Hey, guys, when the librarians get pissed about the destruction of books, it’s time to put those listening ears on. Because we are very comfortable with the idea that books are tools that can be retired. What’s happening right now is not that.

Firing up the new phoebe album and the kids are like “mama, why are you listening to this sad music” this is not exactly a quiet contemplative first listen

A fun fact about me is that I have a degree in telecommunication and will die on the hill that media—all of it—has never recovered from the deregulation and consolidation made possible by the Telecom Act of 1996. Don’t get me started on what it did to minority-owned radio and TV stations.

In a YT video titled, “Why every radio station sounds the same,” Phil Edwards goes back to early American radio history to answer this question. Also, it is now CLEARER to me HOW the 1996 Telecommunications Act, signed in Clinton’s administration, is significant in this. https://youtu.be/nhapXNTzdQI
