...with special needs off of internet.

TL;DR: ******** makes silly image joke. Teen retweets it to Daisy Ridley. DR "stands up" to teen. 1.4 million followers and various media outlets do as fans and media outlets do. DR realizes what they're doing, but it's too late.

But at least it's not something serious like Stephen Universe, or the link text might have read "into attempting suicide" instead of "off of internet".

What I got from that was that some people consider having ADHD to mean you're "retarded".

You've probably heard about the "Body shaming" Instagram post that tagged Daisy Ridley by now.

I feel like I'm not the intended audience for this.

The Eastern Roman Empire wasn't the intended victim of the fourth crusade, but the crusaders sacked Constantinople all the same.

None of us give the slightest **** or have the slightest clue what he's banging on about, but Poldaran's going to tell us all anyway. Such is zealotry, such is life.

And this is why I avoid social media as much as possible, especially twitter. Well, that and... let's face it. 140 characters? Not happening.

Honestly, my biggest annoyance in all of this "new media" is stuff like this:

The author places the blame on what happened firmly in the lap of the media, and concludes that us as a society have an unhealthy obsession with celebrities.


*cringe*. We. Seriously?

Eh, it's like avoiding the bookstore because a lot of books are crap. Or TV. Sure, you insulate yourself from some crap but you miss out on good or useful stuff as well.

I use Twitter to follow a number of people in the political sphere (pundits, politicians, political scientists, etc) who interest me and find out a lot of interesting stuff without having to read any Tumblr inspired nonsense (or nonsense from the anti-Tumblr crowd) or garbage about celebrities.

You avoid regular media as well, if your "insight" into various topics is any indication.
