I feel like I need a bath now

bill_schubertI'm doing my thing of watching Dexter and picking up Prolific cash too. I stop the show periodically and do a study, then back to serial murder. Pretty balanced psyche.
Totally skewed my brain with a study on 'X', previously known as a somewhat sane world called Twitter.
I feel like I need a bath after five minutes on the site. It is like what I imagine being on Qanon is like. It does make me want to step back from the world and be a low information person. As it is I spend a lot of time listening to podcasts analyzing politics and economics. And a little soccer. But this is like sticking my head into a blast furnace. Five minutes on that site was actually pretty scary.
Fortunately I have my own x in the top right of my screen. I don't think I'll be going back to the site soon. I dumped it with the moron took over and now am glad.
And in other news, nearly as depressing, Austin FC lost last night. They have a pretty good team but had no urgency at all. They can run so hot and cold. And with zero excuse. They were rested and no injuries and they just were placid. It didn't seem like they wanted to win. And La Murga was even off a bit. They sensed the team was out of it. The whole thing is annoying. Fortunately I've got nothing but some emotion tied up in the team.
Nothing today. I took the dogs on an abbreviated walk. When Zoe slows down I turn around and head back. She gets over heated. We cut off about half a mile of our walk. It was too sunny and hot for her. I'm getting used to her being deaf and am working on clear hand signals. She does respond to them and now I know she can't hear me I watch closely and make sure she can see me. It is different but we work it out. Meanwhile, she has the best naps of all time. Much like Shawn at the Ranch, also deaf, unless she feels a vibration she is OUT. I'm a bit envious at times.
Back to Dexter and making money on the side.
