On the last Friday of every month I curate several of the observations and understandings that were shared on social media. I call these Friday’s Finds
“The internet really did not make us silly. It made stupidity scalable.” — J.A. Westenberg
“Everything faded right into mist. The past was eliminated, the erasure was forgotten, the lie came to be fact.” — George Orwell,’ 1984
“you can provide someone a fish and after that instruct them to fish. It’s a whole lot easier to discover just how to fish when you’re not starving.” — ebel aurora
“Employers: Everybody has to return to the workplace, due to the fact that we function best when people collaborate face-to-face.

“The proof is clear that people of all ages struggle to make sense of the overwhelming amount of details that they come across online, and we require to figure out means to sustain people, to discover far better means to understand the content that streams throughout their tools.”
Pluralistic: Sarah Wynn-Williams’s ‘Careless Individuals’
Facebook tames its workers, freeing it from labor consequences for its bad acts. As engineering supply catches up with demand, Facebook’s leadership come to realize that they do not need to fret about workforce uprisings, whether prompted by impunity for sexually violent managers, or by the company’s complicity in genocide and autocratic oppression.
Initially, Facebook comes to be as well large to fail.
After that, Facebook comes to be also huge to jail.
Ultimately, Facebook ends up being also large to care.This is the “recklessness” that inevitably transforms Facebook for the even worse, that transforms it right into the hellscape that Wynn-Williams is ultimately fired from after she speaks out once too often. Facebook managers aren’t simply “reckless” since they reject to review a briefing note that’s longer than a tweet. They’re “reckless” in the feeling that they reach a point where they don’t have to care who they hurt, whom they infuriate, that they spoil.
