If I recognize AI voice narration on your video I get psychic damage and click away as fast as possible :(

Instagram is getting so overwhelming for me:
- Tiny mute buttons on posts with the smallest hitbox possible
- Every ad I see gives me psychic damage
- Trying to swipe through a carousel post switches the page to the reels feed where I'm bombarded with content I didn't want
- If I click into a video to watch it, the goddamn shaking animation which moves the content up and down to remind me that I can doomscroll reels. The animation can't be stopped and is so distracting
- Various other unexpected behavior from missed touches resulting in content opening that I didn't ask for, or mute buttons not working at all
I hate that I have to use it to find events in my area
I just watched the Artemis 2 interview where Kristina and Reid are playing catch with Rise the moon plushie in zero G and I'm crying with joy it makes me so happy
Some context I found:
"ForbesPredict invites readers to predict outcomes on the stories Forbes covers. Predictions are aggregated in real time to show the collective view. There's no money at stake; users build reputation through accuracy, creating a track record that compounds over time."
"Unlike real-money prediction market platforms, ForbesPredict is built for readers, not traders. There's no wagering, no leverage, no regulatory burden."
I'm concerned that it will evolve into gambling, but currently this feature doesn't seem to involve money.
Money or not, the prediction widget in the Forbes post feels insensitive https://www.forbes.com/sites/pr/2026/01/23/forbes-partners-with-axiom-to-launch-forbespredict-a-first-of-its-kind-prediction-platform-built-for-media/
Cackling at the narrator of the NASA Artemis II livestream
"All four crew members are 'green'. That is not their complexion. That is their status."
6 days until open deck night. Time to stop procrastinating... tomorrow
