   @Hoss look at william gibson’s twitter feed. dude wasn’t ready for this era and he saw it coming direct from god’s brainwaves too. there’s a cgy post where he describes a “gigaphone” -

   The Gigaphone’s huge microwave dish hoses the unruly hobbit-mob with unendurable levels of red-hot contempt. With its throttle turned up to 11, the NYT’s headlines are ripped from the Rodong Sinmun, cat-lady middle-school teachers reading the New Yorker expect Waffen-SS paratroops to crash through their skylights, and the nation’s airports resound from lounge to lounge with the subtle sounds of TV Mille Collines. (All this is completely decentralized, of course. No one orders it—it just happens.)

   To compete with information deluge, newsrooms repeat, amplify, catalyse, simply to remain on par with their former hegemony, absolutely brainfrying the audience

     Could you clarify what you mean? I'm genuinely curious.

     i don’t really care about “protecting our democracy” but i do think the ongoing psychic radiation levels are so high that 20c brains are being microwaved on the daily and 21c brains are just aggressively filtering and organising it until all interaction is deeply interpersonally alienated simply as a form of self-preservation

     i think my parents on the whole are exposed to far less psychic damage just watching supernatural videos on youtube rather than using twitter like, ever
