There are some intriguing similarities between the political chaos in Japan in the late Sixties, and the political chaos unfolding in America today. I wonder if there is anything to learn from that. blog.pureinventionbook.com/p/politics-c...

Alden is “perplexed” that its potential victims don’t want to “engage.” (“C’mon, friend, let’s just talk about your entrails and how tasty they look.”)...This morning, [Alden] sent another letter, upping the offer to $17.50 and again wondering why no one seems to want to hang out. buff.ly/Q1bX3EQ
Alden Global Capital is still trying to get its hands on The Dallas Morning News
The hedge fund known for gutting newsrooms has bumped up its offer to buy the paper — but Texas law may be what stands in the way of an acquisition.

Incredibly, despite having written about television for 30 years, I have never written an entire piece about King of the Hill. I rectified that here. Special emphasis is given to the Dallas connections. www.dmagazine.com/arts-enterta...
*King of the Hill* Makes Its Triumphant Return
With Bobby running a restaurant in Dallas and dating an SMU coed, the most Dallas show ever gets even more Dallas on August 4.

I think it's going to be more important than ever that #mastodon and the #fediverse are not centrally operated out of the US like almost every other social media platform out there.

I liked the 1st episode "Homme Fatale". The protagonist reminds me of Jodie Foster. Bill "FANGS" reminds me of Ryan Gosling. #AMurderAtTheEndOfTheWorld 📺 Great soundtrack! No More 'I Love You's
I wrote about pandemic era dreams and compromises and "isolation TV" and A MURDER AT THE END OF THE WORLD, the best new show of the year. For @tnr.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/1767...
“A Murder at the End of the World” Is Isolation TV at Its Best
The new FX show captures fear and confinement better than any on-the-nose pandemic drama.

My 1st skeet! Thanks to @palafo.bsky.social for the invite code! 1st impression: BSky looks a lot like the classic Birdsite. I am keen to get more familiar w/ BSky over the coming days. Aware of all the complaints about Mastodon being too full of social media scolds, I'm giving this a try. 🙂
