Just listened to your appearance on the Last Word and immediately bought it with the Audible credit that was about to expire. There’s one problem solved! :)

It may depend on the era. During my brief time in radio long ago, VOA was talked about by the newscasters as the workplace of last resort and was generally thought of as a font of propaganda. To be fair, that might have been newsroom humor.

A common theme in Musk’s approach is focusing on the expense in isolation without any regard for what benefits it brings, financial or otherwise. Willful blindness, presumably.

Years ago while researching the WWII era, I stumbled across records about physicals for the draft. Turns out that doctors were horrified by the general health of the men they examined. That changed some of my own assumptions about the past.

Do you want a big overview of NSF, explaining things like the fact that 24% of all federally funded academic fundamental research comes from NSF? And that 94% of its budget goes out the door in grants/awards? Here you go. nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/Factsh...

I was in a high school production of Cabaret many years ago. This song and its staging haunted me then and has been coming to mind often lately.

Yes! I've been thinking about that lately. The genre also cultivated contempt and elevated bad behavior, basically its whole reason for being. And of course it gave us the current president. The podcasters built on that legacy.

Do you mean the Lincoln Project? The Bulwark doesn't create ads. Nor have I noticed any fundraising other than subscribing.

Maybe decide what issues you're passionate about first. Then look to see how they're affected. Anything you care deeply about is bound to feel the impact. Act according to your vision and values rather than reacting to theirs.

Shouldn't need more than one. I run it on several devices. Are you using the app, a browser, or a 3rd-party app? Try a different one to see if that helps.

You may have, but I doubt that was commonplace. People were bemoaning lack of civic knowledge and participation back then, too.

Others didn't even wait that long. Funny, though, how their attitude changes when one of theirs dies.

True, but Trump considers it an honor. The cover of Time has long been one of his fetishes. Seems reason enough to deny it to him regardless of how influential he's been.
Given how often this discussion resurfaces, maybe it's time for Time to change its policy.
