Maybe one day when Trump is in prison along with Andrew, Mandelson, Johnson, Katie Price, etc etc, I might come back to it

But I've had enough. If I see another paper headline about what one of the Beckham's are doing, such as frying an egg, I will explode. I don't give a shit about any of them . Why do the papers focus on such drivel

The world is being run by misogynistic, perverted male billionaires and it needs to stop.

And what was that stupid women at the Grammy's with her tits out doing???? Setting back women's rights a few hundred years. Jesus, is that what women feel they need to do to get headlines. Fucking hell

And don't get me started on the trans fucking shite

When I read this morning that 250 posters of Cruz Beckham’s crotch have been put up in London with the caption ‘Cruz Beckham is coming, are you’ I thought what the actual fuck.

Whatever you do, don't read the thread on here about the Epstein files on X/Twitter. You'll really feel like there's no hope.

Katie price? What’s she done ?

I've got a whole bunch of stuff that I'm really angry about

But I haven't heard of two of the things you mentioned. The Cruz Beckham and the woman in Germany thing. I'm not going Look them up 😂

Also, I have no idea why you think @Katie Price should be in prison. But I don't pay attention to celebs.

What the actual ! I was in a lift last year when the door shut there was a picture of his dads crotch in his pants i really didn't need that in my face.

@GetTrumpArrested i think katie price is easily avoidable, but the rest i agree with.

I deleted X after I got fed up with all the nasty hateful misogynistic and racist posts on there. It used to be fun and informative before and then just got mean.

I have now deleted most social media apps off my phone. Partly because my phone storage was full, and I am holding off buying a new phone (mine would be perfectly fine except for the storage issue). But also to stop me immediately looking at social media when I am bored. Now I have to actually go to the website - and just that action makes me think ‘do I really want to look at this?’ rather than a simple click on an app.

Even Pinterest, which I used to enjoy for getting ideas about home decoration / clothes / art, is now so full of AI images it’s just not worth it. Everything on there looks so samey.

I am making an effort to read more books, read a newspaper at the weekend, go to the cinema, do baking with DD, go for walks, and am trying to limit social media to a short bit of mindless scrolling when I get in from work, then turn it off.

Also looking at phones while watching tv - also a bad habit that I am deliberately trying to stop.
