I had 19 tabs open in my browser...

A loud TV on downstairs tuned to CNN.

A loud TV on upstairs tuned to MSNBC.

A loud video on my desktop computer playing Trump's speech.

My phone turned to maximum volume playing political videos.

All at the same time.

It's all quiet now, but it took me about an hour to ask myself "What the fuck are you doing"?

I have so many tabs open that each one is about 1/16 of an inch wide on my large monitor.

And when I'm done, it takes me 6 hours to close them all.

As I sit there and close each one, in shame.

Weirdly, I use them all every day.

I need a 12 step program for this problem I think

Only thing I keep pinned on this one is a site that probably softballs my county's CoVid-19 level which has lots of ICU beds, DU and a site for some peering into MLS photos of seller's houses, ...pretty much sleazy flippers slapping lipstick on unfit 100-year-old ladies' good and bad bones, and Little Boxes "ticky-tacky and they all look just the same," and a few "the rich live differently" just for kicks, but all mostly sad and empty of ever being MY home, and so Backseat Driver spends most hours sipping from time to time on non-alcohol, non-soda drinkage.

Perpetual email on another for "screen-shopping" what I'll never buy, HAHAHA!; weather, social media, streaming, mind-numbing games, and order-in grocery sites on the third.

Well, you gotta have room for blind surfin' other stuff, LOL!

Need 12-step indeed!

Too quiet.

Five states within a hair's breadth of announcing something Il Douche doesn't want to hear and not brave enough to be the first on the beach during Dump-the-Dumpster day.

I know exactly what you're saying. I was frantically trying to find some source of breaking information during the tumult of the actual election and hadn't shifted out of Clockwork Orange mode, yet.

The only thing on here currently is CNN where watching them break down into an outrageous ad-hoc streaming consciousness mode of what they really think sitting on a set they thought would be gone two days ago is proving very refreshing and cathartic.

That guy with the numbers and the touch boards should absolutely get some sort of a "Rainman" medal or award after this and be carried through the streets as a hero.
