I desperately wish to stop the flow of bad news into my brain. I've deleted every social app, but it always finds me...

Block all news sites? I Just did that, it does help! I like HN because it’s pure text and the community is good. At least here people disagree and try to use some evidence or logic and engage with each other.

I was thinking I could buy an hour or so of time in my day cutting this all out, surely then I’d be shredding music practice way more… so hard to get down to it after work and kids.
