Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isnât living in a bubble. I donât need to know whatâs going on at X. I wonât be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

His brother's a billionaire, so he's practically slumming it at "only" $600k. Common Sense Media should stick to their useful guides for parents, and stay out of trying to push regulations they don't understand.

This is so true of everyone I know who subscribes to conspiracy fictions: "If a story is either plausible or proved, it seems, they donât want to know." Also the part about freeing us from civic responsibility bc they frame the problem as remote. Great read!
