Focus on that one thing without distraction. So that you #gain #insight into reality.
@pvonhellermannn #Iran is just a #distraction because the only think that keeps #Netanyahu out of jail is perpetual #StateOfWar!
@llanciawn This is sadly true. Moreover, it would be a convenient #distraction from the #shitstorm that surrounds him and the #GOP
@TheRightsForum Wel gepland ism met de U.S. .... #Afleiden #Distraction !!!
I was the household’s unofficial keeper of that musical treasure, probably the only one with the patience and fascination to work through the whole process. I was experiencing music the way people did in the 1890s and early 1900s - as something precious that required effort and attention, not just background noise. Those repeated listenings probably shaped how I hear and appreciate music even now.

Trump is a LYING sociopath and TRAITOROUS CONVICTED FELON trying to start a civil war. A DOMESTIC TERRORIST #RepublicansLieAboutEverything #DISTRACTION
As #trump deploys the military against the people.... Any word on the big beautiful tariffs? Nah didn't think so
A week ago: Elon's bitch, TACO, broke up with his sugar daddy! Oh, and Elon knows about the Epstein file!! And the "One Big Beautiful Bill" is failing!
This week: Military dictator!!
You know how all this works.

Empty Wheel:
Let's be clear what is going on: After Elon correctly confirmed that the Big Ugly Bill would put a bigger hole in the deficit, Stephen Miller incited a panic he wants to use to pass the bill as a promise to impose martial law on Dem cities and states.

Creation of a Police State
Meanwhile, government raids against immigrants are escalating and seem designed to provoke conflict. Today, masked officials in tactical gear, apparently from the Department of Homeland Security, carried out a number of raids in Los Angeles. Agents pepper sprayed and arrested David Huerta, the president of the Service Employees International Union California (SEIU).
In a statement, the union called for “an end to the cruel, destructive, and indiscriminate ICE raids that are tearing apart our communities, disrupting our economy, and hurting all working people,” adding: “Immigrant workers are essential to our society: feeding our nation, caring for our elders, cleaning our workplaces, and building our homes.”
Andy Craig, who studies election law and policy, noted today that “Im]ass deportation and immigration enforcement in the interior requires a police state, and the more of that you want, the more obviously it will look and act like a police state.”
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick of the American Immigration Council agreed. He wrote: “In order to build a mass deportation machine to round up and deport 4% of the entire goddamn population, you must first build the police state.”](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/114/642/523/720/829/286/original/fdc52b294cca434f.jpeg)

And others are those sown among the thorns: these are the ones who hear the word, but the cares of the age and the lure of wealth and the desire for other things come in and choke the word, and it yields nothing.

Needing some distraction
As I've been sharing here the last few weeks, I've had some pretty busy times. Some were good things, some were horrible, some were fun, while others were sad. I know, things happen, that's all part of the journey of life. But, some times, it just feels like it keeps on coming, without any time to catch a breath, to recover, to recharge the batteries. Learning that I need yet another hip surgery. Mum needing a surgery. Arwen being so poorly that I thought I was going to lose her sooner rather than later. Arwen getting new meds and slowly recovering. My parents being involved with a terrible accident. All the things that followed that. And me, still needing to prepare for my upcoming surgery, where I first had "plenty of time" and then I felt I was running out, because things kept coming "in between the planning". As the Beatles sang many years ago... 🎶 "Obla-di, obla-da, life goes on...". 🎶 […]https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2025/05/31/needing-some-distraction/
Distracted from distraction by distraction
Neither plenitude nor vacancy. Only a flickerControl, by Pawel Kuczynski: https://www.pictorem.com/profile/Pawel.Kuczynski
Over the strained time-ridden faces
Distracted from distraction by distraction
Filled with fancies and empty of meaning
Tumid apathy with no concentration
