There's been a lot of fretting recently—some of it from me—about there being Too Much Politics On Here, encouraging people to (A) stop posting so much about it and (B) post about other things. This is a valid concern but I want to take a moment to put a structural lens on this problem.
@glyph this is maybe orthogonal to your thread but a bit of a rhetorical puzzle I've been chewing on lately is how to concisely and memorably communicate "stress is literally physically painfully destroying my body, please, I'm begging you, stop posting misleading Headlines and panic speculation if you're going to talk about current events don't crowd source debunking misinformation please just put in the 30 minutes of rigor yourself" without it reading or reducing to "duh hur im apolitical"
