I'm reminded time and time again that if you stop doom scrolling the major social media sites, the internet can be a wonderous place.

Open Culture has at their site an awesome list of audio books and where to hear them. Some they host. Others are on YouTube and the like.

There's other groups out there too, working to keep our culture free to access. Seek them out.

The most infuriating thing about the #Trump era is the ability for politicians to knowingly lie and there are zero consequences for it and everyone just shrugs and moves on.

There is literally more evidence that Trump raped children, than there is that Iran has a working nuclear enrichment program.

And yet he’s allowed to run the country and get us into another never-ending war that will destabilize the entire region and cost us trillions of dollars without any kind of check or balance on those decisions.

I suppose if you are being pressured to use AI at work, one thing you could do is send HR articles/studies on AI psychosis & ask "does [company name] accept liability for any mental harm that may occur from AI use?"

Before you touch any of the AI tools they want you to use, ask them to put in writing that the company is aware of the concerns about mental harm from AI use but is asking you to use it anyway. Ask to put a note in your employee file saying that you objected to using it.
