The columns are set at 41 because that is what fits
on a half sheet of paper turned side-ways.
The pieces are short and weird. One is on YouTube,
the other an important Quiz.
Let's talk about da Tube
========================
1) It's a feed.
I once saw an ad (naturally) for an
education product that implied it would
be good if (and further implying their
services would achieve) students feeding
their minds instead of minding feeds.
Cute. Also, the thing about being hooked
up to a feed is that it makes you suck.
2) It's an anti-social media.
The whole racket of the digital
behavioralist is to engage fight-or-flight
responses. They are always trying to piss
you off or scare you. The only way out is
to have never engaged in politics -- and
blessed are those who haven't.
3) Otherwise, it works to make you
narrow
If da Tube can't drag you into indignation,
then it follows the logic of Amazon -- oh,
you were looking for a toilet once? You must
want nothing but toilets for all of
eternity.

I'd love to hear from people. My email is the handle minus
"net" (so, a work by Voltaire that starts with "c"), at
sdf.org.
While we're adding boiler plate: this work is in the public
domain. Do what you want with it.
