  Sounds nice, except for this part:

  my main source of news now are my 70+ y.o. colleagues

  Since people their age will generally tend to get their news from Faux News and/or the worst parts of Facebook…

    I’ve decided to shake up my news gathering, and will now only take on board what my 75yo mother in law has read on Facebook.

    What could go wrong?

    Nah, in this part of the world 70 is a bit above Facebook age bracket, and people will roll their eyes if you try to tell them what is happening in US, partly due to unflattering opinion on Americans.

  I’m a huge advocate of e-ink phones for a similar reason.

  I also want to have the privilege of ignoring the news, and everything will be fine.

  Except while I do that, some people actively make my life worse. I still experience the consequences, just much later and firsthand.
