    Seen on FB.

    This is the kind of depth and clarity that cuts through the noise. The world is shifting at a speed that overwhelms our ability to process it, leaving us disoriented in a storm of change. Political upheaval, technological acceleration, and information overload collide, shaping a reality that feels increasingly ungraspable. This is not just disorientation, but a calculated condition, one that benefits those who profit from confusion and division. When chaos feels inevitable, the most radical act is to slow down, think critically, and reclaim control over what we engage with and how we respond. We can build spaces for real discourse, support independent journalism, and resist the pull of reactionary narratives. Together, we can steady ourselves in the storm, not by fighting the wind, but by anchoring to what is real.

      Good stuff, it seems to be an increasing skill to be able to slow down or tune off the noise. Heck, I think TNCR is good in that respect. Slow down, read what other say, take time to research or type something out, connect with others but in a respectful way.

      When I see kids riding a bike down the street while looking at their phone... (true story), it reminds me of the importance to slow down or at least, just be in the moment.

              In most cases yes, but by no means, all.

                About as often as IRL.
