I wrote a massive essay about @roseybeeme's plane couple thread, leaving strangers alone, and the erosion of the divide between public figures and private citizens, someone stop me
The story of the live-tweeted plane couple (#CatchingFlightsANDFeelings) infuriated me. Here's my analysis of how social media's erosion of the divide between public figures and private citizens is now complete.
I've decided to watch The Social Network again for the first time since I started working in social media four years ago. Let's go, Twitter.
Someone should find Mark Zuckerberg's fictional ex-girlfriend Erica who dumped his arrogant, insulting ass less than four minutes into the movie and put her in charge of the free world.

Ross Dothan's NYTimes column about "The Redistribution of Sex" is a great example of why people who are not well-versed in sexuality as a field should not be writing about topics as fraught as incels and their violent demands of more sexual gratification from women.
Our response to incels should NOT be a thought experiment about sex robots + government sex redistribution programs. It should be a blistering disavowal of their violent, misogynist worldview, and a conversation about creating a healthier, more respectful sexual culture for all.
