Was The Debate a really big event? I don’t know, I didn’t watch it mainly because a) I don’t care, and b) I can waste 3 or so hours of my day doing something else. I may be alone in my assessment of something I didn’t rearrange my day to be a passive participant in, but I haven’t been that interested in the whole topic, ever. I did, however, watch a few different reaction videos based on some posts I saw on X.

I had been hoping this media created issue of transgenderism had finally run its course and that as time went on, we;d be hearing less and less about a minority, that doesn’t actually exist. when I say it doesn’t exist, I’m not implying there are no people that suffer from the mental disorder of gender dysphoria as recognized by the DSM-5(Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental disorders). My issue is that somehow, the very small number of diagnoses in the United States classifies these people as a minority.

Is anyone planning on watching the lie debate between Candace Owens and Andrew Wilson concerning the Charlie Kirk murder and those responsible for it or not? Personally, I don’t;t plan wasting 3 or more hours of my time listening to something that is probably less a debate and more of a scream fest (at least from one side) and even though it’s been hyped like the Event of the Century, it’s not. A debate is characterized by a proposition presented, with at least two views :, one of which is against the proposition. Most of what I’ve witnessed in my ife as debates wouldn’t come close to qualifying as such and even more, the people invlved are less qualified to speak for or against whatever the topic may be /9think of political “debates”). This one, comng soon to an Internet channel near you, will probably grate at each side without ever answering the proposition. And what will the proposition be? OF course, at the end, each “side” will claim victory because, unlike an actual debate, there won’t be anyone (independent) there to judge which facts are legitimate and which aren’t. wel, at least it will raise the profile of at least one of the participants. Or lower it.
There is no more television. At east the way it was when I was growing up. It looks like all the good content is now streamed on pay-to-stream networks now. So we not only have Netflix and Hulu, but Peacock (NBC), Paramount+(CBS), Disney+ (ABC) as well as a host of others including Amazon and Apple. There are s lot of free streaming services as well, like Pluto, Tubi, Plex and others as well as specialty streaming sites like eSPN (sports) and others that focus on children’s programming. So, we’ve come a long way since the advent of public, over the air programing, in less than 100 years.

I just watched a video that had me question some of my basic beliefs and became so riled up that I thought I might have to write something about what I watched. Thi is the crux of the story: A woman that when for Burgee King was fored for saying to a customer “Free Palestine”. What? Why on earth would she say anything like that to a customer? It turns out there’s more to the study and it’s being nuanced as a “free speech” issue. Watch the video here.
