Weinstein Scandal: This is why Uma Thurman is angry — The New York Times —
“This Is Serious”: Facebook Begins Its Downward Spiral | Vanity Fair — “For years, Zuckerberg and Facebook have tromped through the technology landscape and demolished everything that stood in the way. This was done without any reprisal, without any consequence. In fact, each time the company destroyed a competitor, or found a way around traditional regulatory concerns, the valuation of Facebook would go up. But now, it seems that all of those actions are coming back to haunt the company, and social media as a whole. “

Adrienne Lafrance: Donald Trump’s Very Retro Tabloid Scandal — “Yet the American tabloid is still the place where reality television meets celebrity meets untrue stories masquerading as real. Where else would you expect to find Donald Trump? His message is still as tabloid‑y as they come: Believe me, he says. And then he says it again: Believe me. And it doesn’t really matter if you do, as long as you keep paying attention.”

Scripting News: Facebook is not thriving, for me — “I don’t feel it’s too hyper to say Facebook is dying.”
Fire and Fury Is a Perfectly Postmodern White House Book — The Atlantic — ” Wolff has written a self-conscious, untrustworthy, postmodern White House book. How else, he might argue, can you write about a group as self-conscious, untrustworthy, and postmodern as this crew? Of course, that is not the only possible answer. You can resist the culture as well as embracing it, and the majority of journalists—and of Trump’s critics and opponents—have done exactly that, continuing to insist on standards of factuality and decency that Trump blithely ignores. What makes Fire and Fury important is that it is not just about Trump, but a product of the same culture that produced Trump: It is “reality” journalism, in the same way that Trump is a “reality” character. And the vast success of the book may be a sign that, in journalism as in literature and politics, “reality,” rather than old-fashioned truth, is the wave of the future.”

Day 358 | What The Fuck Just Happened Today? —
Washington Monthly | How to Fix Facebook—Before It Fixes Us — “Thanks to the U.S. government’s laissez-faire approach to regulation, the internet platforms were able to pursue business strategies that would not have been allowed in prior decades. No one stopped them from using free products to centralize the internet and then replace its core functions. No one stopped them from siphoning off the profits of content creators. No one stopped them from gathering data on every aspect of every user’s internet life. No one stopped them from amassing market share not seen since the days of Standard Oil. No one stopped them from running massive social and psychological experiments on their users. No one demanded that they police their platforms. It has been a sweet deal.”
Is There Something Neurologically Wrong With Donald Trump? — The Atlantic —
Humans of New York — “My mother’s friends say that I’m just like her. She died of breast cancer when I was two years old. (…) one year at Thanksgiving, my aunt told me that my mother had left me a letter and a video. She got so angry when I told her I’d never gotten it.”
Humans of New York — ““I’m pretty sure I’m a sociopath. (…) By the time I got to high school, I was a monster. I only cared about being the best. I was a bully. I’d argue just for the sake of arguing. I would destroy any belief, just to be right. (…) I’m not sure I feel empathy. But I do always try to make the empathetic choice. It’s an intellectual thing for me. I’m intellectually convinced of the need for empathy.

I didn’t write anything into this category for almost 2½ years. In a way I thought the internet and the social networks would grow up and postings that fit into this category would vanish. I was wrong. What actually changes is that people aren’t ashamed of their utterings no matter how ridiculus they are as open statements.
