@KeenanPeachy You should have given up on candy for Lent. I always gave up Good & Plenty and Red Hots.

@walterkirn I wonder if my reading is leaving me behind in the culture. I am surrounded by people addicted to YouTube. I only use it to hook up a TV or fix an appliance.

And reading on paper is better than reading on screens, if only because you can't jump to a video at at any time. But there are many other reasons.

Like an appreciation of progress, reading and literacy are among the things that are good but cognitively unnatural. That is, they go against our evolved nature. We didn’t evolve with print; it was a recent invention. Reading, for many of us, has become so second nature that we just assume it’s the most natural way of getting information. But what we’ve seen, especially in the last 10 years, when video has become so cheap because of the cloud computing revolution and the broadband revolution, is that a lot of people, unlike us, much prefer to listen and watch than to read. You just see this: when I go to Google and ask a basic question about how to unstick my printer or solve a problem, I get like five videos. And I just want a paragraph that would solve it. I don’t want to see Seth saying, “Hi, welcome to my show. If you like it, subscribe and give it a like.” So just help me solve the problem. But clearly there’s something unusual about me, because people are going for the video. And the massive availability of video—of TikTok, of YouTube—means that people may not be getting the practice or putting in the effort into literacy, which we have reason to believe was one of the drivers of the Flynn effect and of cognitive sophistication in general. @HumanProgress

If President Trump was going to tank the economy to achieve something big for the people - mass deportations was the option. The disruption to the economy would have been serious, but long run the people would benefit massively.
Smashing Iran - doesn’t help a single American.

@atensnut Sundays, Grandma watched the toddlers, the mothers were off to the fabric store, while the men did the brakes/changed the oil on a car (drinking beer in the garage). Then food: tacos or sloppy joes. Noise level was outrageous. Take me back. I was so lucky to have that.

@FDRLST Not committing the crime of entering our country illegally is at least a start at being a good American. Classified as respecting our laws and our culture. Wanting to be a citizen instead of coming to loot the country. Quit trying to make it ok to break the law.

@HamptonPrezcott @liberscravola Stopped watching when they engaged in propaganda over Covid. Also avoiding shows that show graphic blood/body parts. Lasted only a few minutes of Scarpetta as Nicole Kidman dug her hands into a “body” pulling out the liver with sucking noises. Dead body porn.

The West Wing really poisoned the minds of creatives for a generation, thinking that lazy fan fiction like this is somehow “stunning” and “brave”

Of course MAGAs are now mad at HBO and threatening to boycott because, let me check my notes, the show "The Pitt" portrayed a very realistic scene of ICE Nazis kidnapping a patient in the ER and arresting a doctor saying the show demonized ICE agents 🙄

@JamesAFurey In high school in the 1960's, if you misbehaved, you were sent to a middle school across town for a set amount of weeks. This was punishment as you missed your gang, friends. The commute to the school for parents was also an incentive to not mess up.

@EricLDaugh @dbongino I have noticed that Mr Kent is strikingly handsome. Is this a ploy to ingratiate himself with Democrats with the goal of being a viable political candidate?

🚨 JUST IN: Dan Bongino says resigned NCTC Director Joe Kent was wrong to say Iran is not an "imminent threat"
"I've read probably a lot more intelligence than he did...I had access to just about everything. And how you could come to the conclusion that the Israelis did it and there was no imminent threat here? Really?!"
"What about the anti-ship ballistic missiles, the drone program, 440 kilograms of 60 percent enriched nuclear material, their constant death-to-America chants?"
"I mean, you know, that's called evidence. In some limited circles, we call that, you know, a clue."
"I mean, I don't know at what point you thought this wasn't an imminent threat, after you've read a lot of the stuff I read."
"And, by the way, that's just the open-source stuff we can talk about on the air."
"I promise you, the president, I promise you, has a bevy of material that if he could do the men in black thing and erase your mind tomorrow, if he told you right now, you would come to the imminent threat conclusion in a snap." @dbongino
