Our existence in social digital space contains many if not all of the difficulties and complexities that our existence in all other kinds of social space contains, and grasping the scope of that is not always easy Which is to say I think both OPs are right

And also, yeah, here’s a mea culpa if you want one: I have at many times put energy into screaming online that could have been better spent in other ways, because I felt scared and paralyzed and screaming online seemed easier I think that’s a very understandable thing to do, but it’s also unhelpful

I feel like ultimately it comes down to a kind of flattening of engagement often sourced in privilege, a perverse *lack* of understanding of how connections and community built through social media can really have power, which results in not understanding how to act effectively in context

This is complicated, because on the one hand I think it’s absolutely true that social media platforms are places where real community that creates real positive effects can be and often is created And there’s also a kind of person who really thinks Posting (note the proper noun) is Activism

I gotta say that people are having a lot of trouble distinguishing cognitive decline (Trump) from age-related changes in expression (Biden). Biden is elderly and talks like it. Trump literally does not have preserved reality-testing

There are many things that infuriate me about the pundit class right now, but probably one of the top on my list: Project 2025 has posted their plans for every single federal department on their website. They have a training academy for prospective appointees. Where are the hard hitting op-eds?

when Trump was elected I asked a military reservist I worked with what safeguards there were against him nuking some country because their leader tweeted about his fingers at 3 AM. My colleague said "you know that movie with Gene Hackman and Denzel on a sub?" I needed to lay down in a dark room.
