If you want to tune out and relax after a long day, you might turn to social media, online shopping or playing games on your phone. But a new study suggests that these activities might actually stress you out more.

I see Bluesky has changed how trending topics work, but they still very, very much assume you are in America with no option to change it to something more relevant to somewhere nearer where you are...

why is james the long-form for jim? why not jimothy?

read recently that there is no such thing as social media anymore. that all social media is now engagement media. and this makes so much sense.

the thing about meta glasses is that they were created by a human being whose entire claim to fame was a platform to rate (read: disparage) the women at his school because none of them would date him.
