#Facebook now interrupts every video after about two seconds with a 'swipe to see more' notice (i.e. swipe to watch some other random video).

I hate what this says about them, and us, and now.

Search engines hooking up AI chatbots, and chatbots giving bullshit answers, are not the problem. They're just symptoms of the real problem:

Trying to determine whether I am living through a near-constant DDOS attack on my mind, or of my mind has too many tabs open. Could be both, but one intention for 2023 is that any of the above situations ends for me. #attentionDeficit #attentionSpan

> The #Yemen crisis is old. It’s been seven years. And we have seen, time and again, how the media loses interest and has to move on to the next thing. So there’s an #AttentionSpan issue.. And..the inherent racism that we see and that we’ve seen on such grotesque display by the #WesternMedia, talking about the white and blue-eyed, blond-haired #Ukrainians who are somehow different. Their #refugee status.. Their #suffering is different.
