Sometimes I type replies that my first thoughts think are good ideas.
More often than I'd like to admit, my second thoughts tell me "stop being stupid, don't post that."
But sometimes things get past my second thoughts, and my third thoughts say "Was it /really/ that clever? Best just delete it."

Bluesky not addictive to teens but definitely a crutch for elder millennials who know too much about the Bajoran war.
Meta, YouTube, TikTok and Snapchat know how addictive their platforms can be to teens.
Those are allegations a group of school districts is making against the social media giants, according to a newly unsealed legal filing that quotes the companies’ own internal documents. https://cnn.it/3Xjq5x5

If people want to understand why American politics went bananas in 2012, the reason is that the moderate black President took a modest but consequential step toward decoupling healthcare from employment and every billionaire immediately poured their entire portfolio into race-hate media

Evidence has now emerged of the adverse consequences of the laws banning GAHT for trans youth in both the US and UK. This includes sharp declines in mental health and increased suicide attempts among transgender young people.

0.2% growth in productivity over five years from "AI".
That's your revolution, lads, really?

Anyway, tech-wise, AI will have a "positive effect on productivity growth", the OBR say, with a 0.2 percentage point impact in five years

As I get older, I find time is moving much too fast. I hereby petition the universe to, on average, slow down by 5%... And if that works out, gradually reduce the passage of time to about 75% of the current rate.
Thank you.
