Are We Cooked?

Babe wake up! a new unspeakable horror just dropped! 🙃

Things feel uniquely scary right now. I some times wonder if it was always this way or if we are really living through unprecedented times. I’m going with the latter.

Our phones serve as our main tool to consume the “news” and media. Even though there is so much disinformation, we are definitely more informed on what’s going on than ever.

So we’ve shined a light on countless evil, corrupt deeds carried out by the scum of the Earth. Now what?

Does it do us any good to know everything, but still have no control? I often feel compelled to take a break from doomscrolling on my phone. I’ve considered going back to a flip phone, but if I’m being real, I can’t go back. We’re too reliant on our deivices for so many different elements of our lives.

Getting news, social interaction, and entertainment from the same device causes issues.

My question is, how can I stay informed, but not let the wave of information depress me?

What are your go-to solutions to reduce time spent doomscrolling? Is this a necessary price to pay, to stay informed? Are we cooked?
