that was my take too - social media is bad for kids because it *enhances* the negative aspects of regular teenage life. before, if you didn't fit in, didn't have many friends, were bullied, etc, you could escape that after leaaving school. now you can't. also congruent with the evidence
A vast array of data suggests that school, not social media, is the biggest modern threat to the mental health of children. If you were recently a child, that won’t be a surprise. If not: enjoy the post :)

its too bad its impossible for governments to help people instead of business and property
The initial idea behind No Vacancy was simple: connect business owners to property owners. But so far none of the businesses getting support from the No Vacancy project have actually opened.
No Vacancy, no grand openings: Pilot program finds mixed success filling vacant storefronts in Portland’s Old Town neighborhood
In early 2025, Prosper Portland partnered with the Old Town Community Association to fund a pilot project called No Vacancy to help fill some of the empty storefronts in that neighborhood. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the central city had a combined office and retail vacancy rate of 39% according to Costar.

📈 Take a look at graphs showing the number of people displaced by sweeps conducted in Portland, comparisons between sweeps and the amount of city shelter beds, which confiscated items are stored after sweeps, and more.
There's more, but you'll need to see the rest for yourself in print!

No one says to legit business owners, "hey I see there's an underground market selling toxic knock-offs of your product: how will you incorporate the toxic product AND protect your customers against its harms?" But apparently it's fine to make this suggestion to educators with respect to AI.
