A blistering, wise, and hilarious argument on how social media and political activism are fated never to intertwine. Social media was supposed to pull us together for noble causes, but doomscrolling might not have been what most of us had in mind. Elon Musk might have ruined Twitter, but "he's merely Twitter's all-too-Dantean punishment."
