Diary 302

Friday, January 15th

One of the things our social media, and our conventional media, are good at is riling us up and getting us angry. How about if we didn’t do that anymore? Since Twitter banned the former ‘president’ things have been quieter; presumably at least some of his supporters have been deprived of their daily dose of hate and outrage.

It’s time to direct our energies towards solving the climate crisis. Yes, covid is important, and preventing future pandemics is going to be a priority, too. And we need to have a planet we can live on. We could turn from media-inflicted hate and embrace media-inspired love — for the planet, the environment, and ourselves.
