 Since I started reading Twitter, my opinion of humanity got significantly worse.

And Russian and English-language Twitter do it in different ways. With Russian Twitter, it's mostly issues of everyday life, relationships, etc. Russian Twitter is very small, and it seems that any large-scale kerfuffle will drift into your feed whether you like it or not. And what it does to me is mostly proving that men are terribly poor stuff. Like, every possible type of a nasty misogynist male that always seemed like 'surely it's a caricature!" turns out to be real.

As for English-language Twitter, I get a lot of right-wingers in my feed, it seems (because it turns out if you follow accounts about books and classical learning, they often tend to be right-wing), and especially American ones. And here I also see things I thought to be a caricature. Like actual people saying that the Pope is not Christian but Catholic. I feel like maybe I should read up about all this non-denominational Christianity, because it's so bizarre sometimes.

... maybe I should read less Twitter, yes, but when I am tired and not in the mood, I can't concentrate on books, I read Twitter and play casual games on my phone.
