There’s just too much data. Everyone’s distracted by the influencenatti Tik Tok-ing, texting, meme-ing, blah, blah, blah, blah, “Hey…look over here!” News anchors, talk show hosts, pod casters, bloggers, (sorry), and anyone else vying for your attention to make a point or rage against someone else’s. It’s all just noise resulting in a dangerous and deadly waste of time. In an era of super-charged technology that can solve and address any problem at lightning speed, we choose instead to utilize those powers to sell frivolous shit or give a ball’s-eye-view of a 6o yard touchdown or keep ED at bay or mis-predict an election. If there is a “Really, Really Important To-Do List”, you know, things like keeping the planet habitable, ending war and hunger and homelessness, keeping us healthy and making us smarter, who’s got it and when are they planning to start checking things off? Putin jumps up and down, waving his finely-toned arms and everyone starts running around in circles putting the list on hold. The dip shit governor of West Virginia, (which does not have a legible to-do list of any kind), tells Ms. M to kiss his dog’s ass and precious chore time gets eaten up, (like now). Do we all need some Ritalin or whatever they’re using to treat ADHD these days? Uh…sorry…I gotta run. I’m on a ten-day Wordle-in-three streak.
