It's interesting that you took "state of the world" to mean "news". I know I referred to newspaper
(different from "news paper") and TV News shows. So it's my fault, I'm sure. But I definitely do *not* use
"this stuff" (TikTok, Instagram, Signal, etc) for news. I use it to gather some sense of
personal anecdote:
when I was fifteen, I took a bus trip from Salt Lake City to Boston, New
Yorkand the '65 World's Fair (held two years, 64 and 65), DC, then Nauvoo and

mostly through informal WhatsApp groups. Email is *so* last millenia, and
even FaceBook has mostly given way to Instagram, TikTok, whatever. Yuck. I
especially dislike WhatsApp groups because it has even taken over some
I've lately run into two mentions of "group chat" as the organizing
principle of social media for the day. You keep different groups for
