Great sound track so far...it's in stereo -- stereotypical

I'll be glad when everyone in this town is dead.

Even in the 80s, you didn't "call a doctor."

Good use of sinister bongos there

I work in several high schools and would very much like to see this.

There are times as I approach retirement that I see things, perhaps like those described in this series and think, "I am getting so old, kids today are not really that different, but it just bugs the hell out of me."

But on the other hand, I do truly feel that social media has amplified and warped feelings and behaviors that were probably always there in ways that we can't fully comprehend yet.

Schools endlessly debate whether phones should be in school and thought is always, "I don't care that the kids are wasting time, they will do that anyway, I hate phones in the classroom because it ramps up the DRAMA."

Sounds like this show describes this phenomenon pretty well.

AND as reported (I believe by you, but it needs to be emphasized) USAID and an IG were investigating Musk & Co, I assume for bribing countries to use StarLink.

This is pure corruption, with a side of blackmail. Someone should ask Zuck and Tim Cook how they feel about Musk having the tax records of their companies -- and their personal tax returns as well.

The word is "lied," NPR.

Trump lied about Canada...and everything else.

@glynmoody

Agreed. Getting rid of or reducing inheritance taxes is the worst thing a society can possibly do.

I know I am an old guy, but I second and echo the sentiment of this post and will go one step further...

Is is really necessary to have music/video playing constantly? You can't make it through the evening without having four movies playing? Do you actually enjoy this "content" (it's a tell that it is no longer, "entertainment" it is just "content.")?

To me now, 99.999% of YouTube (TikToc, Reels, etc.) content is beyond boring and poorly made, most pop music is Muzak and adverts are beyond irritating.

Buy an old computer, set up a little streaming set up. Or buy a CD/DVD player. But some CDs/DVDs and play them when you really want to pay attention to them.

The funny thing is that the "attention economy" is going to collapse when the advertisers realize that all of this is just background noise that we fill the air with to kill time while we wait to die.

@Catvalente

Funny how the motto of the TechBros is "Move fast and break things," and then people are all confused as to how we are surrounded by broken things so quickly.

@tinydoctor

Wish we had a dollar bin like that one!

I know my voice is not much here, but I will continue to argue in favor of "creeps" or "creepy."

Weird is just out of the mainstream. But these a-holes want to spy on you to make sure of what exactly you have in your pants or to see exactly what you are doing in your bedroom, so they can punish you for it.

That's creepy. I think that would resonate with women voters than "weird." And trust me, many, many people think that an old man who talks and behaves like #TFG is creepy. He is totally the guy you avoid at the company picnic if you are female. Vance too.

@br00t4c

Wait, one of the #GOP #SCOTUS "justices" is self aware?

They have been doing "textual backflips" since Scalia.

@BeAware @tom

I have never seen that, but then again, I am not looking for it either.

@BeAware @tom

Actually, I was going to suggest social.vivaldi.net 😃

I am thinking they are pretty committed and it will be stable for quite some time.

@br00t4c

Yawn.

@wdlindsy

The real problem with all of this, that I think even the supporters of Alito don't really understand is that even HE can't define what "godliness" is. Ironically, it is like pornography, he just knows it when he sees it.

Today it is abortion, tomorrow contraception and then criminalizing any premarital sex. Whatever "god" whispers into his perverted ear. No matter which side of the line you think you are on now, you can just as easily be on the "wrong" side tomorrow. Even Alito doesn't know where the line will be next week.

This is exactly why the Founders wisely kept religion and law separate.
