i would question how much it has displaced books versus the general literacy rates among the populations, sure there were more books, but if only 10-20% could actually read, does that make difference? I grew up mostly on tv, and i learned a lot of from it, simpsons taught me a lot about world culture, norm macdonald taught me not to give a shit about the news narrative and say what is real, and thousands of other references that went over my head but still contributed to my understanding of the way fo things. its an interesting question presently becasue we literally have unfettered access to all knowledge in our pockets and dont even have to know how to read.

isnt tv just a different form of passive entertainment, before it were cheap dime store comics and bubble wrappers, before that plays, before that jesters, and before that Grungh with his cool rocks that look things we dont have words for…

you guys dont understand the dedication that goes into not only getting the sunday paper to get the tv guide, getting all the non repeat episodes timed into the vcr for the week, hoping there was an easterly wind to help with reception and there were no overtimes, keeping a stack of organized blank vcr tapes and loading those in prior to the bus showing up so you could fast forward thru commercials. Adhd before it was for it was just for the trouble kids in class

i think it is frustration at the merciless and targeted killing of children during Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Israel really went whole hog on killing kids and i will probably have nightmares of seeing those little souls gunned down or blown to bits intentionally by Israel

its also giving china big looks at the US’s current weaknesses with their huge toys that cant account for millions of flying toy planes with grenades self guiding themselves into them. US was built on big power projection but it is expensive as shit and the rapist pissed off of their allies. China could do a lot of damage, whether that is enough to take taiwan 🤷‍♂️ but it would be expensive as hell and be a lot more things for new coral reefs to build from

yeah, that really scare the shit out of me, what the hell is the purpose? the owner has 750 airbnb properties so this was not small potatoes and well financed with hired chinese chemists

just wait till they are doing it to blue cities, or do whatever they were doing to do with those bioweapon lab network uncovered in vegas a month ago and seems to have been swept out of the news

they are sleeping thru letting Farange worm his way back into power.

thank you dont know to much about martin, will look into this more, hoping you are right

why would you say they have changed? just like two weeks ago schumer’s primary focus was still israel, and i think jefferies was noncommittal recently when asked about stopping iran offensives

Operation The Viagra Dont Work Anymore

but their parents are still posting pictures of jesus anointing the feet of the pedo rapist on their facebook wall, who should they believe them or you?

Saw this cool site with a live map of alerts of the region, but I also noticed an odd name on the map. TIL Batman is a city and province in southeastern Turkey, serving as a major hub for the country’s oil industry near the Tigris River.
