News You Can Lose 0

There’s an old saying that “no news is good news.”

At Psychology Today Blogs, Arthur Dobrin argues that too much news is bad news. A snippit:

Research regarding media consumption after a public trauma found that the greater the time spent with the news, the greater the negative effects on mental health. In today’s fraught political climate and increasing threats from the climate, it is fair to assume the same relationship between the consumption of news and mental health.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
