One of many the many consequences of the devaluing of education, formal or not. People who don’t “have time” or look down on reading books, but also have hours to browse facebook and get misinformed and mad online
WHYY has enough for now (and has historically paid its top directors/talent a LOT). Supporting NJ PBS is more akin to supporting a smaller station that could stretch a dollar
I switched between my parents Acura legend and bench seat caravan as a teen and both were superior cars for young people (in different ways) than most of what is on the market now
Yes - and to the extent that sheltered conservative kids do get more liberal, it’s just as likely if not more that it’s bc they become friends with a more diverse peer group, not bc of anything in class
He also seems wrong on gay marriage. Plenty of evangelical / conservative religious types still oppose it and do think it weakens their conception of what a marriage should be

I listened to pbs while cooking tonight and if you were unfamiliar with Kirk (which I assume most people watching newshour/bbc would be) it was as if all Kirk ever did was “motivate young people to vote.” Complete lack of acknowledgment of anything he said/stood for
I don’t think it was ever even that conscious - or maybe it developed early when I was trying to match the guide? It’s readable and neat (no shame) but I have had more than one person say to me “that’s YOU’RE handwriting? lol” bc it does not match - at all
You should - you have beautiful handwriting. I have very bubbly/girly handwriting? (complete opposite of my personality) and I take great humor in that
Volume! I don’t watch much network tv, but every eagles game was just constant (and very dark) ads. It’s not surprising at all to me that people think there millions of criminal immigrants - that message was forced by some of the most racist ads I’ve ever seen. In that case I think it was elons $
I’m not sure if that holds in every market. Regardless, my guess is the constant negative ads contribute to both people tuning out & not voting, and “both sides are bad” that make distinctions hard for low info voters - who then swung trump
