It seems obvious that Kimmel, Colbert, et al could easily turn to streaming podcasts/ networks and probably make more then they did on network TV. Meanwhile, the Networks are more or less losing the 18 to 30 demographic. They’ll be left to air reruns of The Golden Girls. Terrestrial TV is finished.

The next time you find yourself in a situation where you have to be in a conversation with somebody who is clearly far right leaning, ask them a simple question. "What was the last book you read". Anecdotally, I've done this several times and I always get a blank stare. Interesting.

If you are not sure about how the man currently occupying the White House is following the playbook of that guy with the funny mustache in Germany, look up the word “Blutzeuge”.

Remember that RAH predicted this current mess in his novel “If This Goes On” in 1940
The story shows what might happen to Christianity in the United States with mass communications, applied psychology, and a hysterical populace.

If all the gun manufacturing stopped tomorrow, there are still millions of weapons out there. Many are unregistered and untraceable. The best solution for now would be to radically increase penalties for gun crimes.
MANDATORY SENTENCES!
NO PAROLE OR PLEA REDUCTION!

Charlie Kirk and The Trolly Problem. Charlie is tied to one set of tracks. Hundreds of children killed in school shootings are tied to the other track. Which way do you throw the switch?

The TV show “Survivor” promotes competition and deception among the contestants. Not cooperation as you would in a true emergency. Now think of how so many people are treating each other today. Also remember that that Trump was a game show host with a similar way of having people treat each other.

The Cognitive Dissonance created by Charlie Kirk's death.
How many today wish that someone dealt with Hitler before his hate speech turned his nation to ashes and killed so many innocents?

People are fond of saying “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes.”
The question then becomes who, in the man occupying the White House’s Cabinet, is most likely to take on the role of Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg?

@hntdove.bsky.social Listening to the Audible version of "Three Miles Down". A neat twist on the history of my twenties.
Thanks

Just a friendly reminder that today is the anniversary of the day Richard M. Nixon resigned. Good times.

Happy Birthday Jerry Garcia. When I watch this video I can't help but think that Jerry, Jimmy and David are having one hell of a jam on the other side.

Watch the video and then let’s turn that inspiration we all share into something bigger.

The primary focus of PFC is to record and film musicians performing in their natural environments and combine their talents and cultural power in innovative videos called Songs Around The World. Creating these videos motivated PFC to form the Playing For Change Band—a tangible, traveling representation of its mission, featuring musicians met along their journey; and establish the Playing For Change Foundation—a separate 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to building music and art schools for children around the world. Through these efforts, Playing For Change aims to create hope and inspiration for the future of our planet. To learn more about the work of the PFC Foundation, visit http://www.playingforchange.org

ANYONE who acts directly or indirectly to deny ANY child food under ANY circumstances is committing the most heinous crime against civilization. It does matter if it is in a home, at a school or in a country. No child should EVER go hungry.

RIP Ozzy. You went out on top.
Ozzy Osbourne has died. 76. And frankly I’m impressed he made it that far.

If you’re following along on your history repeating itself score card:
Hitler provided air support to the Nationalists in the Spanish Civil War.

Very clever three letter clue in today's NYT Crossword. 14 Across. "Yogi's Accessory". Bat, Hat, or Mat will fit. You need 4 down to verify the right choice.

Students who took several of my classes used to love to watch me stand on my desk when any other student claimed that Rand was a Philosopher and not just a chain smoking hack writer who conned her way up into society by pretending she knew what she was talking about. DON'T GET ME STARTED!!!
