The Blackout
It isn’t the blackout itself that changes things, though that’s what all the talking heads will yammer about later.

The moment just before the darkness, when a single notification sears through the air like a bitch slap to humanity.

A Known Issue
Carter hadn’t always been like this. Once, he had walked the trails in the woods behind his house for hours, sometimes working his way home in the dark. Never a broken ankle, hardly ever a bruised shin, and always a sense that this was where he belonged. An innate sense of purpose and direction that he imagined rose deep from his DNA, instilled in his essence by his hunter-gatherer ancestors.

A Political Extremism Factory: How Social Media is Producing Political Polarization
The rise of social media has come with many benefits. It has allowed easier communication and the creation of community among people that otherwise may not have had it. It gives voices and platforms to everyday people and grants the average person access to virtually endless amounts of information to educate themselves on. However, as social media continues to grow and become an integral part of many people’s everyday lives we have seen the downsides. We have seen what happens when those communities that social media has created grow toxic and dangerous, and what happens when the “information” being spread is harmful and untrue. These things are especially true when it comes to politics on social media. The rapid spread of political misinformation and disinformation, assisted by social media algorithms, and the creation of echo chambers consisting of extremist ideologies has led to a significant increase in political polarization. Social media is turning average voters into political extremists, and it is having real world repercussions. There has been an increase in political attacks, most of which were at least partially assisted by social media, and it is becoming more clear than ever that social media is contributing to a more violent political landscape with its promotion of extremists' ideologies.
