  1. Pondering it a bit, PBS, being non-profit, is missing the profit incentives that make other media complete shit. You could argue that private sector could/should produce such a thing on its own. But the empirical "data" suggests otherwise.
  2. https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2025/08/trump-statistics-bureau-labor/683749/ For decades, Donald Trump has been at war with numbers. Some have capitulated more swiftly than others. His weight, his golf scores, and his net worth have long fallen in line.
  3. Yeah I saw all that. Still don't make no sense and wore me out. So much so that I took a break.
  4. Yeah it's looking backward. Because PBS CREATED that shit. Something that commercial media did not. So now you can get it on YT, bfd. Someone has to create that stuff in the first place. Online media is toxic as hell. OTA is all about ad revenue. PBS is all about content.
  5. She's just an incredible cunt. Look how smarmy she is.
  6. Well, it doesn't precisely treat it as normal, but it leaves a whole hell of a lot of shit just hanging. For the audience to figure out.
  7. Well we had about 25 years of commercial radio and TV without educational programming for kids. Until PBS came along. So yeah maybe that ol private sector doesn't quite meet all the needs.
  8. Whose propaganda? And which shows are propaganda? Funny, it's accused of being a liberal propaganda machine despite the fact that we've had an awful lot of conservative administrations over its existence. Could it be that, like education, media produced by intelligent people tends a bit liberal? There's really only one party putting out propaganda right now. I listen to NPR a LOT and, although many of the reporters/commentators very subtly cock an eyebrow at a lot of Trump's shit, there's very little propaganda.
  9. A media outlet (that provides media soup to nuts from kids programming to drama and documentaries) that isn't captured by the private sector and/or propaganda machines is a public good just as highways are a public good.
  10. Build your own fucking highways.
  11. Well, the thing that supports C-man's position, with which I agree, is the NWS warning at 1:14 AM. By most accounts, it wasnt until after 2AM that the flooding started in earnest at Mystic. And that's when evacuation efforts started.
  12. 535M annually. About $1.50 per capita. cf. the $16.5B bump DHS gets this year or $50 per capita. I think any outrage is misplaced.
  13. Truth in reporting is one very big reason. Don't be a fucking moron. You're better than this. It's both. Or it was. It's now entirely listener supported. Nixon hated CPB and NPR. That tells you all you need to know.
  14. You don't watch anything on PBS? NPR? KUT? People actually do give a fuck.
  15. Yeah, I think that's rare. And there is usually a fence, I believe, but the gate is and stays open and it's unguarded.
  16. I don't believe she would show until released.
  17. Camp is below minimum. And I think sex offenders, which Maxwell is one, are usually precluded from camps. Not for any real reason other than it would be a publicity shitshow if an inmate escaped. They can usually walk away from camps if they're so inclined.
  18. But isn't that far off. It will wreck the symmetry of the White House.
  19. Fucking Sesame Street, you fucking assholes. The Electric Company. Fuck. You.

    Flaco Gone.

    I was familiar with the name, but Dwight was my knowing introduction to El Flaco.
  21. Gee, and I thought this phenomenon was limited to the Biden Administration. Also, BLS data is getting worse. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2025-07-31/america-s-economic-data-disaster-is-worse-than-we-thought
  22. Not really these days, but getting fired as Chancellor of Mizzou for creating a “toxic environment through threat, fear and intimidation," while mishandling campus racism events and implementing right-wing policies. Also wrote this dogshit screed.

    Flaco Gone.

    Vaya con Dios, amigo.
  24. Also, those states are doing it specifically in response to Texas' cynical effort. It's not in response to "organic" urging from a "left-wing" official or party.
