Stop Engaging With Online Content That Makes You Angry

”Some poor, phoneless fool is probably sitting next to a waterfall somewhere totally unaware of how angry and scared he’s supposed to be.” -Duncan Trussell

We all get baited into clicking on content that makes us angry, or fuels “our side” of a contentious topic. The problem is that once you start engaging with “rage bait” content (politics, culture war, news, etc) the social media algorithms, which aren’t that bright yet, assume this is ALL you want to see.

Paul Delaroche, The execution of Lady Jane Grey (1834)

Paul Delaroche’s “The Execution of Lady Jane Grey” (1834) is a masterclass in the romanticized dramatization of historical events. Like many of his contemporaries, Delaroche was fascinated by the darker episodes of history, particularly those involving the tragic falls of once-powerful figures. His painting depicts the young, unfortunate Queen Jane, who, despite her brief nine-day reign, became a poignant symbol of innocence and betrayal.

What’s So Great About ‘The Wire’?

Let’s not waste time pretending The Wire is just another TV show. It’s not. It’s a five-season dissertation on America, cloaked in the facade of a police procedural. It’s gritty and real, but not in that overused, HBO-kind-of-way where everyone whispers and everything’s shot in sepia tones. No, The Wire is a map of human failure and institutional incompetence, where you realize that no one—not the cops, not the criminals, not the teachers, the politicians, or the press—has any idea what the hell they’re doing.

Why We Turn to Porn When Life Feels Meaningless

Let’s face it, life can be a real drag sometimes. You wake up, go to work, come home, scroll through social media, maybe binge-watch a show, and then hit the hay. Rinse and repeat.

Picture of the Day

Guardian Angels on the NYC subway, 1980

Imagine New York City in 1980: a metropolis that felt more like a battleground than a world-class city. The subway was its own particular brand of dystopia—graffiti-covered, crime-ridden, and dimly lit. It was a place where people went about their daily commutes with the weariness of soldiers in a war zone. The average New Yorker might have been jaded, but the threat of violence was a constant specter lurking just beneath the surface.
