You know those stories about how the magic of Christmas miraculously restores your faith in humanity? It isn't working.

So every single person I have spoken to this year has said this. It sucks. Hardcore.
Look….. I know I’m an adult so it’s different…… but I feel like this year’s Christmas is the least Christmas-y I’ve ever experienced.
Personally, because of all of the horror we’ve had this year. But also commercially, I feel like even companies are phoning it in or not even acknowledging it.

Anti-abortion activists in the US have created a new chatbot to dissuade people from abortion using misinformation and deception - the two main strategies of "crisis pregnancy centres." This is basically a digital CPC designed to reach many more people.

Wanted to make a longer post about the mass shooting at Brown and found this post about Sandy Hook from 2012 and how sad is it that I can literally copy paste the exact same post because gun violence has only gotten worse without federal legislation to stop the ~40K annual preventable gun deaths.😓
