@Giles one of them has to work. Guess who?

[Tago Mago]

@steelworker the kids?

[steelworker]

@Tago-Mago a delightful thought. Poncy little ingrates.

I’ve only seen the first season of the gentlemen will go hunting for the 2nd
FWIW I thought she did well in suits maybe I haven’t been tainted by the English media as much as I could should have been since

[Giles]

I am not sure what you mean. Our press absolutely loves them....

[Brian]

I miss the star sun and sport ( if the others are still around) used to be the perfect wake up reading material to make sure no one spoke to you on the train to work

[goosehd]

Fuck it all to hell…I’m so damn tired of waking up and reading the news. Our economy is fucked, our dollar is weak, inflation is out of control…I’m so fucking tired of it.

[tody]

@goosehd exactly the reason i'm hitting the bar later on...

[Tago Mago]

@tody why wait?

@Tago-Mago just came out of the garage, i just might need a shower

@goosehd I stopped reading the news about a dozen years ago. Quit social media a year or two after that. I still hear chatter from peeps (like war here or there, world burning in this place or that), but I’m not immersed in anything. Most of the time it’s the price of petrol that tips me something might be up - can’t be bothered to find out what it is, though….

I love my bubble - it has done wonders for my mental health.

@goosehd

Hey man, was this pic taken from your yard?

[goosehd]

@Matt not this time…

@goosehd I feel much the same way. I’m tired of all the pointless fighting and suffering.

I’m trying to come at it with a feeling of gratitude for all the blessings I have and I’m gonna try to do more for the people around me.

[goosehd]

I can say that it’s not a great time to be on either side of the border. Hoping for better days…but it could be a while.

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot THIS

I can’t help but sigh and roll my eyes anytime the news comes up. The sky is always falling. Politics to me are just a soap opera. IMO most people aren’t “well-informed”, they’re “well-entertained”. I don’t need or want to worry about the prescribed drama of the day. I worry about things I can control. I’m okay with being unqualified to do some things….its why I don’t make my own jeans lol

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot @WhiskeySandwich how fortunate you are to be able to ignore what’s happening in the world because it doesn’t affect your safety and bodily autonomy.

Must be nice.

@sabergirl thanks for your input, Anne. I’m sure my boy would have preferred I killed myself years ago.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@sabergirl I like to think of it as a lifestyle of selective influence, which is more of a choice than an ability. A strategy for happiness. We’re all ignorant if not omniscient. So, yea, you’re right.
