Did you know that an infant can poop so loudly that the sound rouses you from slumber

There’s staying informed, and then there’s staying mired in the shit…I think one can pull off the former without masochistically indulging in the latter

I haven’t been online much since having a baby, and the few times I‘ve checked bluesky it’s all been posts about AI, pedos, media capitulation to free speech repression, and the baffling defense of what sounds like a very horrible man…so I might just continue not inundating my brain with all that!

In a twist that shouldn’t surprise me by now, I was told be a fleet of phone addicts that I was “obeying in advance”. Their logic was that by telling them not to put evidence in the evidence machine, by warning them that digital vigilantes and the FBI alike were calling for generalized retribution against the Left, I was encouraging preemptive capitulation to fascism. This grandiose tone has become increasingly common on social media from a set of people who refuse to accept that their own addiction to looking at their phone is more a byproduct of corporate manipulation than it is any sign of their own altruism. They see themselves as put upon activists and view posting as the only way to really have your voice heard. That they are algorithmically doomed to not exist to anyone whose mind they might change is incidental. These people operate under the idea that social media is a force for good as opposed to, say, a digital Gymboree for adults designed to create the illusion of satisfaction in angry people so that they won’t do a Bastille Day.

Let’s put it simply. I think that we are psychologically incapable of surviving long term exposure to the internet. I think the amount of information we absorb daily was already a problem and the fact that tech companies are now able to perfectly tune it to our most base desires is a five alarm fire. I don’t think we’ve even scratched the surface of what society-wide internet addiction is doing to us or will do to us in the future. Decreased attention spans, widespread texting and driving, and hunched necks are going to be just the tip of the iceberg. We invented a machine that makes kids want to kill people and we’re all paying ours off with Klarna.

I wrote about "Obeying In Advance" and phone addiction and how at some point we have to look at the number of mass shooters that view violence as an extension of shitposting and ask "Are we, as a species, incapable of surviving extended exposure to the internet?"

You cannot support democracy without supporting trans rights.
