Starting to wonder if the Internet was a good idea.

Views expressed are my own.
Happy Sunday everyone.

I've been thinking a lot recently about how the internet makes us feel and why, and how that is bleeding over into real life. I've compressed these thoughts into this article, enjoy!

Why did a 33-year-old left-wing firebrand just beat a political heavyweight in NYC? It’s not about policy—it’s about attention.

Scandals, algorithms, and the rise of SEO politics:

It’s good for my sanity, perhaps less so for his.

Failed to get my Cal Newport inspired, Digital Minimalism walk without checking my phone or listening to a podcast today. But here's a picture from Saturday's (... does taking a picture count as a digital free walk?)

Trying to make this a habit. Especially as the weather gets better.

Wouldn't it be nice if someone else was responsible for defending our attention from companies?

Happy Monday! Just finished Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport—highly recommend. Less about quitting social media, more about living intentionally. 🧵

Happy Friday! To celebrate here's a picture of my first beer 🍺

We don’t give beer to children—it’s addictive, alters behaviour, and has long-term risks

But we hand them screens without a second thought

What changes do you want the Government to bring to regulate screen use?
