In 2019, a group of researchers found they could accurately predict the life expectancy of the vast majority of people in the United States with only one piece of information:
The Zip Code they were born in.
That's how deep racism and classism run in this country.

I think it's important not to misunderstand what these social media platforms are. They are not public arenas where we bravely take on reactionary forces in honorable combat. They are apps that expose you to stress and thereby simulate the feeling of having done something useful

this is not correct. people talk about it this way because it's more fun. It makes everyone feel like they're in on a secret together. This is how language is used for social bonding. Please stop being contemptuous of how other people do things.

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

My brother in yikes, no one can agree on (or predict) what is or isn't cringe-- it will always come down to personal taste, go in peace and let people make things 😌

What if the social media experience some seek is not post-truth rhetorical combat with the deck stacked against them? What if they prefer conversations and good faith engagement? Why wouldn’t that be okay?
"Bluesky is an echo chamber."
"Bluesky doesn't have enough reach"
"Liberals must return to X to challenge the far right"
I'm not a tech bro or a journalist. Your priorities are not my priorities. Stop telling me I need to do anything other than chat about comics & telly with people who seem nice.
