Quite a compelling article. I haven't even heard of Maltbook. Sounds intriguing. But not going there! What I notice is that I get sucked into all the Trump news. Look, news is necessary, but I am learning to scan it and not end up reading or listening to the same thing by a dozen different writers or YouTubers. The underlying tone is blame and horror. I don't need more of that in my life. I need presence, awareness, and interaction with my wife and my dogs. I need to write, not just read. I don't use any social media anymore. I try to read more books. And I listen to a whole lot of music. But minimal TV. And I stay in touch with friends to catch up and offer encouragement in these crazy times. By the way, I write a twice-weekly newsletter called "A Little More Light." You can subscribe to it here: https://ordinaryvisionaries.com/light
Oh, I watch / the moon nightly / and search Seminole lands / seeking a dark sky site / where a searcher can still find stars / and view the magnificence of our galaxy, but in the smallest quantums of free time / i listen / to "the drums of war" as drummed by Moltbook.
yes, the sounds are faint . . . but getting louder. ignore Moltbook's song . . . at your own peril.

Just sitting reconnects to the simplicity and depth of self.
"We're trading the beautiful complexity of our own existence for the synthetic spectacle of a digital circus."
