I guess no matter what social media platform is developed, and no matter how hard they try to make it a friendly and safe place, there will always be an element of humanity that logs in with "Can you believe the horrible shit going on the place we just escaped?" providing screengrabs and videos.

I've been studying runes and magic this weekend.
Learned that "maga" is an Old Norse word meaning "kinfolk." If I were a conspiracy theorist, I would suspect this was an intentional white nationalist dog-whistle, backformed into Make America Great Again. More racist #OldNorse appropriation.

I'm persuaded to accept a chief security officer who looks like they triumphed over a long hallway of fistfights en route to getting their profile photo.
I would dismiss them with prejudice upon receipt of a name that would not pass California DMV's license plate screening.

My phone use is down 20 minutes from last week, and was down another 16 minutes the week before. There're no social media apps on my phone, and instead of listening to podcasts I leave at home when I go for a walk.
Antisocial media is chasing people from it.

I woud say 80% of the people I used to chat to on social media have either left, or post minimally. "Zero posting" is here. But people are "posting" somewhere else ... www.thetimes.com/magazines/th...
Social media is dead — none of my friends are posting any more
‘Everyone is scared that something they share might attract the attention of social media’s angry hordes, always ready to accuse on X, Facebook and Instagram’

Topic: spittle-flecked paranoid conspiracy theorists using LLMs to clean up their work, to submit it to Bellingcat with a veneer of "calm and collected."
The bigger change is presentation, historically, these emails were visually chaotic: sudden colour changes, ALL CAPS, screenshots pasted at random. Classic signs of disordered thinking. Now they’re neat, structured, and grammatically consistent. The delusion hasn't changed, but the formatting has.

A new skill-sharing "community" is starting up in my city, based on a Dutch model of preserving culture. I've donated to them, volunteered my skills. I really wanted to be a part of this, leaning into the crafts tied to my Scandi heritage.
Did I forget there'd be Minnesotans there?

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

For anyone wondering, some possible dog names have survived from cuneiform sources.
On tiny dog figurines found buried under a palace in Nineveh, Iraq are inscriptions that seem to be names.
