Philip Bump: "I spent more than a decade engaging on social media as a representative of The Post, explaining the news and presenting my perspective. I was there as Twitter collapsed into X (he offered with the affected world-weariness of a combat veteran) but even before that — even before Elon Musk’s accelerations — saw how toxicity poisoned efforts at discussion. There’s value to debate and conversation, of course, but that isn’t what’s fostered on Twitter or (in my limited experience) on Substack. Instead, conversation occasionally glimmers through a waterfall of bad-faith, uninformed trolls and attacks. It’s an effort to play a college football game after the crowd has stormed the field."

"I am making more effort to write and blog... and am looking to keep up the momentum now I’m back." Well, it's not great but (slightly) better than it used to be. #Blogging #Learning #SocialMedia I write for me, I hope something resonates for you.

Thoroughly vile, and yet another reason to stay away from X. Musk won’t care, and I doubt he’ll do a thing to combat it…

PsyPost: Most TikTok videos about birth control are unreliable, study finds. “A new study published in Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health suggests that popular TikTok videos about contraception are often misleading, low in quality, and rarely created by medical professionals.”
“On the advice of various #experts, people are locking down #SocialMedia, deleting #photos and private #messages, removing #FacialRecognition, or even #traveling with #BurnerPhones to protect themselves.
In Canada, multiple public institutions have urged #employees to avoid travel to the US, and at least one reportedly told staff to leave their usual devices at home and bring a second device with “limited personal information” instead.”
The #USA is a failed State.
