Twitter Tapestries
Description: This T-shirt features a vintage 1919 magazine image of a woman driving a car along with the text "Get in loser, we're quitting social media." If you are sick of fake social media bullshit and feel like throwing your phone away to live in a cabin on a lake somewhere, this design is for you. Despite its convenience, modern life is way too full of anxiety and it actually kind of sucks. Let's start a major social media backlash. Deactivate now and stop enriching social media billionaires like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, whose products have divided us politically, caused mental health crises for an entire generation, and ruined our society!
Description: "Smithereens" is the second episode of the fifth series of the anthology series Black Mirror. It was written by Charlie Brooker and directed by James Hawes. The episode first aired on Netflix, along with the rest of series five, on 5 June 2019. It stars Andrew Scott, Damson Idris, and Topher Grace. In the episode, a rideshare driver takes an employee of Smithereen, a large social media company, hostage. Unlike most other episodes, Brooker wanted "Smithereens" to not rely on near-future technology as a reminder that Black Mirror is not solely a science fiction show. It is largely a parable on the overactive usage of social media sites like Twitter, and how they distract society from the real world.
