I can confirm PBS Passport is a VERY good deal for $5/month or less if you choose an annual membership.

Thousands of hours of top notch content. 40 seasons of NOVA. Great kids programs. The new Ken Burns doc on Leonardo da Vinci is excellent.

The more I roll it around in my mouth, the more certain I am that the "AI" mania *perfectly* encapsulates neoliberalism in its entirety.

- doesn't work and never has
- steals everything around it
- produces nothing of value
- destroys all things with actual value
- lies
- creates the illusion of efficiency while vastly increasing both monetary and social costs
- is supported by militant zealots with tiny minds and hearts
- enriches a tiny group of individuals at the cost of destroying Earth
