Burned out autistic.
The USA as a society has adopted hate and mob mentality values, technology lust and dehumanization. It seems like media ecology teaching 1980's/1990's need more attention in 2024 and 2025. "Amusing Ourselves to Death"

Public social media in USA was regulated, you had to get a license for public radio. Ham radio, CB radio, #KBRV0896 - I got a #RadioShack radio for Christmas at age 13 and had unlimited access - but had to identify myself. That was all trashed for popular media.

Two more lawsuits filed against Roblox:

—A 12yr old alleges she was groomed and sent explicit images to a group of adult predators

—A 10yr-old alleges she was groomed and sexually assaulted after meeting the predator in real life

My report on Roblox' failures:

my favorite thing is telling people that @davidgilbert.bsky.social actually lives in Ireland, making it all the better that he scoops half of US media on a weekly basis. I've worked with David for many years now, and absolutely refuse to be in a newsroom without him, he's just that good:

I actually think his point subtextually is the opposite. He's the hot tall guy that girls liked in a dumb movie that romanticized abusive behavior or a TV show that had one good season before falling off the rails or a movie that's already mostly remembered for a gimmick. The people who love him aren't people moved by his performances. They thought he was hot in that one thing they vaguely remember. He want to carve out being more that one tall hot guy who keeps getting cast in popular titles. Like it's not the worst fate. It's definitely not where an actor stops and rests on their laurels

If the MAGA crowd was capable of taking a long, serious look at their beliefs and priorities then we wouldn’t be in this situation. They are emotional children completely lacking self awareness. Arrested development imbeciles who are physically incapable of anything other than being ruled by their most toxic and reductive impulses.
