Tweet of the Day, This Is A True Thing edition.

And there’s only one decent way to get around it:

Grit your teeth, keep your temper, and never ever deny what it is that you’ve done.  You’re not required to dance in contrition for the amusement of the rest of the Internet, of course, but we all live in the Fishbowl now.  And we will until the day we die, or civilization falls, or the world ends.

Such is life.

        I’m wondering when parents will start to be taught that they need to teach kids how to ‘curate’ social media accounts. There’s something horrifyingly victorian about the whole thing – comportment as a priority, small improprieties amplified far out of proportion ..

  2. The first rule of the Internet is, everything on the Internet is forever.

    .

    The second rule of the Internet is, you probably don’t need to post whatever angry screed you’re about to post.

    .

    The third rule of the Internet is, you should assume that any picture, video, or sound recording you make or is made of you will eventually find its way onto the Internet. Because honestly, it will.

    .

    The fourth rule of the Internet is, there’s billions of other dummies out there too, and if you keep your head down, you’ll mostly blend in with the crowd.

    1. Bingo.
      .
      Unless your *particular* embarrassing morning / awesome moment ‘goes viral’ .. you’re not going to get noticed .. and that’s actually a *good* thing.
      .
      If a jinn offers you a choice between fame and fortune, choose fortune *every* *single* *time*.
