I fucking told you it's the only thing keeping me sane.

Because I'm a fucking media critic and if you don't fuckling like it there's an easy solution: don't fucking follow me.
I pin this...
Ah. Thanks. The story's right. I feel better now.

Agree with the "stop boosting the billionaire outlets" take.
A media critic worth his shit would help his audience consume better media.
Just stumbled over the latest take on #politics and #socialTech by @mmasnick out here @carsaredumb, you mean @jeffjarvis should promote that kind of content instead of feeding his anger and wasting the limited time of his followers somewhere else?
" A plastic move, called #socialMedia "
I guess @carsaredumb somehow, besides the profesion and so on, it's a kind of love/hate relationship @jeffjarvis is stuck in.
I'm continiously reminded of this SPLIFF song, I guess, in part because of the "in the end we're all junkies" line:
Maybe a refrase is needed, like:
"Feeding a habit that recicles, with every click that crosses the counter of your local dopamine shop."

@jesuisatire @jeffjarvis here is your fu**ing un-paywalled link https://archive.fo/bzkhS
Why would I want to read a f*** st*** take from an idi*** billionairs newspaper on a screen @meercat0?
I wouldn't even be able to use it as toilet paper once finished the sh**ty reading. And that would be most likely the only f*** thing from the f*** #disunitedStates (ok that's actually a good thing) useful at all now a days.
Like to say:
WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!
(Stares at st*** for too long). Uh, apologies @jesuisatire @meercat0 , but is that just _stupid_ or is my vocabulary missing a cool swear starting with ‘st’?
@jesuisatire @meercat0 My preferred adjectives are precaffeinated and insomniac. And I really needed a studly stultifying cussy stand-in for s(i)tuations starting with st.
You mean @meercat0 that @jeffjarvis could post archive.fo links all the time?

#PostOfTheWeek (season 2):
If you stub your toe or slam your finger in a door, there’s a good chance the first thing out of your mouth is a four-letter word. But although swearing is a near-universal feature of language, it is still considered taboo by many.
