Americans are the most stupid people on earth.
So easily manipulated and distracted from real issues.
And those leading tRump know it well.
And war mongering idiots fall for it over and over and over again. They are now up in arms to set the stage for post tRump forever wars.

If you drive, please remember at all times that you might accidentally murder someone if you stop paying attention for a little while.

@rogue_corq
Now he (Putin) wants to pick a fight with Japan as well? 🤔
Of course with North Korea in the bag to the tune of x number of missiles & y thousand soldiers AND no push back from anyone, Putin thinks he can do what he wants… it’s certainly a distraction from the US sanctions that Lindsay Graham pushed for & that he (Putin) is obviously terrified of… because the new sanctions would impact Russia’s five biggest customers.#Russia #Ruzzia #Sanctions #Japan #KirilIslands #noPushback #noConsequences #distraction

#israel #palestine : #gaza / #school / #children / #distraction / #dailylife
»“Swimming gives me a chance to escape the war, and the worries I live with,” said Alma Shabat, 13, who saw her mother killed in an Israeli strike in May.
After three weeks of classes, her favourite stroke is freestyle, she has made new friends and she is no longer afraid of the waves and open sea. “Coming to the beach is a beautiful and enjoyable experience,” she said.«

Distractions and sadness
Everyone deals with sadness, depression even, differently. For me, one of the things I always struggled more with during times of feeling like crap, was money. 🤑 I want to spend money on myself, to cheer myself up with nice things, to make my life better with lovely things, to show myself that I am worth it... I never got myself in too deep, although I've been very close, during some bad depressions... But, it often happens that, the longer I feel bad, the less money will remain on my tiny little savings account. 💸 I will start with a little bit, as I am usually trying to save up for something more expensive. And then, when depression hits me badly, I buy all these little things. They make me happy, for a little while, until I realize that the big thing I had been saving for, is further away from me now, as I spent part/most of the money I had for it... 😢 […]https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2026/07/22/distractions-and-sadness/

@argv_minus_one Ok I can accept maybe people are not #Doomscrolling and for them to judge but I find it hard not to be distracted by all that stuff over and over.
Where's the positive mindful progress here? It's more computers and material tech.
If it's not #Doomscrolling then just #distraction from improving social(ising) seems to be the case when there are non-US people with a ton of #USPol (again ok to an effective / relative limit).
Moths to a light that kills their time is my thought.

@argv_minus_one Agree.
It's the manipulation and distraction of ''more bad news' every day and the machine / website funded to pump out all that crap that I see as the self-circular problem (total #distraction / people never working on the other real problem of making something so good principled people have something better to do / can fix themselves up also).Not just complain about the baddies (which I agree is ok for some time).

Trying out some editing
I've been playing with editing apps for a long time. When I got my first real smartphone in 2012 (after some Windows Qtek-HTC phones), a Samsung Galaxy Nexus (I9250M), the Android store was all very new to me. I found an editing app called Pixlr... And it's 2026 now, and... I am still using the app. The app has a gazillion of options, and they are all so easy to use. But, I keep falling back to a certain kind of editing, as it appeals most to me... Guess it's the "Cynni style" when it comes to simple editing stuff. 😉 When I am struggling with my (mental) health, there are times when I like to "revisit" some of my favorite pictures, and I will try to edit them to "renew" them, to make them appeal to a different public.

Ah, the tech world's latest shiny object: Version 3.8 of "Qwen"—because the world clearly needed another half-baked AI upgrade to distract us from reality. 🙄 After all, who doesn't want their software updates to sound like a failed attempt at naming a pet hamster? 🐹✨

Well into the mid 1990s, I walked about without pagers, mobiles, and other "smartleashes", with just a manual-wind, mechanical watch upon my wrist. I wish, at least, to revert back to the #distraction-free #simplicity of the mid 2000s, pre-smartphone era. I am not yet longing for a brick-like flip-phone with age-appropriate features, like humongous dial pad, massive font, loud ringer, included hearing aid, built-in fall detection, automated ambulance service, etc. That day will come, soon enough. But, in the meantime, it would be swell, if #mobile carriers offer a phone with these features:
• A rugged (at least IP67), wallet-sized phone with an #eink display just large enough to render text, short emails, and the dial pad
• Just text, email, calendar, and phone apps; no web browser, no ebook reader, no social media, no games, no side-loadable apps
• No camera, no video player, no headphone jack, no audio player
• Just cellular and WiFi; no Bluetooth, no NFC, no other connectivities
• Just magnetic charging; no charger port
• A battery that lasts forever and a day on one charge
• The phone is included with a mobile planIf such a cheap, free phone is too much to ask of the carriers, I would gladly settle for a free, wallet-sized, dual-touchpad #Morse keyer with a built-in MEMS shaker, and the opportunity to sign up for an SMS-only mobile plan: connected, but barely, as it were. Besides, talking is taxing; texting is tranquil.
