    Between November and now, I worked pretty diligently to create a wall around me to avoid these topics. Unfollowing, blocking, filtering.

    Once the inauguration happened, I discovered that the concrete I used was faulty and full of holes. The black, fetid water of these lunatics seeped in from all directions.

    Tech news, cultural news, arts, all possible other topics that I thought were safe within the walls I built are now covered with sludge.

    I so tired of this shit. How did we let this happen?

        Dude, I was up on the news and very diligent in many things.

        You don’t know where I live, you don’t know what I’ve done up to November, nor where I’ve worked.

        I spent literally the last few months of my entire fucking life trying to shut out this shit so it doesn’t tank my mental health to a degree that would likely kill me.

        So please, spare me your fucking judgment.

      I’ve been having this problem since 2016.

      No matter how many filters you throw at it, there’s always images, videos, and people self-censoring to get around them.

      It’s infected everyone and everything, like a virus.

      Searching for a way out. I’m sure there’s somewhere safe out there…

        Ironically, for all that I’m sick of hearing about AI AI AI AI AI AI AI everywhere, maybe a really good prompt could plug the few remaining holes…
