When covid and work-from-home hit, I made it a point to mostly give up streaming and go back and listen to *all* my CDs and rediscovered so much. Now, for the last couple of months I put a turntable in my office and doing the same with vinyl. Also fun & it makes me get out of the chair more often.

My various feeds are filled with posts from libraries, pet shelters, rec centers, and regular old people about services they are preparing to offer when SNAP runs out.

It’s inspiring that there are good people out there who care and want to help.

It’s infuriating that our “leaders” are useless.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

I think it all goes back to the need for everything in media to be a hot take about what is going to happen next rather than reporting on and explaining to people what happened. See also, political coverage.

“Mr. Kruse, isn’t it true that during the debate you referred to BBQ as being largely dependent on the brown sugar in the rub while we all know that BBQ should be covered in a thick sauce and accompanied by cole slaw? What do you have to say for yourself?!?!?”
