Infowars are so powerful, and we're so ill-prepared to meet them.

Yesterday, I was struck by how much media illiteracy reigns. How gullible we still are in every news cycle.

Is it genuine?

Or do people know full well what they're weaponizing?

That's the kind of despair infowars breed.

One no longer knows if one's neighbours are being honestly manipulated or eager participants in their own manipulation.

All one knows is that propaganda reigns, and has made the world unsafer yet again.

Anyway, good morning, and good Tuesday to all of you. ☕

We have *so* much psychological damage to address in the coming years.

But we're not going to heal overnight (if at all). And no coronal mass ejection is going to save us from problems online, alas.

All we can do is try not to be angry with ourselves and others for living through such stupid, cruel, and stressed-out times.

We're all doing the best we can. 🫂💛
