This is a particularly bad subject for a first blog on this… blog… but part of what I want out of this blog is a place to put less thought-out and less overtly political feelings, and this is something that I can’t get off my chest otherwise, so we’re starting here.
I think I’m largely abandoning social media as a place to be social. I am a weird guy with weird interests. I don’t enjoy going to sports games and shit like that all that much, I don’t like making sure I keep up with all the latest movies, I don’t like reading must-read books, and I don’t like listening to must-hear shows. Those things are simply not interesting to me. Because of that, I’ve always seen being online as a way to connect with people who do things I’m interested in and think in ways I appreciate.
What’s become clear to me, however, is that I haven’t gotten anything out of this.
