That's the very meaning of Marshall McLuhan's teachings: "the podcast is the mass age" March 1967 lessons about James Joyce.

"The miseries of conflict between the Eastern and Roman churches, for example, are a merely obvious instance of the type of opposition between the oral and the visual cultures, having nothing to do with the Faith." - Marshall McLuhan

James Joyce understood this hate preaching better than any human in all world history. The love of the intimate touch screen device, hardware love, the Apple iPod Podcast venue. Joyce saw in Ireland what everyone in 2026 does not want to face: Exact same printed book on paper, The Bible in year 1895 had two different organized networks of venues: Catholic Church book venue, Protestant Church book venue. And extreme hate over anyone who calls out how shallow and superficial Bible fandom is regarding who is reading the common book on paper. Joyce was the most brilliant man in all history about world peace! Finnegans Wake is light-years beyond 孙子兵法. People murder and bomb each other in Ireland over book club fandom, The Bible. People put into media-venue loyalty and trance to murder their fellow man over the absolutely extreme superficial banal reading of a book.

“As his title indicates, he saw that the wake of human progress can disappear again into the night of sacral or auditory man. The Finn cycle of tribal institutions can return in the electric age, but if again, then let’s make it a wake or awake or both. Joyce could see no advantage in our remaining locked up in each cultural cycle as in a trance or dream.” - from the book “The Medium is the Massage: An Inventory of Effects” by media analyst Marshall McLuhan and graphic designer Quentin Fiore, and coordinated by Jerome Agel. It was published in March 1967

Happy Bloomsday! Love to all. "That's not life for men and women, insult and hatred. And everybody knows that it's the very opposite of that that is really life."

I guess it’s about time

Rojie’s prompt for today, May 29th, is:

If you’re making a time capsule for 2026, what goes in it?

I’d probably toss in box sets of Marx Brothers and Laurel and Hardy DVDs, because these future people might need things to laugh over whenever they open the time capsule up. And I suppose I should put a DVD player and instructions in there just in case because we know how fast technology evolves.

Music. Maybe copies of the 2,300+ Grateful Dead shows, but I’m positive those will endure on their own so what else? I don’t think I can narrow that down to just one answer so forget music.

How about some books? A copy of John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath so people don’t forget. A copy of Thich Nhat Hanh’s The Miracle of Mindfulness so people can learn. A copy of the Bible with every printed page torn out and just one sheet of paper taped inside with three lines:
1) If it’s something that bothers you, or would bother you, don’t do it to other people.
2) Always be nice to the animals; I put them here for a reason. They don’t bother you and most of them are smarter than you. Yes, even the squirrels.
3) At least once per day, layeth the palm of your hand flat on a tree and tell that tree how much you love it and respect it. And do not cutteth down the trees for I liketh them and will mark your name down in a book you really don’t want your name marked down in.
(And just in the spirit of getting people to do goofy things)
4) Sayeth the word “four” twice when greeting people.

On the idea of books, How about a classic book with a surprise or twist ending, maybe something by Agatha Christie, with the last page torn out? Equal parts mean and fun or just plain mean? Maybe do that with a bunch of books and toss them in the capsule. Then the future people can divide into groups called Finishers and calmly debate the different possible endings and share coffee and sweets. But maybe that’s not such a good idea because since they’re people and people don’t do anything calmly and they’ll more than likely violate commandment #1 above about 10 minutes after reading it, they’ll just use the different possible book finishes to start wars. The Finisher Wars. Finish Wars the banners and headlines will read so maybe there’s a little irony there.

I suppose I could write a letter to myself for the people who open the time capsule in the future to read. And thinking about that idea now, I could create a completely fictional version of life in 2026 and before that would confuse historians and maybe lead to the establishment of a new religion named after me where peanut butter is holy, chickens are sacred, and no one drinks milk. And people go to professional wrestling matches on Saturday or Sunday mornings because why not?

Oh, and a picture of Jennifer Aniston.

Four four.

A song for this prompt is easy.
