I think both can be true? Like literally everything in my life comes from the internet -- my kid, my friends, my job, my hobbies -- and I've been here since like 1996, but I still have my psychologist being like "you gotta follow more fat liberation on instagram, Mary, that place will kill you."
I feel like there's a cohort of us who got on the internet before "social media" and made all sorts of healthy friendships through forums or livejournal or what have you and thus, while everyone's like SOCIAL MEDIA FUELS COMPARISON AND MISERY we're like, but that's just where my friends live.
Without the online friends I’ve made over the years, some of whom have become offline friends (even recently!), I would be a much, much lonelier person.

Social media feels evil sometimes, but it makes some miracles too.

Honestly the idea of people not knowing dmmd is straight up wild to me. I'm like that XKCD comic about overestimated average knowledge.

NO CUSTOMER GIVES A SHIT IF THE PERSON AT THE DESK IS SITTING OR STANDING. THIS NEEDS TO END. ACROSS EVERY INDUSTRY. LET PEOPLE SIT.
TSA says it is removing chairs at document checks in airports, requiring staff to stand for their shift.

TSA explained the reason as twofold: to ensure its employees meet its fitness standards and to create an amiable environment for travelers.

I'm pretty sure Max Allan Collins got the idea for Jason to be a homeless thief from Dick Tracy Junior, since I'm pretty sure he wrote Dick Tracy at some point? I used to know this stuff more definitively. I am forgetting the essential knowledge.

If you have $25 to spare and the horrors are overwhelming, I recommend going to onesimplewish.org and picking one of the affordable requests to fulfill. It's not much in the scheme of things but I find it makes me feel a little more hopeful about the world to know that I've done something.

In no circumstances ever should the state be murdering people. Judicial or extrajudicial. Period.
End the death penalty. End it now. There is no reason for it, never.

If we’re all going to have to make choices like this eventually, and we all will, each of us should hope to one day find out we have this kind of moral clarity.
This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now.

He got away, and they never relocated him.
