The past month or so I've been watching Game Show Network on a fairly regular basis. It's astounding to me how stupid the average person is.
Watching these shows in which people give dumb answers reminds me of the statement by George Carlin: "Think of how stupid an average person is and realize half of them are stupider than that."
Since I've been a kid, I've had the uncanny ability to stub my little toe on either of my feet about once a week if I'm lucky. The nails on my little toes are bashed to ugliness.
I've discovered the HBO show/podcast Talking Sopranos that I'm enjoying a lot. I'm revisiting that great series.
A while back I rewatched all of Boardwalk Empire. I had forgotten what a great TV series that one is.
I bought a book recently that is likely to be banned by some idiotic parents in school districts because the non-fiction book talks about racism, sexism, and antisemitism, among other issues. It's titled Accountable: The True Story of a Racist Social Media Account and the Teenagers Whose Lives It Changed by Dashka Slater.
I don't normally read books that are typically labeled "young adult," but this book looked interesting.
