My Feelings Exactly

 "Like a digital Tower of Babel, social media is evolving into an increasingly ugly and chaotic space — a real-time repository for our worst impulses, uninspired musings, scatalogical humor and ill-formed thoughts that should be kept to ourselves," Los Angeles Times staff writer Jessica Gelt noted. It is an online Mall of America: vast, vacuous, relentlessly commercial and soul-sucking. And in a time of immense crisis — political, ecological, social — it has become a garbage dump of vile commentary publicly aired because that’s just what we do now."

As I have said for a long time, Twitter is a sewer, a cesspool. Facebook probably is, too, except that I only see the images and words my friends post.  Instragram and Tik Tok, limited time. YouTube, yes, addictive. 

When will be make the choice to stop it? Or at least cut way, way back on it? 

And here I am on social media complaining about social media.
