Never forget: The CEO of Nexstar Media Group once said that the coronavirus pandemic would be good for his business because people would be stuck at home with nothing more to do than watch TV.

"I think advertisers see the value in that."

Legitimate question here: before Weird Al Yankovic released 'Amish Paradise,' how prevalent was the thought of or appearance of the Amish and/or Mennonites in even casual conversation, much less pop culture?

Here’s last night’s story about public media, who it serves, what we can do to counteract the Trump administration’s budget cuts to it, and why the answer is “sell Russell Crowe’s jock strap.” You’ll see. youtu.be/yknMJOgy2pA

Gonna spend some quality time with 'The American Revolution' for the next couple days. And thanks to the @pbs.org Passport, I'll have this series wrapped early. This is essential viewing.

And this graphic halfway through the first episode hits so much harder these days...

The call is coming from inside the house.

Gotta love this sequence jumble just to watch a Bucks game.

It's available over-the-air in Madison tonight (1st image), but not the live local channel stream on Paramount+ (2nd image), but somehow (and this is new to me), I can watch it on... {checks notes} Pluto TV (3rd & 4th).

Because obviously.

Almost 10 years to the day after we begged to get rid of it, the final penny has been pressed by the U.S. mint. Farewell, penny! We're sure Americans will find something else to put in our pockets and up our asses soon enough. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tys...

After 232 years, the U.S. Mint has retired the penny.

The end of its production comes amid a years-long farce of the government producing coins that cost more to make than they are worth. https://wapo.st/47DdYAZ
