Some top headlines from the news feed today:
"Elly de la Cruz Vomits"
"Heartbreaking Video Shows Texas Woman's Final Moments"
"Mom Goes Viral for Embarrassing Behavior"
"Mom of 8 With Stage 3 Breast Cancer Breaks Down In Tears"
" 'The Waltons' Actress Dies"
"Woman Whose face Was Ripped Off By Chimp Shares Update" *
"Livvy Dunne Stuns Fans With NSFW Comment"
*I want to emphasize that these are all real headlines, including this one.
Apparently, I want to read stories about women who barf, cry, die of cancer, get savaged by animals, and make crude comments, all in order to break my heart.
I do my best to lighten my digital footprint. I use script blockers, ad blockers, and many other shields. I've set my browsers to delete my data as soon as a web site closes. Cookies are crunched. Watch and search histories are deleted automatically.
Clearly I've been successful. The internet thinks I'm a female celebrity gossip junky who alternately laughs at schadenfreude one moment and gets weepy the next.
Yay?
