Peer to peer journalism is basically the practice of using yer melon to reality test the crap on your phone.

An example: I have a friend in a mid-high legal role in telecom. This person can be “my guy” to chat with about some issue in telecom I have discovered in the news that is giving me heartburn.

I cannot express my recent realization how bizarrely disconnected we are from our own ability to phone a friend and pick their brains. I mean, schedule it by messenger to manage the anxiety as needed. But it seems sort of important to get a clear view from higher ground these days.

    I didn’t think this is a time for us to chill out. There is really fucked up stuff happening around the world.

      It depends. In some cases it is better to keep your head cool to make more weighed decisions

      So correct. The time to chill out is after we have all talked to each other instead of solving it all on our own.
