Magazine industry shrank for two decades because paper literacy isn't viable in a digital economy.

Book sales are so low.

Text only as accompaniment to image.

Loving a real, paper magazine is superfluous, like the typewriter.

Sagan felt that the dumbing down of America was most evident in the rejection of science and the growing ignorance of history, art, literature, music and the humanities. If we're to reserve course, we need to revive mass education and literacy.

All hail the eukaryotic revolution!

I spent 44 years expressing myself and testing the Constitution and its protection of my free speech.

I've been marginalized by a system that'd call me eccentric at best, traitorous at worst.

"Good whites" protect me.

When you see an "Indian-American" who looks like me succeeding, they had to make compromises

I think MEXICANS know what I'm talking about

The compromises that are requirements for assimilation include acceptance of native genocide and racism.

Accept white supremacy, you succeed.

Don't, fail.

Oh! @gruber-hans.bsky.social I *did* have the Cubs over the recent one on my "ones I actually watched" list.

My argument though is that this was better because there were so few mistakes. Jays and Dodgers played such BRILLIANT baseball that even is haters had to stop and admire it.
