Not tonight. At nine is the season premier of Fringe. When we left them, Olivia was stuck in the alternate universe and the alternate Olivia was here, impersonating her.

Watching how Death Valley was formed - that's the kind of stuff I have a TV for.

Of course I have to put up with supposedly highly educated people saying stupid things like "Four times colder" or "200% smaller"...

That's when the shoes bounce off the screen.

Get something that doesn't bounce!

At least half the time the "science" itself is as valid as the innumerate lingo.

What makes you so sure they're not slipping in brain death on your computer screen?

THEY ARE!!!!!!!

But the focus most of their attention on the "social media" and groupthink sites, all of which I avoid like the plague. The moment I catch a whiff of it on any site I frequent, bip bam, they're OFF my bookmarks and I don't go there anymore. And at least in print you can bring it up and SHOW it for what it is, counter it somewhat. CAN'T DO THAT WITH TV.

Fer fucksakes! They've been pumping people at YALE and HARVARD full of outright knowing disinformation for decades! Truly, there are MBAs from those schools who think the Fed is FEDERAL. Physicists who are DOGGEDLY AND DETERMINEDLY working their butts off down blind alleys because the TRUTH is a no-no and they don't get funds or tenure or nuthin' if they go there. IN FACT they get bounced out on their butts if they go there.

THAT is part of the crap they crank out on tv, PLUS viciously murderating slippery designer memes that sound so fucking reasonable even YOU bring them up when you haven't stopped to think about them enough!

SMASH YER FUCKIN' TV TO BITS! Or trade it in on a more functional computer! STOP LETTING YER BRAIN BE TAINTED OUT OF LIFELONG SUICIDAL HABIT!!!!!!!!!

We gotta free our minds! Icke is right. We gotta get off our knees and open our heads and tvs are brain killers! At their very most innocuous they are like thousand-pound weights on our heads and hearts!

The linked article, in addition to saying, "Turn off the TV," also says, "Log off your computer."

Google may be inserting subliminal brain death on this very blog. :-o

No, here is where you come for ACTUAL brain death. I flatter myself that it is the Zen kind, but....

Schedule an appointment with your local station's public file, often.

I've never in my life lowered myself to competing in circumlocution with a woman.
—Viktor Yanukovych

Women really are the other half of the sky.
—John Lennon

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
—John F. Kennedy

The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
—Ronald Reagan

Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.
—Martin Luther King

We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked.
—not uttered by anyone in charge lately

Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them.
—Old Uncle Dave

As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country.
—Pat Buchanan

Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids.
—Scott Horton

There has to be altruism in the universe.
—Frank Drake

The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome.
—Paul Craig Roberts

I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court.
—Cynthia McKinney

No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world."
—Chris Floyd

The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below.
—Howard Zinn

...the government only starts listening to its voters once the more corrupt option turns out to be untenable.
—Matt Taibbi

· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.

· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.

· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.

Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further.
—Ted Rall

As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil.
—Terry Eagleton

commenting kaos, sidebar krap, quotes

Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice.
—Michael Parenti
