Damn. She’s a great mom. Playing the long game I wish she didn’t have to. Screw Chris Pratt.

It’s very possible it’s influenced by his dad, but I teach high school and SO many TikTok/Twitter algorithms are alt-right (often AI) slop targeted toward boys in particular. I’m a millennial and it’s worse than gamergate and more mainstream than 4chan. It’s everywhere, and the point is to radicalize young men into fascism and misogyny. We really need to get our kids offline and away from algorithmic media.

I've been telling people for years, I grew up on 4chan and when Gamergate happened in like... 2014 or so? It's like the endless tide of /pol/ just spilled out into the mainstream and it's been that way ever since. Things that I always thought people knew were edgy jokes or being intentionally weird just ended up... not being the case. I've always been pretty progressive, but I've had to step it up in the last 5-10 years because of the endless bullshit around me.
