De buen humor un viernes, quien lo iba a decir xD
Estoy con un subidón fuerte con Nothing But Thieves; son totalmente mi mierda y me encanta encontrarme con música que ya tengo oida en mejor calidad que con la que me la encontré y notar matices que antes no. Es como ver más colores :D

#MoralPanic, and including many otherwise liberal, historic, feminists (labeled terfs) who were peeled off by lack of intersectionality or understanding the difference of experiences and hard line stances all around.
Instead of labels and derision of each side, dialog should have happened, acknowledgement, understanding.... The Right was more than happy to divide their enemies.
It's not too late. It's never too late, and never soon enough.
G'bless Reid Hoffman for entering the den of #MoralPanic, Morning Joe, and showing them there's another way to think about technology: by taking agency over it. They and their audience never hear that perspective.

What time is it? It's #MoralPanic o'clock on Morning Joe.
Oh FFS. Did you ever consider that maybe you're just not worth the trip? #MoralPanic
There’s a word for people who prefer phones to meeting friends: addicts

I have been eagerly awaiting Siva Vaidhyanathan's response to Jonathan Haidt's #MoralPanic about youth and phones. It is intelligent, reasoned, substantiated, and critically important: a must read for journalists & policymakers.

Morning Joe's #MoralPanic du jour is based on New York fucking Post screeching headlines about a "study" that does not come from a university but instead from a private "lab" of moral entrepreneurs. Not linking.

Believe it's really necessary to remember that the entire #TikTok / #China thing started out as Just Another #Republican #MoralPanic because, ya know, China
Of course, like the dutiful lapdogs they are, once the Republicans went all ape-shit about TikTok the Democrats just *had* to Do Something
And here we are...
Terrible day for freedom of expression. Xenophobic #MoralPanic triumphs over the First Amendment.

Mika piles on: "Literally, for kids, I wonder if cigarettes are going to look like child play compared to what social media is doing to this country but to the minds of young people." After a long vacation, they have a lot of #MoralPanic to get out.
Agents haven't even arrived yet and even so the #BrokenPost is in full #MoralPanic about them.

Carr is at it again with his latest #MoralPanic: now social media.
"As communication becomes more mechanized and efficient, it breeds confusion more than understanding, strife more than harmony. Media technologies all too often bring out the worst in us."
Yeah, print was a bear.

Haidt does not act as a researcher. He is a moral entrepreneur, a lobbyist benefitting from the #MoralPanic he instigates:
