Fred Rogers was the host of a beloved American children's program, Mr. Rogers Neighborhood.

I believe reruns still get aired on a lot of public television stations, but it's very much the blueprint for later personality driven children's content, like Ms. Rachel

If it helps, you see, he was “in government” at the time so he had no choice but to be a shit eating sycophant who told the president whatever he thought he wanted to hear.

"Just following orders" is very famously not a defense for being complicit in a genocide

I think our inhumane health insurance system predates Trump being president by at least a little bit...

The United States has some of the longest election cycles, maybe in the world, but definitely among western liberal democracies.

So yes, the literal act itself takes a day. But everything surrounding that day is taken up by planning for the next election, enough robs people of other kinds of political engagement, by being such a massive time and energy sink.

I grew up in a country that insisted these two guys were somewhere to the left of Fidel Castro.

Your post makes me think you somehow believed them...

Join a Union? Feed the homeless? Organize your fellow tenants? Actually attend a city council meeting?

You're smugly confirming your allegiance to the liberal death cult, because your only conception of "political engagement" is voting in a system that is crumbling before our very eyes.

And no, just voting wouldn't have stopped that decay. Nothing in the world is static, and 1000 years of Obama wouldn't stop the larger political-economic factors that are fueling fascism, political polarization, and civil unrest.

Cool, go vote, especially if it's in your local and state elections that no one actually pays attention to. But disengage from the rat race, and do something with an actual impact in your community.

Wolf Launcher, if you don't want to deal with the shitty stock launcher.

CloudStream is good if you watch anime.

The folks on r/piracy seem to like an app called Stremio, but I haven't got that one set up yet.

I have a Jellyfin client.

SmartTube Next is an ad free Youtube client for the firestick.

And then I also have Kanopy and Hoopla which let me access media via my public library card.

She's got a couple of different podcasts. Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff, which is a radical history podcast on the same podcast network as BTB, and Live Like The World is Dying which is a show about prepping.

My first exposure to her was actually by listening to an interview she did for the guerilla radio station operated out of The ZAD, which is in France, and is the largest Anarchist autonomous zone in Europe.
