Remember, the things that you’re liable to read on a computer screen, they ain’t necessarily so.

It’s All about the Algorithm 0

At Psychology Today Blogs, Robyn Koslowitz discusses a TikTok challenge which, as nears as I can figure out, involves parents telling kids to go into a bathroom, telling them it’s a safe space where they can curse all they want. Then the parents record the result and post it to “social” media.

Koslowitz lists a number of reasons that this is a bad idea, starting with the idea that it’s a betrayal of trust (that is, saying that a place is safe, then then violating that space. The line that caught my eye, though, was this:

When a parent is filming their child for the sake of content creation, the focus moves off the child and parenting and onto an algorithm.

One more time, “social” media isn’t.

The Swift Vote Conspiracy 0

Rex Huppke wonders how the right-wing ever saw through the dastardly plot. A snippet:

As a liberal in good standing, all I can say is: Dammit, how did they figure it out?

I guess some of it was obvious. Pop superstar Swift has encouraged young people to register to vote and get involved in the electoral process, while her Chiefs tight-end boyfriend Travis Kelce has encouraged people to get vaccinated to protect themselves and others from a deadly and wildly contagious virus. Those are pretty liberal things to do.

But I didn’t think right-wing sleuths would connect the dots this quickly.

Oh well. The vaccinated cat is out of the reusable shopping bag, so I might as well let everyone in on the entire plan.

To echo Paul Harvey, follow the link for the rest of plan.
