Life is like a mirror. That which we try to project is merely a reflection of ourselves. That insight applies not only to individuals, but entire countries too.

I'm sure that working in social media - dealing with people as mass statistical abstractions - is a cognitohazard, the sort of thing that could make anyone a little solipsistic, convinced that everyone else is a kind of stimulus-responding automaton lacking the interiority that you experience. 1/

Anyone who has looked at Reform UK finances has always sensed there was something dodgy going on, but this level of subterfuge and double dealing is quite spectacular. As @carolecadwalla.bsky.social explains in her excellent new piece in @thenerve.news this thrived all in post Brexit impunity

I remember her words spoken as my friends lay dying in the 1980s and 1990s. I remember those words that sought to hurt us. And yet I wished her no harm, but neither would I grieve her passing. I don't think she was a good person in life, and I worry that we'll end up lionising her in death.

Yes, Sarah Wynn-Williams did seem to break her non-disparagement clause when she wrote Careless People. But Meta's bonkers campaign to silence her shows that her criticism of Zuck & Co is well grounded. www.wired.com/story/metas-...

Meta’s Pursuit of the 'Careless People' Author Is Relentless and Self-Defeating

Yes, Sarah Wynn-Williams violated her deal to stay silent. But the power disparity bolsters the view that Meta is a heartless bully.

So, that's what a flounce look like. Narcissism at its purest.
