I got suspended on Twitter & didn't look at it for about the same amount of time. When I logged back in, I found everything on my acct was wiped.

A blessing in disguise.

I see it differently now; not a source of latest news/trends etc, but a place to pointlessly argue and one up others w/ caustic wit.

BFD b/c @ the end of the day, nobody's mind is changed nor viewpoints expanded. So the question I asked is 'Why do it?'

FB?

I've been on it a fair bit the last 2 days:

1/ Keeping in touch w/ a family of Cubans we met the last time we were there (Christmas 2019)

2/ Staying in touch w a friend who's been driving 1 1/2 hr / day to support the truckers 'insurrection' (LOL) in Ottawa.

Yeah, social media's a time suck.

Congrats on the hook up w/ big shot. I hope it's Lee Child. The last Reacher book (his brother wrote it) was pretty bad.

BUT

The Amazon series was perfect. P E R F E C T. Great casting.

As you know, in your FB absence, I normally post your Substack posts on your TL, albeit via your comments section.

However, I hesitate to do so this time - some of your fans have little choice but to live much of their lives through a tiny social media screen and I know you wouldn't wish to hurt them.

On the other hand, I'm sure they'd love to hear news from you.

Please advise.
