"Every newspaper, from the first line to the last, is nothing but a tissue of horrors. Wars, crimes, thefts, licentiousness, torture, crimes of princes, crimes of nations, individual crimes, an intoxicating spree of universal atrocity. And it’s this disgusting aperitif that the civilised man consumes at breakfast each morning ... I do not understand how a pure hand can touch a newspaper without a convulsion of disgust."

- "In the 1860s, Charles Baudelaire bemoaned what we might now call doomscrolling", as reported under the heading "Elegance and hustle" by Max McGuinness in Aeon, 16 January 2025.
