A little thing that works for me, maybe it can work for you, is that Black Friday week is also "Focused Unsubscribing Week". EVERY company that ever got you on their mailing list will send an email this week. Make an intention as you enter the week to unsub, not just ignore, to anyone you're over.

Compassionate asylum policies are not only more humane, but also more cost effective. Instead we have the government pushing some of the most draconian ant-asylum policies in years, increasing the cost of the system at the same time. As @refugeestogether.bsky.social show, there is a better approach.
Britain’s asylum system is costly, chaotic, and uncaring - but it doesn’t have to be.
It’s time for evidence-based policy - fair to refugees, good for Britain. #TogetherWithRefugees

This is exactly what the recent Trump-BBC 'scandal' was designed to achieve. The BBC is now self-censoring criticisms of Trump in the name of "impartiality"
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Today, we honour Saint Kateryna the Great Martyr.
In pre-Christian times, this day was believed to celebrate a girl’s destiny, and later the Church linked it to Saint Kateryna, a symbol of womanhood.
