I love horror shows and films and watch mainly that genre. Sometimes, I think about posting more movie reviews. Then I think maybe I should keep some things I for myself instead of making it a post. Social media is always trying to push you to "post what you like," but I wanna keep liking it. 😩

Social media is so overrun with bots and bot campaigns, it's a joke. Why use it anymore? I logged into Reddit today and ten posts are about the same person, all random subreddits, all basically the same arguments. Then I refresh and new topic but the same. Bots, bots, bots. It's not worth using.

I see many conservatives are posting all the time now about women with peripartum psychosis killing their kids, like how they post about immigrant crime. It's another way to attack a group they hate. Women, those with mental illness. If they wanted to help kids, they'd fund mental health services.

Taylor Lorenz posting about social media addiction not being real (you can't be addicted to talking to your friends, I saw her say) reminded me of this meme.

I'd be okay with case closure decreasing if it meant getting rid of flock cameras. It seems US society is unfortunately trending toward more surveillance and oversight for the average person and less for the wealthy and corporations. Each generation accepts a little more invasion of their privacy.

If you are disturbed by some women supporting Lindsay Clancy because they empathize with (underacknowledged) peripartum psychosis, you should see how many men support and defend other men who beat, rape, enslave or traffic, and murder women. The men don't even usually have a mental illness defense.

I never thought I'd say that I am tired of seeing videos depicting kittens, but I hate videos of dancing AI kittens. They're bad and obnoxious. Dancing AI kitten videos take what makes a kitten cute, such as that it doesn't usually dance on two legs, and turns it unlikeable and grotesque. Garbage!

I don't like Hasan Piker much even though I agree with him on various social and political topics. He's justified in suing Scott Jennings for defamation. Defamation laws are generally a good thing; social liars do more harm than defamation lawsuits. I think liars should face steeper consequences.

J. Gibson @planarlost.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Taylor Lorenz denies social media addiction by equating it to the idea that you can't be addicted to talking to your friends. Her reasoning largely ignores the extensive literature on echo chambers and filter bubbles, among other things. Her view seems woefully compromised.

I saw someone say "boycotting media is Woke 1.0." Is this true? So far, I see Woke 2.0/Dark Woke means mainly White leftists on social media think they can use ableist slurs and be racist and sexist if the target is politically convenient. What else does Woke 2.0 do to mirror reactionary behavior?

Users on Hasan Piker's subreddit are discussing the revisionist history he and others are doing about Hasan and his fans supporting Graham Platner. Thing is, Hasan and his fans always do this. They lie often. Everything is "out of context." But this time, he may have gone too far to lie his way out.

100

J. Gibson @planarlost.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

I think most online outside of Hasan Piker and many of his fans saw Graham Platner was a bad bet from the start. I'm still not sure why they went in so hard for him. The pro-Platner sentiment almost felt like astroturfing that actually worked and hoodwinked Hasan and his community. A bit unnerving.

010

J. Gibson @planarlost.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

Wild watching a large part of Hasan Piker's community now argue he never liked Graham Platner much. Their usual revisionist history. His subreddit went from mostly pro-Platner to disliking him overnight. Bots? Astroturfing? Are many White leftist American men online just horrible allies? All three?

010

J. Gibson @planarlost.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

On Graham Platner, American commentators need to care much more about non-Americans who aren't White. Have a moral, material center. Americans are so indoctrinated by American exceptional/imperialism, even on the left. Overlook direct participation in racist slaughter to win a single seat in Maine.

I've decided to split the fourth book on my series into four internal "parts." I like when books do this and I had an idea for an arc I think (hope) will be exciting to write and read. #WritingCommunity

Social media is ~60% bots talking to and posting for each other so billionaires and millionaires can trade money back and forth while extracting wealth from average folk little by little. Then ~60% of the content posted by humans for humans is extreme or rage-bait trying to break through the noise.

J. Gibson @planarlost.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

Anyone else dislike when directors, authors, and other creators explain all the mysteries of their stories? I think if something in a creation proper was intentionally ambiguous, you should leave it that way instead of explaining it. Discussing possibilities is half the fun!

I've been rewriting hours a day for weeks. Might post a chapter of my series prequel and send it in a newsletter. I go back and read the writing in my first books and see prose I'd change in nearly every paragraph! Mainly cutting unnecessary words I wouldn't use now. 😩 Oh, well. #WritingCommunity

More people should know Anthony Fantano is essentially a SlopTuber who engagement baits by being a lame, smug jackass on social media. I think he often rates music in any genre, maybe outside of rap, based on how he feels about the artist rather than the merits of the immediate music in question.

J. Gibson @planarlost.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

Every few months, people are surprised to see Taylor Lorenz doing something gross online. This is the person who argues social media is good for kids and quietly deleted one such post when I shared evidence from psychology showing, in general, it isn't. She's not a great advocate for progressivism.

J. Gibson @planarlost.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

I enjoyed seasons 1/2 of House of the Dragon and episode 1 of 3. I finally read one of George RR Martin's books last year. It was pretty good. But I think it's gross to attack an adaptation of your work, leave the actors to be harassed by your fans, then say nothing to defend them. So, fuck GRRM.

J. Gibson @planarlost.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

My partner and I attend concerts each year and saw Halsey live in 2025. It's safe to say her show experience was far more enjoyable than any content I've ever watched by smarmy jerk Anthony Fantano. It's a bit apples and oranges, but I think we often lend "professional critics" too much credence.

Reddit would be a lot more enjoyable to use if there was a tool to automatically block anyone who uses a snark subreddit. I don't get on there much because Reddit is so toxic, but that would take care of one of the worst elements. Snark spaces insulate the mind from all normal reason about a topic.

J. Gibson @planarlost.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

I think the best thing we can do is minimize social media use when possible. Enjoy life, spend time with loved ones. Watch, read, play, do what makes us happy. Get involved/advocate in our communities offline. Cutting my social media use down to two/fewer hours a week has been nothing but positive.

J. Gibson @planarlost.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

I think a problem the left has is explanation. Most leftists can tell you what they think revolution should be, but far fewer the hows of everything after. I watched a stream of Hasan Piker once where he couldn't explain how his ideal system would actually function. Most capitalists can do this.

J. Gibson @planarlost.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

Is anyone else sometimes demoralized by all the lying on the internet and in media? People say things about others without any proof, or even the implication of seeking the truth. Hyperpartisanship feels hopelessly out of control. There's no broad space online for "regular" people anymore.

I'm not a fan of Hasan Piker or his community, but Trump, his administration, and the GOP are far worse. If it was a race to see who's most terrible, they would have lapped Piker several times. There's no good reason to celebrate him being targeted by the feds unless you're a conservative, I guess.

Sadly, it seems most people won't advocate for those living with schizophrenia unless they know someone diagnosed. I've even seen people get angry researchers bother to examine schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is used as an insult, a scapegoat, a bogeyman. It must end. Support:

It's a red flag to me when I see someone's community spend more time complaining about "wokescolds" than reactionary behavior like ableism, racism, misogyny. First thing it tells me is the community is mostly made up of White guys, probably American. Who are your favorite intersectional leftists?
