Welcome to the Hell we're living in
At the ending of the world, we're witnessing
You can cry for help, no one's listening
No, no one's listening
Welcome to the Hell we're living in
And the overexposure's sickening
You can cry for help, no one's listening
No one's listening, so listen in

None of the fuckwits in the #Republican Congress are going to do anything about this. They'll whine and cry the #Democrats concealed #Biden's state of mind, but #Trump is far worse and they don't give a fuck. They'll let #brainrot on the hoof sit in the #OvalOffice until they have to carry him out of there because he's got an R after his name, and that's all that matters to them.

Alternet.org · 'Struggles to 'even finish a sentence': Behind the obvious signs of Trump's growing dementiaBy Sabrina Haake, Raw Story

I think #Billionaires and those "earning" millions per year [exchanged in € as per rate] should be forced to #TouchGrass for all the right reasons.

This doesn't require him to take notes, but just do some "quick maths" on a napkin if he can't memorize stuff in his head to acknowledge that paying people a living wage is the solution.

Gleich im #Radio : "Deep Reading statt KI: Warum es wichtig ist, lange Texte zu lesen" um 14:05h bei #campus und #Karriere auf #Deutschlandfunk

Menschen, besonders die, die an einer #Hochschule arbeiten, kennen das Problem: Texte werden nicht gelesen, sondern per sogenannter #KI konsumiert

Was für Konsequenzen das für das Hirn hat, ist Thema in der Sendung des #DLF

@tante Wir hatten es doch schon öfter von dem Thema ;)

THE AUTISTIC HERMIT AGAIN...

I don't have much life left to waste on vain dreams, on banal nonsense. I don't want to live my final years asleep, with my mind numb and agitated. Online digital life isn't life. Over the years, you learn that the internet and technology are more of a curse than a means of progress.
I know it's very likely I don't have many years left in this life, and I don't want to spend them scrolling on a screen like a sleepy idiot. The bug-hunting cat is disappearing from online life. I've already closed most of the accounts in its name. For now, I'm only keeping Github accounts and a few platforms I use for programming, but I've changed the usernames on all of them. Besides Mastodon, obviously, I use Instagram for entertainment and because I manage work accounts for some family members.
Of all the things you can do online, I'm sticking with things that involve very little or no social interaction.
And I've thought about going back to teaching at home like I used to.
Basically, this year I've resolved to gradually withdraw from social and online life to a tolerable degree that doesn't overwhelm me or deprive me of the peace my old autistic-bipolar brain needs to function better.
The internet (or rather, social media) is becoming a toxic hellscape that it's best to stay away from.
