Yesterday I had a very enthusiastic friend message me about what was going on. I was perplexed, he jokingly asked if I lived under a rock, and I said, well, on top of a mountain instead.

He laughed and said, oh yeah, I forgot. I do not watch the news, I went down a rabbit hole in January, and I still have trauma from that month. It was too much, so I now try not to look.

Then I was pulled back in yesterday; I do not want to be clueless and do like to know a bit of what is going on. So he explained to me what was going on, and then I went down the rabbit hole. I am still in the rabbit hole; now, I have entered politics, and I need out.

I will go on a walk shortly to disengage again.

However, I would like to say a few things about this Elon Musk offer, or some say hostile takeover, in buying Twitter.

As I think it ties into a lot of online platforms. Should I give a pre-warning? My opinion, and I do not lie on either side of a political party. I see what is happening and use my critical thinking to make an opinion.
