Unrelated to US politics, but I genuinely worry about how social media is fucking over the older generations.
My mother in law is 76, and only gets her news from Facebook these days. On Saturday she told me that Sadiq Khan, the London Mayor, has been voted out during the week. Fuck knows where she got that from because it’s just not true. She doesn’t even live in London, but he’s a demon to the kind of ‘news’ sources she’ll read because he’s a lefty who does lefty things.
