  • Those of us possibly even older may point to the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine in '87. From Wikipedia, the fairness doctrine “required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that fairly reflected differing viewpoints.” In short, it’s repeal paved the way for Fox News and led all the way to CBS under Weiss.

    But to your point, there are 3 things on my platform that I tell anyone who wants to hear it. 3 actionable items:

    1. Reinstate the Fairness Doctrine.
    2. Repeal the Patriot Act.
    3. Overturn Citizens United.

    I didn’t say it would be easy.




  • I agree, which is why I don’t see why people are saying the answer is 16. You add in the parentheses, you multiply, then you divide. The answer is 1.

    This left-to-right business linked below is complete nonsense when it comes to equations. That’s how westerners read books, but not how math is communicated. Am I that old? Like Mr. Incredible said, did they change math!?!
















  • I went back and watched the Star Trek DS9 season 2 opener, 3 parter. Then I listened to the Delta Flyers podcast to hear some insider info and context.

    I’ve seen the series multiple times, so I can picture just about every scene when the Flyers are going through their synopsis, but I thought I’d try to rewatch the episodes first and then listen. I enjoyed it, but the practice also enforced the fact that I really have seen TNG, DS9 and Voyager a ton and I wasn’t missing much in my internal teleplay.
