🇺🇸 Dear Americans Against Trump,

Please advise your friends to research or ask Canadians about our politicians before they launch posts filled with praise.
Some of you are thrilled that Maple MAGA and Trump wannabe Doug Ford **appeared** to attack Trump via the Reagan video, and are circulating approving posts
Just like Trump, Doug Ford will never change. Everything is smoke and mirrors
And right after your election he was caught on a hot mic saying he approved of Trump

Over the past few years I keep thinking, I'm running out of *exasperated sighs* but each day I read articles like this and ....

Black and white tv--yes. Once a week episodes, yes. Once a week hockey game on tv--remember that? (well here in Canada, that is)
Computers have their place however we need to get rid of the big corps who have taken advantage of the part of the brain that's addicted to the high many folk feel while doomscrolling.
When my husband and I go for coffee we are nearly always the only couple or group not staring at their phone screens--we communicate with each other. I've watched parents in coffee shops using tablets to pacify unruly bored children too young for school.
I don't know how we will convince people to break free of the addiction.

@amszmidt
yup. Social media shortened attention spans after tv started the process. TV programming was longer-fewer commercial interruptions when I was young, and we didn't turn on the tv until work and all the chores were done for the day, even then only for a couple hours at most.
Books, we read books.

People will die because of AI screw ups like this.
Seriously, I believe it.

First I had to fight for a covid vaccine, now I catch the retirement home management in a lie about the RSV vaccine!
"Public Health says you don't need it this year"
I just fired off another email to management with the link to the website stating seniors should be vaccinated!
What is wrong with people?! They don't have to pay for the damned vaccine, and if they did they can afford it after raising the rent!
