Yeah, I'm Addicted To Twitter

I hate that I get much of my news, and spend much of my time, doomscrolling on it.  It sucks so much out of me.  First of all, it sucks so much of my time.  Second of all, it is by far the application with the biggest drain of energy out of my phone.  That should be logical, but I swear that it is taking more than it did from my old iPhone, and it's taken more ever since Elon Musk bought it.

And speaking of Musk, I am seeing how Twitter/X has gone from a reputable social media site with standards to one that only pushes Republican shitposters and repeatedly and shamelessly upsells you on stuff I have no interest in buying at all.  The latter is annoying, but unfortunately, the former keeps me tuned in because my outrage keeps getting pushed with any tweet that I either like or hate.  I haven't bought anything from Musk, but I damn well know he is still making money off of me the way I am hooked on that site.

Like I did just now.  I just spent five minutes looking through Twitter/X.  There were some sports tweets, which I enjoy, but a lot of it was about politics, and if I liked that it was bashing Republicans, I like-like-liked it to my heart's content.  And I need to get on my roller, brush my teeth, and go to bed instead of doing that.  Like I said, I'm addicted.  I wonder if I could live without it.  And I wonder if I should.
