False narratives in mass media produces a perpetual cycle of violence fueled by irrational hate.

American media outlets are so disconnected from humanity that the lies they spread hurt their own people.

As much as we support and aid those in Palestine let's not forget the Palestinians here, in America, who are also bearing the brunt of hate from irrevocable beings.

I wish for Hisham and the others attacked in this hate crime justice and healing. 🇵🇸

It has not been fully appreciated that the 2016-2024 period represented the implosion of the concept of entertainment, as it had existed in the United States since 1920.

It is fitting, therefore, that now should be a (comparatively) boring time for media. Not only has the economy shifted, but the concepts underlying art, as after wwii, have shattered; wwii ended “high art”; the past eight years ended the pop art that had followed. People are different now. More educated. More informed. Middlebrow is an outdated concept. Populist art is no longer necessary. Most can appreciate Beethoven, most, if they want, can appreciate George Eliot. No need to dumb down anymore; we all have enough information, regardless of formal education or no.

People say “the death of mainstream media,” with typical Joe Rogan (slight) dumbness and lack of perspective; what we are really going though is much larger: the death of mass media, something which has existed since the early 20th century.

We now go backwards, into the nineteenth century, returning home, regaining what’s been lost, while we simultaneously reenact the traumas of the twentieth century, also, in part, as a healing exercise.

The mainstream media has a lot to answer for in the rise of fascism in America. In the past 4 years, they've been doing everything they can to get tRump reelected and thus end democracy because they're pissed that Biden is boring. After 4+ years of tRumps circus of bullshit, they can't handle a president who does his job sanely and without causing an international incident every other day. They desperately want tRump's madness back because his insanity sells news better than a responsible president. Thus, they've been downplaying Biden's accomplishments and honestly borderline slandering him.

Did you know that Biden has made heavily impactful policy changes that have vastly improved the quality of life of all Americans? No? That's because the media is too busy calling him old.

Did you know tRump is showing clear signs of serious cognitive decline and Alzheimers? No? That's because the media is too busy calling Biden old.

Did you know there's a published text called Project 2025 written by multiple conservative PACs and think tanks that outlines in clear steps how the next Republican president will turn the country into a christofascist dictatorship with tRump as the untouchable dictator? No? Why would the media care about that when they can call Biden old.

I resume you heard about how the Supreme Court recently overturned the rule of law and made the president into a king above the law. Did you know how the entire legal system is in a five-alarm fire and calling this the greatest threat to democracy since the civil war? No? That's not as important to the media as HEY DID YOU KNOW BIDEN IS OLD?

At best the mainstream media's behavior is dereliction of their duty to present unbiased facts and keep the public informed. More likely the billionaires who own the mainstream media are trying to swing the election to the party that gives them the most leeway to develop monopolies and treat people like slaves in the search for more money to hoard.

This isn't even getting into the media covering up, justifying, and manufacturing consent for the genocide of Palestineans. Its clear the media in America is broken. I don't know how to fix it, but something needs to be done, because a well-informed public is a vital part of a democracy and we don't have that right now.

" Educare all'ozio significa insegnare a scegliere un film, uno spettacolo teatrale, un libro. Insegnare a sbrigare le attività domestiche e a far da sé molte cose che fin qui abbiamo comprato. Insegnare la convivialità, l'introspezione, il gioco. Anche la pedagogia dell'ozio ha una sua etica, una sua estetica, una sua dinamica, delle sue tecniche. E tutto questo va insegnato. L'ozio richiede luoghi adatti per riposarsi, per distrarsi, per divertirsi. Ai giovani perciò bisogna insegnare a districarsi non solo nei meandri del lavoro, ma anche nei meandri delle varie offerte di loisirs. Significa educare a fare il genitore e a fare il coniuge, ai rapporti con l'altro sesso, al volontariato, cioè ad attività socialmente utili da svolgere nel tempo libero che avremo in abbondanza. Ce n'è da insegnare! La massa della gente non sa scegliere neppure un luogo di vacanze: va in un'agenzia e si fa rifilare quello che capita. La massa della gente non sa come distrarsi e come riposarsi. Bisogna educare alla notte: la nostra cultura è tutta diurna, vede la notte come uno spazio privatissimo, peccaminoso. E poi bisogna educare alla cultura post-moderna: molte espressioni della nostra cultura non sono godibili immediatamente com'era per la pittura classica o per la musica tradizionale. Siano architettura, scultura o design, spesso possiamo apprezzarle solo se ne conosciamo storia, senso e scopo. Posso rimanere istantaneamente colpito di fronte alla Gioconda o a una statua di Canova, ma per capire Mondrian devo sapere cos'è stato il movimento De Stijl, e per ammirare davvero Van Gogh devo sapere cos'è stato l'Impressionismo. Educare significa insegnare ad arricchire le cose di significato, come diceva Dewey. Più educato sei, più significati cogli nelle cose e conferisci alle cose. "
