Just say no to doomscrolling

[LeftInTX]

11. I was watching the new season 2 of the comedy series "Mo". (Short for Mohammed)

In real life and in the series, he's a Palestinian refugee. (In real life he's a former refugee) The series is kinda like Seinfeld in that it is based on his real life to some extent.

Oct 7 happens and you can "feel it" in the second season's writing. (First season was from 2022)

Mo's aunts and uncles live on the West Bank. His mom is constantly doom scrolling, for obvious reasons. He finally says to his mom, "Put that down, it's making you crazy".

But if Mo can tell his mom to stop doom scrolling, I think a lesson can be learned here.

I also think doom scrolling riled up many of the pro-Palestinian protesters. (However, feeds were pushed like that on purpose by Hamas. Hamas was on telegram and then their stuff would get pushed on other SM. Also AJ and other Arabic media in Gaza were good at repeating gore)
