I found a Reddit discussion of non-smart TVs, and several people recommended the Sceptre brand as non-smart and inexpensive. (Not sure if *all* their models are non-smart, or just some.)
Apparently their sound sucks, so you might want to also get external speakers and/or a sound bar.

I want to leave the quote as-is, but I'm wondering if the use of the term "alt-right" was a difficult choice. It's literally running our country's government. Not so alt.

Experiments show that when bees are exposed to microplastic pollution, their memory gets so muddled they may forget the scents associated with sugary rewards.
As a result, pollination may fail — which is bad news for flowers and crops.
