Staying plugged in all the time hurts you.
You can’t function or combat whats going on in your sphere without the ability to know when to disconnect, rest, and parse the information you have so you can navigate it and live. This a skill many of us are going to be forced into learning going forward.

He has no fucking clue what's going on! He won his get-out-of-jail-free-card election, handed over the keys to Elon and said "just let me punish my enemies and golf and make billions from crypto, and I'll go on TV and sign things and say very strong things very strongly."
REPORTER: Does Musk or anyone at DOGE have direct access through the government systems to how money is dispersed?
TRUMP: No. Nothing.

My fellow Canadians! Did you know our trans friends in the US can't seek asylum in Canada despite their lives being in danger in their home country right now? Welp there is a petition you can sign to help change that! www.momentumcanada.net/pathways?rec...
Sign the petition: Canada must update travel guidance and create clear, accessible pathways for trans refugees

I have not been following this site as much in the past few days. I am using an app to limit the amount of time I spend here. It got easier as days passed and I am glad. I don't need to be permanently on the edge by the live stream of the nazification of USA.

Samsung Digital Wellbeing app timers are broken. They seem to work fine if I use all my time during the day. Timers do not seem to reset at midnight though.

I'm no longer using Gmail. 👏
Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Drive... all migrated.
The next step is to remove the Google Workspace account on my device and see what's no longer working.

I am going crazy about everything I read here so I am going to use Samsung's Digital Wellbeing to limit my social network use instead of removing Bluesky entirely. I want to keep being informed, but this is robbing me of my sanity.

The reason A.I. is being shoved down our throats is shareholders want a return on their investment. Every company that integrates this crappy tech into their products knows you don't want it, but they've sunk too much money into it and don't care. Turn it off, don't use it, don't look back.

Okay, now that we're thinking about Substack and both its cultural influence and its business model, can I walk you all through the economics? Because they make no sense, and we can use that to predict how things are going to go... (Caution:🧵)

I'm even confused what the complaint from Elon is here. That writeup is accurate and unbiased. It is *simply true* that "the gesture was compared to a Nazi salute." The writeup isn't even taking a side. It's pointing out that people did compare it to such a salute. It also includes his denial.
it’s becoming increasingly clear the goal of the far right is to defund and buy up every source of reliable information until there is no more objective reality to counter them

I am not going to deadname Caitlin Jenner. Not out of respect though. I just don't care.
Trump is totally going to do it at the most humiliating moment for her
though and I can't say I won't cheer up internally.

Apparently it needs saying, again, as autism is used as an excuse for bullshit, again, but:
AUTISM DOES NOT MAKE YOU LESS AWARE OF YOUR ACTIONS AND THEIR CONSEQUENCES. IT MAKES YOU HYPER-AWARE AND ANXIOUS ABOUT THEM.

It worries me that a lot of people backing Trump do not operate on a 4 years timeline, let alone 2 years.
They believe they going to be free of consequences in the future.
