Lowkey one of my favorite hacks for reclaiming attention/cutting down on notifications: turn that text into an email.

Saw something funny? Reminded you of a convo with a friend from last week? Email it to them. No reason they HAVE to see it right away. They'll do the same. Email.

This will go unnoticed, but the "Mamdani/unsafe Jews" narrative further undercuts the "Israel keeps Jews safe" line.
