So I swear the NYT headline on the print edition at the store was something like “Meta targeted children”
But apparently the article I’m finding online now is “Meta failed children on safety”

In an era of widespread misinformation, it’s perhaps not surprising that people are now shirking sunscreen. Why not, eh?
Currently on TikTok, the hashtag #AntiSunscreen has amassed over 5.3 million views.
Over on X (formerly Twitter) influencer Gubba Homestead said in a video that amassed 1.2 million views: “I don’t wear sunscreen, and I never will. We blame the sun for cancer when we should be blaming our diets... Sunscreen and a poor diet will make you sick.”…

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

Now, if only the infinitely gullible, i.e., willingly stupid, weren't likely to take the rest of us down, with them...

OMFG, that's perfect. And, ironically, it was after a conversation with Defixione many years ago that I, once and for all, passed from the car of people who "just don't know", to knowing, I was an atheist.KUTradition wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2024 11:51 amhttps://youtu.be/X4zU6jQ9UsQ?si=m3vP1gGccVnqdihA

YEP! I got me a new friend today!
Hi (she used my first name) can you see the friend request I sent you? I accidentally noticed you while watching the news. FB suggested that I add you as a friend and found that we have a lot in common. I think we can become very good friends ~ I wish you a nice day.
P.S. I am kidding about her being my new friend!!! That being said, I have a friend who is a college graduate that I have told numerous times to stop accepting friend requests from people he has no idea who the fuck they are. He didn't listen to me. Until about a month ago when he told me he "thinks" he got "hacked".
