My new version of #doomscrolling is looking at Pinterest finding puns. Living the dream.

A photograph of the marquee sign for El Arroyo, a restaurant in Austin, Texas.
The sign is set in front of the restaurant building. The top part of the sign has the name "El Arroyo" in red script, with a small Texas outline graphic that says "Austin" next to it.
The main part of the marquee sign features a joke in large, black, block letters against a white background:
WHY DO COWS
HAVE HOOVES?
BECAUSE
THEY LACTOSE
Below the main sign, a white banner with blue text displays the social media information: "LIKE US ON FACEBOOK /ELARROYOATX" and "FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM @ELARROYO_ATX".
The background includes a yellow and green building to the left, another part of the restaurant complex in the distance to the right, and a large, spiky palm frond partially obscuring the right side of the image. The sky is overcast.

Feel like 'DoomScrolling'? You can now play Doom on your preferred Web Browser! Only catch, it only seems to work on the Desktop side, I do not have any luck on getting this to work on the mobile side.

Is it just me or has cable TV reinvented itself?

Not so long ago bundling options provided potentially hundreds of channels to consume. Even with so many channels available it felt like there was “nothing on” so to speak, or “more” equals “less” in actuality.

Did the advent of streaming channels and binge watching contribute to an illusion of choice? Providers might have figured out what you’d want to watch and divvied up the available offerings amongst themselves so you’d need multiple subscriptions to satisfy your show and movie desires, eerily resembling cable TV bundles again 🤔

Now after being saddled with multiple providers, it feels like there’s “nothing on,” yet again, and one might reach a breaking point and begin doomscrolling on social media instead 😐

Here’s a cheesy attempt to describe my impressions graphically 😁

#cableTV #streaming #doomScrolling #moreIsLess 🔹

Makeshift line chart theorizing a causal relationship between the number of television channels available, fewer things to watch with more offerings, plus the time and effort time required to search through all the channels. At the intersection of nothing to watch and time spent searching, there is a breakpoint switching over to doomscrolling on social media.

RE: mastodon.social/@Daojoan/11569

At first, I wanted to shout out loud: No, we don't all have #brainrot! No, this is a typical US-problem.
But read the article! @Daojoan provides a clever, incisive analysis of what is going wrong with #communication. The #goodNews: you can learn how to fight it. A great text for discussions in #journalism.
Perhaps I have some more optimism than she because I also work with cultural heritage and see the thirst for a real change.

A pic from late this summer🌸🍃

This flower, Himalayan balsam or kiss-me-on-the-mountain or "giant balsam" (jättipalsami), is not a native flower in Finland and it has been labeled as one of the invasive species. But it's still beautiful and also very intriguing with it's exploding seed pods and the fact that it can grow over 3m high!

Tự xây dựng ứng dụng chống lướt Facebook vô thức vì các app hiện tại đều kém hiệu quả: yêu cầu thao tác thừa, hoặc để mở khóa bằng nút "hoàn thành" vô nghĩa. Giải pháp mới của tác giả: ứng dụng cung cấp 1 sự kiện thú vị kèm mini quiz, dự kiến ra MVP trong 1-2 tuần. Bạn nghĩ phương án này có hiệu quả không? #DoomScrolling #AntiAddiction #ỨngDụngTiệnIch #SángTạoCôngNghệ #PhòngChốngLướtNhiều

Vedo un intorpidimento generale delle interazioni umane online, che sia perché finalmente le persone hanno scoperto che esiste un mondo fuori da internet? Oppure perché sono tutti ipnotizzati dal #doomscrolling sulle piattaforme di video brevi?

I’m still stuck #doomscrolling on IG, but so much of what’s on there is convincing #ai generated slop. 🙄 That computing power could be put to better use although the 80s version of myself I posted previously was funny.

Liebes Gemüsevolk, hiermit verabschiede ich mich als Turnierleitung des #Gemüseturnier.s.

Es war mir eine Ehre, so vielen Internetbewohnern mit einer Alternative zum #doomscrolling eine Freude zu machen und die vielen Diskussionen um die Vorzüge der Gemüsesorten zu verfolgen.

Vielen Dank meinem Instanz-Admin @dentaku (ich hoffe, der Traffic war nicht lästig) und den Helferlein @mirabilos und @henry_null fürs Sichtbarmachen der Zahlen! Und natürlich euch allen fürs gut gelaunte Mitfiebern.

Ein winkendes, außerordentlich niedliches Mairübchen (handgezeichnet)

The funny thing about news stories about people doomscrolling obsessively on their phones is that I can't imagine staring at a phone for hours. I'll do it with a tablet, or even with my laptop, but reading anything on a phone is abject torture.
