Too much media, too much politics, too much inaccurate information, too much

any of the talking heads for a long time. Highly recommend it, I aint missin' nuthin

Just as an add, you click on the weather today to see what's happening and it's all
in red with exclamation points and warnings. We're going to get up to a foot of snow
(maybe). Imagine that in Syracuse in February. Everything is scary in the world anymore.
Speaking of February, did you guys see what the groundhog saw for a shadow on Groundhog's
Day? Season's on, boys, it's official.

Rush turned away from Conservatism into a rich Republican..which has NOTHING to do with American Conservatism. And he tried to claim he wasn't the MSM. Ridiculous. Charter member of said MSM.
Rogan has far too many listeners to be considered anything but a major part of the MSM. Steak dinner says Americans can't name the anchors at CBS, NBC, ABC news. I know I sure as heck can't. Not even one of them.

Neil Young expands on his decision to leave Spotify - Did not realize how Spotify reduces the data feed in digital music to stream more content at a lower quality level. Makes sense for Young on one level but doesn''t explain why he accepted those terms from Spotify in the first place if, in his opinion, it significantly degraded the quality of his music.

Re: media matters
I like my hood here in Atlanta (candler park). They’re rich hippies who get the joke. When I first moved in a neighbor said they had their kids in a nearby Padaeia school. And the mom said “it’s, you know, a Kumbaya school”. I asked “oh do they not give grades there or something” her: “they give grades but they talk about their feelings a lot”. So it’s not a cheap area and you need some dough to buy in where they get the joke but also super kind, active and generous/magnanimous/philanthropic people. Not squirreling every nickel off the table to hoard they are good where they are at and share more than most in a similar cohort. Really got the perfect mix in and around my house and hope I stick in it for my kids entire childhood.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Fri Feb 04, 2022 7:37 amAin't that what being a hippie is all about?

In 1974 I had the 2nd longest hair in my HS class. It went just above my shoulders. My hair was always super clean and shampooed and brushed every day. In 1974 it was still all brown..
