Boys raised in dark web corners are turning into edge lords and domestic killers. We need digital hygiene

A Digital Agora where speech is free, hate has no home, and truth is preserved without PROFIT or BILLIONAIRES

A CSPAN like digital 3rd Space

It’s a garden, yes

But there’s a metaphor here for the world at large

This is the garden Carolyn and I are growing this year. She wanted to plant flowers and herbs in my vegetables. Rather than argue about how many vegetables that would displace, I expanded the garden by building another terrace with stones I found on the farm.

Fred Rogers met with a child psychologist every week for 22 years to build his show. She shaped everything: every script, prop, and song. The whole point was to give a child's nervous system time to slow down. In 1984, a single regulatory decision ended all of it.

The psychologist was Dr. Margaret McFarland, who co-founded the Arsenal Family and Children's Center alongside Benjamin Spock and Erik Erikson. She and Rogers understood that the prefrontal cortex in children, the part of the brain that controls impulse, emotion, and attention, takes decades to fully develop. At the start of every episode, Rogers tied his sneakers and changed his sweater while children settled in. Those pauses were intentional, designed to help a child's nervous system shift into a calmer, more focused state.

What ended it had nothing to do with child development science. In 1984, Reagan's FCC chairman Mark Fowler abolished the advertising limits that had protected children's programming from commercial pressure. Toy companies moved within months. Between 1984 and 1985, cartoons tied to toy lines increased by 300%, from a handful of shows to more than 40 animated series. In almost every case, the toy was designed first. The cartoon was built to sell it.

Researchers later put numbers to what parents were already noticing. A 2011 study in Pediatrics from the University of Virginia tested 60 four-year-olds across three groups: one watching SpongeBob, which cuts scene every 11 seconds; one watching a slow PBS show, which cuts scene every 34 seconds; and one drawing. Nine minutes later, all three took tests on attention, impulse control, short-term memory, and problem-solving. The SpongeBob group scored significantly worse across every measure.

In the 1970s, children began watching television around age 4. Research from pediatrician Dimitri Christakis found that by 2009, the average age of first screen exposure had dropped to 4 months, as the content got faster and the audience got younger. Researchers separately found that each additional hour of daily screen time at ages 1 or 3 raised the risk of attention problems at age 7 by 9%.

#BREAKING: Struggling MAGA senior voter: I actually have panic attacks. I’ve heard a couple this past week, and I get very emotional over it. I don’t want to work anymore, but I can’t afford to retire…It’s not an overnight thing, but it’s been two years now. You said you’d bring down the grocery prices. Literally I must be the most angry person when I grocery shop because I buy the same things every week, and I see it jump EVERY WEEK, it’s not every couple month, it’s literally every week.” 😢

🚨 UPDATE: 8 people charged in Sex Ring “Underground Bunker” for Paying adults to Rape their Children and Pets — Ages 3-16. Trial delayed as mom pleads guilty and flips on co-defendants

In Bibb County, Alabama, eight suspects ran a sex trafficking ring out of an underground bunker where children as young as 3 were drugged, bound, and raped with adults paying to abuse them.

Animals were also targeted.

Rebecca Brewer and mother of some of the victims, pleaded guilty to sexual torture and nine counts of first-degree kidnapping. As part of the deal she agreed to testify against the other seven defendants.

The trial for the remaining suspects has been delayed while the case expands, including a federal investigation into at least one of them.

These monsters turned their own kids and pets into victims for profit.

How long will it take for every last one of them to face real justice?

Um homem de 25 anos mandou mensagem para uma menina de 13 anos.

"Oi, gatinha." "Meu sonho é ficar com você." "Seria uma honra tirar a virgindade dela."

O que ele não sabia: era a mãe quem respondia.

A mãe perguntou diretamente: "Isso não é pedofilia?"

Ele deu risada. E marcou o encontro.

Chegou lá — e encontrou a mãe.

Sete dias sem dormir. Conhecia o homem há 20 anos. Viu a filha crescer.

Ela bateu nele. Depois acionou a polícia, fez o boletim e entregou o celular como prova.

Ele foi à delegacia, prestou depoimento.

E foi embora. Não ficou preso.

Uma mãe passou 7 dias em colapso, montou uma operação, colheu as provas, entregou tudo — e o Estado soltou o homem na mesma noite.

Ela fez o trabalho da polícia, do MP e do judiciário.

E mesmo assim, não foi suficiente para mantê-lo atrás das grades.
