"Perspectives have become more polarised. Facts people disagree with are dismissed as fake. Social media platforms — already concentrated in the hands of a few billionaires — have increasingly become a hub of falsehoods and AI slop, served up by poorly understood algorithms."

The world feels like it's out of control. Could this chaos be deliberate?

Around the world, things are moving at a dizzying speed, and the pace is being set from Washington. Some people claim this is a deliberate strategy to overwhelm us, and that it comes with consequences.

Baby is so tired

Monkē Mar 11

Trying out medication for my #ADHD & it was going well until it wasn't. The long-acting stuff was well out of my system at bedtime but I nevertheless watched the clock till 4:30 & slept fitfully till 7:30 while my stupid fucking brain played dad rock songs at me.

Worse, my fucking Fitbit greets me in the morning with a cheery "Well didn't YOU sleep well?!" Actually I didn't, you increasingly stupid spyware piecea shit

One day I'll be better at mashing Bluesky & Mastodon together. It's really nice here in Mastodon, I want to spend more time looking at birds & people's creative projects, less time in the frenetic firehose of information & questionable takes

Heh, okay then. #Wrapstodon

Thanks Mastodon, I'm mostly on Bluesky now, though worn down with social media in general. Say hi at @monkeh.bsky.social

Pokémon GO’s New Character Creator Arrives, Everyone Hates It

Pokémon GO has rolled out a new character creator. The revised toolset has changed the way everyone looks, and fans absolutely loathe it.
