high and that always ruffles me.
