We all need breaks.
Longer term, yeah, a disengaged, disinterested community is not good and leads to people falling easily for misinformation from bad faith actors.
Saying that, I've streamed some marvellous shows over summer!

I’ve been so surprised at the number of people deliberately tuning out of current affairs. Conversations usually start with a request for recommendations on good programs for streaming. The reason given for news avoidance is always the way politicians interviewed are just spreading hatred #auspol

How the actual fuck is the Friday night session of the Melania movie sold out at Palace Central in Sydney?
People deciding to hate watch it while drunk?
Some uni student prank? (but uni isn't back yet?)

Interesting that in parts of the media there is more outrage at Hoodoo Gurus taking a swipe at Pauline Hanson than at someone throwing a home made explosive device into a crowd of people.

So to sum up: ancient fact - we can identify brothels by floor-plans and artwork, but they are not usually associated with mass infant remains.
Contemporary fact: JD Vance is a liar and his supporters are every bit as stupid as he thinks they are.
