Exactly! Watching a stupid show on TV is not a waste of time. It is relaxing and entertaining - no thought required.

For mental stimulation, take a look at Wondrium, formerly The Great Courses Plus. It's just $10/mo, billed quarterly.

I do the daily Wordle (NYT), KenKen, Sudoku, Wordle Unlimited, and finish up with a couple of Cryptograms before checking out the sports news.
