I can’t believe the library isn’t packed at all times. It’s quiet, you don’t have to pay if you want to sit there all day and work, and mine even sells cups of coffee for $1. Oh, and there’s a bazillion books you can just borrow for free. Come on, people. Support your local library.

Someone needs to write something about how the masses process the grief of losing one-sided connections on social media platforms. It sounds silly and naive, but a lot of us spent hundreds of hours following along with creators on Vine, Twitter, and TikTok, only to have those platforms killed off.

The answer, according to Statista, is FOURTEEN. (I'd looked up "top ten" and kind of goggled at the answer.)
Meta has *4* platforms in the global top 10 and 3 in the top 5.

I said this a year ago elsewhere, but I’ll say it again here: It's impossible to overstate how much the big tech CEOs & VCs are being radicalized within their bubble. The level of paranoia & contrived victimization is off the charts, and they increasingly only consume media that they have funded.

Social media, news websites, streaming services, they are all doing some really stupid shit right now.
It's going to be a wild few years of an absolutely unusable internet while the CEOs realize that trying to mug every user at every level while also having AI generate all their content isn't 100% feasible.

He's a huge cheater in no position to talk about "fairness," of course.
But also note he has no record of advocating for remedying Title IX violations or for alleviating pay disparities. His supposed concern for women's sports begins and ends with trans athletes.
