In recent years, Facebook has been flooded with AI-generated images of houses posted by spammy content farm pages. Many of these pages are run by Vacarino LLC, allegedly based in Oklahoma City. Further digging, however, indicates the LLC owner is based in Kosovo. www.conspirator0.com/p/this-barnd...

This is a thoughtful essay on something I have been thinking about for a few months. It mentions doomscrolling twice and also points to when the reflex can be detrimental on a personal level and on a larger scale.
You’re not weak for avoiding bad news — you’re human. Behavioral science calls it the “ostrich effect,” a reflex to help the mind manage what it can’t control.
